I believe the majority of US citizens, and even most Democrats, are not ready to put into office a president who is not 100% white. Obama needs to take extreme care choosing his running mate to appeal to those who did not vote for him, and it should NOT be HRC.

Is Obama conservative? moderate? progressive? Who knows?? He makes great speeches, but there's no telling what he would actually do if elected.

John McCain must be prevented from winning the White House. After all, he, not W, was the original choice of those dangerous neocon nut cases who came up with the Project for the New American Century. IMO, Obama has but a slim chance of achieving this.

Cheers,
Michael
