Obama faces a major uphill climb as far as I can tell. He also, to me anyway, comes off as not ready for prime time. If he goes up against Romney, Giuliani, or Huckabee he'll have issues in the main event. An article from today's Washington Post said this:----------------In an August poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, 45 percent of respondents said they would be less likely to vote for a candidate for any office who is Muslim, compared with 25 percent who said that about a Mormon candidate and with 16 percent who said the same for someone who is an evangelical Christian. Despite his denials, rumors and e-mails circulating on the Internet continue to allege that Obama (D-Ill.) is a Muslim, a "Muslim plant" in a conspiracy against America, and that, if elected president, he would take the oath of office using a Koran, rather than a Bible, as did Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), the only Muslim in Congress, when he was sworn in earlier this year.
Full Article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/28/AR2007112802757.html---------------It's all rubbish but so was all the Swiftboat crap thrown at Kerry and that sunk him. I like Obama but being realistic...he can't win...not just because of that stuff but all the other cards that will be played against him as well.
