They Just Can’t Resist.

Sure enough, Obama is “considering” the presidency.

The only fun thing about that is thinking about the heartburn it must be giving Hillary.

Just imagine what a Clinton/Obama ticket would do to the bigot redneck types - a woman and a black guy! That could be setting us up for 16 years of Democratic presidents…

I’m not sure how I feel about this…he’s still kinda young to be put out to pasture after 8 years, but on the other hand, I’ve always felt that an ancient president is almost certain to be out of touch with younger Americans…if he could actually win (and I think it’s very possible), he’d probably be a great president. Against Giulianni or McCain (or both on the same ticket), he’d have a tough fight against all that experience.

The thing I’m most afraid of is that inexperience will let him make some silly mistake that the Republicans will manage to blow up into another Dean scream or swiftboat attack…

I think he is electable– Far more so than Hilary. God I hope the Dems don’t waste him, by pairing him w/Hillary. I don’t understand why you are poo-pooing him, he’s the best chance the Dems have. I reject the “need to be a governor” or executive meme. He really does have some cross-appeal.

What worries me is that he’d lose against Giuliani or McCain and then have the L on his forehead and have that liability coming back later. I think it would be a waste. If he ran as Hillary’s VP and she still lost, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt him as much, as directly.
