Thread Name: BS: Barack Obama
Subject: RE: BS: Barack Obama
Don't give up on Obama. The Hillary juggernaut can still be stopped.

2 scenarios:

1) Hillary wins in Iowa but not by much. Obama second, Edwards third. Edwards should immediately volunteer to be Obama's VP, and urge his supporters to support Obama. That will make it a real horserace.

2) Obama wins over Hillary, Edwards third. Edwards should do the same thing--and Hillary will be in trouble.

Everybody who hasn't done so yet--the Atlantic article on Obama is truly worth reading, and makes his case vividly.

In a nutshell: Hillary is and always will be burdened by the 60's legacy--and Obama is not.
