An interesting observation from a class of mine today

[SouthernBelle82]

Well today in my Spanish class we all were waiting on my teacher to come in and she was running late. For whatever purpose politics came up and most people in the class were republican supporters. I was very surprised actually since we're all about the late teen's or early twenty's in age wise. One point Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton came up for president in 2008 because one girl said she couldn't wait for 2008 to get rid of Bush. Nobody had anything negative to say about Obama and I found that interesting. Has anyone else had this experience and why do you think people like Obama like that even though he is democratic?

2. True

Why do you think that is? They've gone after everyone else but I'm not sure why not Obama (well except Rush calling him Usama and one girl joked that was how she remembered his name).

5. Still "honeymooning" though not for long.

3. Everything You Can Think Of - And Like Ice It Will All Melt Away

By 2008 he will be just another Senator, just another one of the 100 wannabe-Presidents. At the moment he has one thing going for him that will wash away quickly - that is that he is new. After tuesday he becomes just another one of the dark mass that has been there forever.

4. Could be

I would think so. It's possible but I think that's up to Obama. If he keeps his spotlight and does the correct moves he could possibly be a presidential nominee someday.

6. Obama is new on the scene...

...and does not have much of a paper-trail. That works in his
favor now, but in the future may give rise to charges of
"inexperience".
