Maybe these are very same determinations we need to be backing away from as they have not always proven to be helpful to us in the past.
Think about Ross Perot. He was not "proven" as anything but a squirrely little billionaire nor was he affiliated with one of the two major parties. Yet he managed to capture the imagination of quite a few Americans.
Obama is fresh, thoughtful, charismatic and
clean. And he cuts a fine line in a nicely tailored suit, too.
I think he would make an excellent candidate, if not for the CIC, then most certainly as VP on a ticket with one of our more experienced candidates. I think he's a force to reckoned with that could have the GOP's knees a-knockin' quite a bit.
