Those who oppose Hillary want this thing over with quick. Our family has a personal policy that goes like this " Anyone who tells us that something has to happen right now, save a real threat to personal safety, should be put off, because it usually means that they know they only have one shot to make a sale and if one has time to think about it, it is unlikely it's going to happen." Obama really does only have one shot and a real critical look at the whole picture is really not in his favor. It is in his own interest and those that are emotionally involved in "the movement" to get this over with before the American people can get real handle on the stakes. Although movements are quite valid and important to move political leaders transforming their ideas and policies, movements are not best served by the politics of government and neither is political office compatible with movements. Once the winner steps into that office, that all goes away and the President must serve the whole country. Middle America gets this and expects this. That's why Hillary is steadily gaining in a Campaign that realistically began on Super Tuesday. A campaign that also is now more closely relevant to the one that will start sooner than anyone had imagined.

I will say that I believe Obama is smart enough and well-centered enough to rise above the black liberation movement represented by Reverend Wright, and he will probably be a good president and represent the whole country. Further, I believe Obama's unique perspective makes him the best qualified to deal with many of today's world problems. But I suspect that voter's innate fear of anything new will make it difficult for Obama to win the election.
