Wow an interesting day in this thread.

Anyway I think Obama won big in Oregon which isn't really a surprise considering how well he did in Washington. And this has been the whole reason, why Obama keeps leading, is Clinton could have made an argument if she won every state after Ohio and Texas, but that didn't happen at all. Instead she lost a few by big margins, and while she indeed won a few. They were rather smaller states. Anyway hes the candidate, he just don't have the numbers at this stage.

Well looking at what you guys are talking about. I think one can question whether or not Obama is qualified for the the role. What is interesting, is this will be the first time someone has come straight from the senate since Kennedy.

Also I did notice Karrde, that you felt Obama could not win in November. I think such a statement sounds silly as far as I am concerned he could well take the Presidency. Hes likely to take Michigan and Colorado. He could take New Mexico and Ohio could possibly go to him. If he takes Ohio hes probably got it. So I don't think you can say he can't win in November.

Mind you I'm going to be in McCain's camp because well I don't think Obama can deliver on what hes promising, and I'm not sure how he will handle a crisis. To me, there is just too many unknowns linked to Obama.
