If it ain't Barak don't fix it.

How come I think we are setting ourselves up for a fall with Obama? I want to get on the bandwagon - badly - but can't yet. He has spent two years in the Senate - largely on book tours. How easy will that be to for McCain to exploit? But W had no real experience you yelp!! Which proves my point. Now if they are smart, the Obama Nation will use Lincoln as the analogy for their man - Abe climbed through the ranks of Illinois politics in a very few years to become President.
Regardless, in 2008 after 8 years of childish stupidity, we will want a grown up. McCain can and will use Obama's short stint in the Senate against him. Oh and for all those who want him because he will take down Clinton. Think again. He will take down Edwards. Hillary will be there when Obama stumbles. And Obama will stumble. (see Howard Dean and that very special scream) All those who want a non Clinton should be doing all they can to get Gore in the race. Gore/Obama. Gore/Tester. Gore/Richardson etc etc etc. Gore/Spitzer even.

We all like the idea of Obama 08, not because of who he is but because of who we want him to be.

Stay tuned.
