41. Obama may not have the Clinton machine
but he has plenty of people watching his back just from Illinois, including our other Senator Dick Durbin. I pity the fool that has to deal with Durbin. ;-)

If the republicans had Barack killed, there would be all HE** break loose and I do believe we would have a race/civil war on our hands. Not because he is the "Black candidate" but because frankly I think the people in the African American communities are tired of us (meaning the USA government/whites in power) killing any strong "Black leader" that they see as a threat: as well they should be. I think that any violence against Barack would be one of the stupidest moves ever to be done, but this administration is known for their stupidity, so I won't say it never could happen. There is also the chance of this happening due to a Democrat opponent, and honestly this is one election that I would not overlook that possibility, and I am not talking about only one candidate either.

What I do say is, that Barack is smart. He had people with him here in Illinois in 2004 and he will have more people watching over him now. He knows this country's history and he knows the danger, and he does not have the martyr syndrome that makes he want to die for a cause. I worry about Barack because I like him, but I will never be one that says he should not run because he might be assassinated. Gobama!
