When Edwards dropped his campaign I drifted into Obama's camp. He is exciting and does promise a brand of hope that we haven't seen for a long time. But I've seen how the Republicans work - they very well might reduce Obama into being our Dukakis, McGovern or Kerry candidate by election day 2008. Obama hasn't been openly seriously vetted. The Democratic Party should be doing this, fast, because he sure will be by September. The conservatives are biding their time, I'm sure/Honest George.
