Barack Obama's quiet rebellion
He is blazing a campaign trail away from conventional politics. But can he redeem the hopes that so many have placed in his historic candidacy?
By Walter Shapiro [2007-05-30]

  • Wow

    For once I actually agree with RealName. Is the moon still in the sky? I am looking out my window for a patrol of pigs flying down Seventh Avenue.

    Seriously, though...I agree with you guys on a lot of these issues, but let's be honest: he's going to have a hard enough time being elected as is without paying lip service to AIPAC, big business, and people more terrified about "new taxes" than about having to pay for a serious disease without health insurance. I'd love to see Kucinich in office just as much as the next moonbat liberal, but Obama's by far the best chance progressives have for '08, and, while I realize this isn't saying much, he represents our ideals much more honestly and consistently than Clinton or Edwards. I'd vote for him, if voting in New York State meant anything.
