I don't think he has any chance to get elected because of lack of experience.
Bryan, prejudice is everywhere. Stereotyping it only in the 'south' makes you the bigot.
You don't corner the market on travel, Bryan. I have traveled extensively and even lived in other countries and disagree with what you consider a fact. Your prejudice against the south makes you a bigot. You cannot prove your 'fact'.

Combine the slandering he has received because of his name with the old prejudices which still exist in many places in the south and I would have to say the answer is no. I cannot believe how many different people I have talked to that say they will not vote him because they think he is a Muslim. I do not plan to vote for Obama, but the reason is because I don't like his platform.
suckstobu: I know that prejudice exists everywhere. I have traveled all over the country and through a good portion of the world. However, I am from the South, or more specifically Texas and I do have knowledge of what I speak of. I am not a bigot, racist, or a hatemonger. The fact of the matter is that the South's history in this area is much more tainted than that of the North. Further, the Democrats in the North tend to be more of the liberal variety and generally do show more racial tolerance, but feel free to live in denial of these simple facts as that is your right.

If you had any respect for the man as a human being, you would refer to him by either his given name (Barack) and his surname, or simply by his surname. I don't believe his middle name has any impact on how he would lead the country, nor should it have any impact on his electability- it was given to him by his parents when he was born, and I doubt they knew who Saddam Hussein was at the time.
I think he may have a fair shot, but I know that Hillary is currently ahead in terms of both polls and fundraising.

Cute trick with the name, Skippy.
He will not be nominated this time, but after two terms of Hillary it will be his turn. The exposure of an unsuccessful Presidential campaign for a newcomer is beneficial, not harmful, for future ambitions.

That thing with the name is almost as good as Billery!!
No, I don't think he will win, but I do think he is a good man and I hope he will serve this country well in the future!

Nice shot with the name you took there, real intelligent. I do believe he will fall after the primaries, but it won't be because of people who think his middle name is somehow relevant.

no, i think he will lose the primaries and be back next time with more experience and hopefully win. He seems to speak with a lot of sense, I don't see what's unlikeable about him.

Doesn't look like it. He's made $80 million in fundraising so far, while that Mormon and liberal republican have both made less than half that amount.

i do not believe that he has a real chance, but the Clinton's want him to be the second runner up because he is taking votes from anyone else that would challenge them.

Why don't you like him? Because of his middle name? Because his last name varies by one letter from, well, you know? Because he's a black man?
Even if he doesn't succeed, I hope he will serve as an inspiration to others.
