Default Handicapping Iowa...

I was surprised but not displeased by Obama's win in Iowa. He's a very
appealing guy, and articulate. My fear is that despite his qualities, in a
general election, whitey isn't going to vote for "the black guy."




I think your age is showing Harry. Things have changed, and for the better.
The young crowd really don't have the remnants of racial prejudices that
many in our generation still harbor.

BTW ... I snipped the rest of your post, but have a request (that you will
probably ignore, but I'll ask anyway).

How about offering positive points for the candidate or party of your choice
rather than the usual, demeaning, insulting and negative comments of those
you don't support? Your influence would be far more credible.

I have no problems with any of the Democratic frontrunners winning the
nomination. I've always liked Mrs. Clinton, I think Obama is aces, and I
think Edwards' heart is in precisely the right place.

I see nothing positive in terms of "potential president" in any of the
Republican candidates, with the exception of John McCain. I'm hoping the
Republicans nominate the Huckster, the Paul, or, best of all, the Fred.
