I think that's a very safe assumption, Dan. There's a buzz about him that Clinton, and any Republican for that matter, just can't match. He's even getting audiences of 15000 in places like Idaho and Colorado.
Shame he'll be another Tony Blair, who by promising so much ended up making so many people so cynical about politics. I fear the millions of people who have an almost spiritual devotion to Obama's "change" movement will find much of the hope invested in him dashed when he enters the White House and the grand rhetoric has to meet with hard realities.
How will he commit to Kyoto without the Senate's assent? Will he really risk the consequences of setting a timetable form withdrawing from Iraq? ....
