Also Obama would be a great candidate.
I actually like Obama, although it's more than a little obvious that the media has a liberal bias, and he is their candidate. The thing is, a majority of the country simply will not vote for a black man with a name that sounds like Osama and also reminds them of a certain Iraqi dictator. I know that sounds shallow, but it's true. The majority of this country will reject him as soon as they learn more about him. Your party would be better off with someone like Edwards, Richardson, Clark, Gore, Bayh, Warner, etc, etc. The fact that the two candidates in the lead right now for the primary (a very controversial female with limited experience who moved to a liberal state just because she knew she'd never get elected in her home state; a black man who'll make every single voter in America think of a guy wearing a turban and flying a plane into the WTC) will end up having some of the worst chances of actually winning in the general election.
And I like Obama. I'm just saying...
