I'm really happy Obama made the first steps into becoming a true political heavyweight.
However.
To be honest, he does not have enough experience.
He didn't two years ago when he shook the states with his speeches, he didn't three years ago when he was a lawyer.
The ticket to win it, is Edwards/Obama.
Edwards is in tune with what is needed, Barack is in tune with what is needed.
Democrats pick your battles.
Don't everyone rush to have Obama be something he will be, right now. America, is great, and America is not ready.
There are already factions in the Democratic Party who refuse to acknowledge him as an African-American... they want him to be recognized as an African-African-American, because he didn't 'live' the experience.
Now, that's another argument, however, this is what we are dealing with.
Let the public get 4/8 years of impeccable performance at the highest stage.
It will happen.
Edwards has what it takes, and it's just not the South.
I was a big Wesley Clark fan before it became apparent he had no idea how to talk in front of a camera.
Edwards is it. He has 2 years to ruin himself from me, but he is our best ticket.
And I mean that with all respect, haha.
It's just a fact, and when you think about it ... a good fact. That John Edwards would be a great leader.
I just really hope people don't get caught up in the 'woman'/'black' aspect of this, and really look at the best candidate.
