There is no way Hillary Clinton would get elected after all the social and political baggage she has collected IMO. She's certainly driven to try (and more power to her) but I don't think she has a good chance.

Obama is the most likely candidate in my estimation, but we'll have to wait till 2012 since he's going to be elected to the Senate this year if my neighbors in Illinois and I have anything to say about it. That's six years to 2010... then another two until the election.

So we got a ways to go, but barring some very popular minority or female governor running in 2008 (someone we can't forsee right now), I think Obama is the guy. We'll see how he performs in the Senate, but I have no qualms whatever about voting for the guy right now. Very bright, has a genuine vision to shake things up a bit, and a very good communicator. That's more than I can say for most politicians.

...into the light of a dark black night.
