If he runs, he'll get elected.

Getting him to run and getting the party to support his run are the biggest barriers.

I think that Obama can transcend the racial barrier, even with people who are characteristically prejudiced. He is absolutely mesmorizing. He brings out the hope and energy in us that Americans are becoming desperate for. He's extraordinary.

And anyway, I think the polls would see a record turnout of dem and progressive voters, women voters, young voters, minority voters, and new voters in general if Obama ran.

If those words weren't right on the money, I don't know what is...where is bling bling? That dude (or dudette) is a prophet LOL
