Anywhoooo... Do you think Obama would be a good candidate, and if so, why? I'm not joking or digging. Just curious how you see him as a candidate. | Honestly, I don't feel I know enough about him yet to say. I'm still doing the research but on first blush, I'm inclined to say no. I think he has potential and he seems to have the charisma that so many voters seem to think is necessary but I'm not sure I quite buy everything he's saying right now. He's still young though so who knows what the future holds for him. If I had to pick a Democrat right now, I'm not sure who I would say would be the best. Richardson holds some promise but I don't think he's got the backing. I don't think either Hillary or Edwards could win - both have too much baggage. Edwards may have stood a chance if he had not aligned himself with Kerry last go round. I still feel if McCain would get the GOP nomination, he would stand the best chance of defeating a Democrat. Personally, I'd like to see a stronger Libertarian candidate. |
