Obama's Profile Has Democrats Taking Notice

Popular Senator Is Mentioned as 2008 Contender

EAST ORANGE, N.J. -- Barack Obama was standing before a packed high
school auditorium when he noticed a familiar face in the crowd -- none
other than singer Dionne Warwick. He paused, flashed a mischievous
smile, then let loose with a perfectly on-key performance of the
opening line of her hit song "Walk On By."
The audience of 300 students and adults roared with approval.
Obama, a first-term Democratic senator from Illinois, seems to be
hitting the right notes these days. During Senate recesses, he has been
touring the country at breakneck pace, basking in the sudden fame of a
politician turned pop star. Along the way, he has been drawing crowds
and campaign cash from Democrats starved for a fresh face and ready to
cheer what Obama touts as "a politics of hope instead of a politics of
fear."

I almost wonder if these stories about pushing Obama for the white
house, are not being pushed forward by republicans. An Obama democratic
nominee would guarantee another republican presidency. Just being black
and smart is not going to get the democrats the top job. Obama has not
been a leader in the senate and even though only about 25% of white
people might say they wouldn't vote for a black man, up to 75% actually
wouldn't. Obama has no more chance than Condeleeza Rice. Just being
realistic.

How come he was elected by 70% majority during the Illinois Senatorial
elections?

Well gee, when both the republican and democratic candidates are black,
it might happen that way. Alan Keyes was a last minute republican
replacement who didn't even live there, also he is kind of a nut.
Besides Illinois isn't that representative of America. Hey, a black
candidate is fine with me and if he was the democratic nominee I would
vote for him. But I just don't see enough Americans being that open
minded yet in these close presidential election races. Might work in
Ohio but it wouldn't work in Florida, West Virginia, and Arkansas.
States democrats need. Unless of course the republican candidate is a
real loser.

I doubt any other black candidate would win. That's the point. Have you
lloked at his resume?

He wasn't as black as his opponent, what's-his-name? Besides, his opponent
is so awful, I can't ever remember his name, and think of him as "His
Excreble Shrillness."
