I agree with the comments above but my rose-colored glasses broke a while ago and I am tired of settling for the least worst candidate. So... questionable politics and experience or agreeable politics and no experience? Dem, yes - but then who?

"Obama's got charisma to spare" Yep, he has everything but experience. As best I can tell, Obama is simply not qualified to be President. After 3 years at SU Law, I can tell yuo that being a law professor isn't a qualification to be anything else (even a lawyer). Do we really want to run a training school for another President? Look how it worked for Jimmy Carter. Do we really want someone who the Republicans can so easily demonize? Look what they did to Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry. I'm a lifelong Democrat who would really like to win this time. Obama may have a place in the next Administration, but not at the top.

ugh. remember when obama said he wouldn't promise that he could end the war by the end of his first term, because you never know what will happen between now and then? now he's bringing troops home in 16 months? how's he figure? he's all vague pledges. that's all he has going for him. his healthcare plan is a cop-out...i'd be happier with him than edwards or any republican, so i'll vote for him in the generals if i have to. but i, for one, would prefer his smarter, savvier, more ballsy opponent.
