JUST A THOUGHT : Could Obama win?

They were moved. They were inspired. For the record, there are a million reasons Obama has been garnering rave reviews everywhere he turns. His presidency would be a change of pace (to say the least ) from the current administration. And yes, he lacks experience. But, as he’s become fond of saying lately, look where all the experience currently residing in Washington has gotten us. Mostly, though, he’s built his campaign on hope. Hope that America can do more, much more, for its citizens than it has in the last six years. Maybe he’s just the best salesman among the current crop of presidential candidates. Still, if you listen to him, you almost can’t help walking away feeling better about the nation’s prospects. He’s that good. In the last generation of American politics, only Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton have received the rock-star treatment Barack Obama has been receiving of late. Which is why I’m wondering if Saturday morning I stumbled upon the next John F. Kennedy — or the next Howard Dean.
