Never.


The context was always people who are insisting that he is as a matter of fact bordering on obsession.


Now as for Obama. I am realistic about his opporunity and I honestly think that he lays appropriate title to Martin's Dream.. I think soutern whites sense that instinctively...perhaps more than souther blacks. For On=bame to win he has to flip some southern white who are utterly dienchanted with the republicans and see him as somebody they can respect and is not beholder to narrower interest. He does not have to win a southern states but if he can close the 10% gap to 3% and the republican nominee is a moderate rather than a rightwinger he has a chance.


I think Obamaa is the closest thing to RFK this country has seen in many many years. But it is going to be a brave new balancing acing for him to hold the Democratic coalition together. He has tremendous political instincts and intellect and I think he provides inhis candidacy the meants by which the racial divid in this country can be substantially over come.


But I emphasize can as oppose to "will" Ig hillary pulls out winin iowa.. I susepect the backlash goes strongly to him.. If Edwards win. I think he winds up as VP. WHich I am fine with as well.
