TID readers want Obama to run

The recent Inside Dope Poll asked the compound question, "Will Sen. Barack Obama run for president in 2008, and should he?"

As to whether Obama actually WILL run in 2008, 63% of voters feel that he will, 38% think he won't.

As to whether Obama SHOULD run in '08, 66% felt he should run in 2008, 35% feel that he shouldn't for one reason or another.

SHOULD run edged out WILL run 66 to 63



A total of 32 votes were cast and the results are:

  • Obama will run and should run in 2008 - 15 votes or 47%

  • Obama will run, but shouldn't in 2008 - 5 votes or 16%

  • Obama will not, but should run in 2008 - 6 votes or 19%

  • Obama won't, and shouldn't, run in 2008 - 6 votes or 19%


And for the person who always writes in to tell me that these polls aren't a 100% accurate scientific poll that reflects public opinion accurately, save your breath. Anyone with a few sparking brain cells can figure that out themselves.

I believe that it is a foregone conclusion that Obama will run. The question that remains is whether someone with little substance in his political career can win.

Whether you are a fan or not, a reasonable and objective person must agree that little the man has done would, even in the loosest manner, would qualify him to be the leader of the US (Carter, Reagan, Clinton and Bush II were at least Govenors).

In my opinion, far too little is known of who he really is and whether or not he could ever handle the job.

Yes, he is smooth and polished, but other than that, does he have a qualification?

He will run - and he may very likely win, showing that politics anymore is nothing more than PR and managing sound-bites.
