Why Obama won 07:30am on 04 Jun 2008 I'm wondering if Obama himself is a little surprised he won the nomination.

I read somewhere that "the plan" was to run for President in 2012...after another term in the Senate.

I wonder if he had planned this as a "trial run" for more Americans to learn about him? And because of the things you mentioned in your witty top ten list, primarily #3, he finds himself a contender! Lucky for us!

I wish him the best and hope he surrounds himself with honest people who will not try to convince him to "play the game" to his detriment. For me, it has been the integrity he has shown in addressing issues like the gas tax gimmick and Hillary's open hostility. I hope his handlers don't convince him otherwise....you know, "polls show that if you say this or do that....." I would rather he continue showing polite but firm resolve....people know authenticity when they see it.
What's next? 06:26am on 04 Jun 2008 As a white woman who has supported Obama from the beginning...I don't understand why polls show so many others as Hillary supporters. My mother sure loved her.

My fear now? That McCain, the Lobby, and some rednecks will begin the Obama-basing rumors that will bring him down. I am so nervous because I know people that get most of their information from chain emails....hard to believe isn't it?

I know it's unconstitutional but I like to dream of a time where knowledge tests must be passed before allowed to vote! You know, basic knowledge of history, current events, and the details about each candidate. I can dream can't I?
