It’s a call I’m hearing a lot, but I really hope Obama doesn’t throw his hat in for ’08. I suspect that his inexperience would be too easy for the republicans to use against him. He’ll be a great presidential candidate, but I’d want to give him till 2012 or maybe even 2016 so that he can leverage not only all the attributes and skills he already has, but a few years of honing and a few years of sterling senatorial performance.
