I must admit the lack of experience on the part of Obama was the casting die in determining my endorsement Democratic and, indeed, presidential endorsement. In all honesty, however, it's difficult to conceive either Clinton or Obama, one of whom will be the 2008 Democratic nominee, as being as woeful a president George W Bush has been.
My ultimate concern with Obama boils down to this. Should he win the Democratic nomination and go on to win the presidency, it will, in no small part, boil down to high expectations. And should Obama fail to deliver on these expectations, then he could fall as quickly as he rose 4 years down the line
I understand where you're coming from, but you're assuming Hillary would win this first election
She definitely has a strong chance, yes, but with conservatives so strong in their hatred for her, they would show up to the voting booth in droves. This would also heavily affect lower-ballot races, especially in more conservative areas. I would not be suprised at all if Hillary causes many moderate and swing-state Democrats to lose reelection.
