Yesterday Senator Barack Obama filed the initial paperwork to establish his Presidential Exploratory Committee. According to Reuters, the 45-year-old from Illinois will make an official announcement about his candidacy in his hometown of Chicago on February 10. I feel as if Obama is riding on the coattails of the 2006 Democratic victory, and that soon enough Obamamania will come to a screeching end. All of the conservative states that voted Democrat in 2006 did so for moderate candidates, Obama is not a moderate. As well I don't believe the conservatives will look past the fact that he is African American. I think that the Democrats are interested in victory and their two front runners (Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton) will not, in my opinion take hold of the White House in 2008.
