I don't know if he can win or whether he can fix the country, but I get his podcast and he is an incredibly intelligent, incredibly articulate candidate.
I think he has about a 50 times better chance of getting elected than Hillary.

..hillary is very popular with about 35% of the country...the democratic
loyalists...but her negatives are over 40%....so she can win the democratic
nomination but not at all clear about the general election ( which i would
hope she would lose )...

Originally posted by LundosI don't know who should, but the person that will take over needs to carry their own party convincingly and take some voters from the opposing party. So, currently it looks like John McCain. Personally, I think McCain is a complete sell out, but that's just me. There are tons of Democrats that just love him, even though he sold out.

...the name is just a irrelevancy....it is just that he only has about 18 months as a senator...cannot sit in the oval office with such limited executivie or foreign affairs ability....not in 2008...maybe 2016....
If he's as smart as everyone seems to think he is, and he does seem to have it on the ball, then joining with Hillary now will put him in the catbird seat for 2016.
rufolf hess was smart...so was stalin..."smart" doesn't go far with me...and
hillary already put a knife in obama...saying he didn't have the experience
to be president ( so how can he then be a vice-presidential candidate whose
only purpose is to be president should bill stangle hillary one day )...no...
hillary would just have to double-speak her way around her present statement to get obama on the ticket....nooo...time to start thinking about
real people and no people magazine people..
