I was unsure of him and honestly I still am, but I am more unsure of the other candidates. That is not to say that I think Obama is a best/worst case scenario, just that you never really know what the candidates will honestly do in realtime. This part of the political process is nothing more than calculation, soundbytes, photo ops and positioning. Obama has done very well with all of these facets of the nomination process and this speech could be just another well-played aspect of that, but for some reason I sense that he is more "real" than the other candidates and that's why I like him. I also believe that even if he is horrible as President, he can't be worse than we've already had (we're at the bottom now - and I voted for him - Twice!) I also believe that no matter how good or bad a president he is, the one redeeming value of having him as president will that we will improve our overall world position possibly garnering more support from countries that just about hate us now. Lastly, I predict a landslide victory not just in the nomination but in the general election. I seriously doubt the projections being generated by CNN, Fox, et all. I think this is going to be one of the biggest victory margins in quite some time. Because I believe that most of America is ready for a change -- a big, visible, noted, change. Good or bad, America wants this change and they are going to pick the candidate that appears to give them that change. There you have it, in writing no less... I predict Obama by a landslide.
