  What about Obama getting shot by a nut job/ or an some kind of white extremist?

  How is he being protected?

  I had a long conversation with several black guys (i'm white) at a an x-mas party and they all were thinking the same thing, "Obama wont win and if he does he'll get shot"

  what's scary to me is the possibility that Iowa - not much diversity in terms of THINKING - might swing this election: Obama IS very electable; is that part of the problem? When I heard his comments after Benazir Bhutto was killed, he flubbed it -= he had very little of substance to say. My fear is that he's a populist with not too much substance there - most especially in understanding of the intricacies of foreign policy. His appeal as a speaker about change and unification are vapid; I'm waiting for the substance. I'm staying with Hillary. I hope we hear more from him & Hillary than just rhetoric when this thing heats up. We will need substance to pull us out of the morass that Bush & Co. sank us into.

  Election buzz-words I'm quickly growing tired of:

  Fresh

  Experienced

  Terror

  And wouldn't that make a great campaign slogan?

  "[ ] in 2008. Fresh. Experienced. Terror."

  Thanks Rachel, maybe I'm just being a master of the obvious but, I havent heard it being addressed even in the wake of Bhutto demise.
