While I support Obama's race to the White House I'm afraid for him because I believe he's placing himself and his family in danger of getting a "white bullet" if his candidacy grows too strong particularly if prejudice "White America" sees him as a real election threat - a BLACK man leading the WHITE House.
I don't think Obama will be successful in the New Hampshire primaries but his win in Iowa was good. Clinton needed a wake up call to remind her that she is not as unstoppable as she thinks and this election whipping from Obama did the trick.
It was good to see new options in a presidential race, i.e. an African-American (Obama) and a woman (Clinton), instead of the normal lineup of old white men that had become so traditional.
White America, however, will not allow a black man to win over a white man and a white woman to lead in the WHITE House. Obama and Hillary will be defeated and John Edwards will most likely (considering Richardson here) be the candidate to represent the Democratic Presidential hope in November 2008.
It will be interesting to see who Edwards selects as his Vice. If Clinton does, by chance, fall into victory, it would be interesting to see who she selects as her running mate; I don't think Obama will even be considered.
