what a choice Obama has.....run now with only a couple years of public experience, and at a fairly young age- but with a groundswell of support, or wait (probably) 10 years till whoever wins in '08 finishes.....with no idea what the political climate will be by then.

I'd 'prefer' to see him wait, but maybe THIS is "when the iron is hot".
*IF* he runs, I hope the Democrats make the race congenial and help each other, no matter who gets the nomination. Too much to hope for?
