Reply #11: Why isn't Obama a contender? [View All]

[mikelewis]

I know he's green but even green, he's still more intelligent and more dignified than any Repub candidate. He's level-headed and engages the people regularly. He also doesn't have a history that they can attack with any credibility. I'd trust his decisions and believe he would do what his conscience told him to do; rather than some crooked lobbyists. I would prefer a Gore campaign hands down but idealistically speaking, I would like to see Obama consider running. I think I trust him more than the other candidates (except Boxer, but she won't run).
