I personally can't stand Hillary-- I really don't see her as being electable for president- especially not in some areas of the country.

Barack Obama is a rising star, but I'd say 2012 -- he's still new - he did great at the convention - but this is his first time in the national spotlight, he needs time to develop and grow, and get on some really choice committees.

As for him being black? Eh - I don't think it would be an issue, he's Harvard educated, which would appeal to the Yankee contingent - and has his roots in the midwest... I think it'd be a huge mistake for anyone to play the race card --either for or against him... I'd like to see what he could do against a more worthy opponent - -I think Keyes was a real sacraficial lamb --
