obama can’t win. name recognition is a very big thing…there are plenty of people who won’t know much about the canidates but will still vote and would see his name Barack hussein Obama and will think… saddam hussein and Osama bin laden. plus you gotta count in the fact he’s black. there are still large parts of this country that won’t vote for a black guy even if he proved to be Jesus Christ. so he’s gotta count on blacks to come out in masses to vote for him… blacks are 12%… of the 12% how many are voting age… of that How many aren’t convicted felons and are allowed to vote, of that how many are registered, of that who will show up and of that who will vote for him. too many “ifs” … the party won’t run him.
