Barack Obama in 2008 official thread
I think not. IMO the Clinton political machine will beat him.

Turn it into a poll.
I vote no. He has essentially zero chance. Though, I do hope he runs. Candidacies can accomplish other goals than elevation to office. For Obama that might be keeping in front of the public eye issues that he feels others are ignoring.

How many votes would he get from "crackers" below the Mason-Dixon line?
I can just see some of the negative adds..........
Vote for "Barack Hussein Osama?"
Those same voters would never vote for any woman!
Let alone one with the "Clinton" name!
Would those below the Mason-Dixon line voters even vote for a Hispanic candidate?
Don't think so!
