According to MSNBC.Com, Barack Obama seems more likely than McCain to win the general election! Whooo hoooo! Obama is an eloquent speaker who is great at rallying the passion and emotion that this nation needs to soar into greatness. His passion, sincerity and perseverance has been an inspiration to many and will go down in history. However, this is not to say that Obama does not have drawbacks. He shows signs of vulnerablilty where experience and preparedness is concerned. After 40 Democratic primaries and caucuses, capped by a winning streak in 11 contests over the last two weeks, Mr. Obama has made substantial gains across most major demographic groups in the Democratic Party, including men and women, liberals and moderates, higher- and lower-income voters, and those with and without college degrees.

But there are signs of vulnerability for Mr. Obama in this national poll: While he has a strong lead among Democratic voters on his ability to unite and inspire the country, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is still viewed by more Democrats as better prepared for the job of president. And while he has made progress among women, he still faces a striking gender gap: Mr. Obama is backed by two-thirds of the Democratic men and 45 percent of the women. White women remain a Clinton stronghold. As we speak, I'm holding onto my seat, because every passing day is a new saga in this political drama... It's great to be alive!!!
