Barracking for Obama University of Virginia The Cavalier Daily Obamam would give the Democrats the best chance to win back the White House. ..... Obama has repeatedly shown a knack for compromise. During that 2004 speech, Obama spoke of striving for purple, rather than Democratic blue and Republican red. In the Illinois State Senate, he was praised for working with both Democrats and Republicans. He has already shown great poise in the U.S. Senate, drawing encouragement from peers to run in 2008. The British journal New Statesman listed Obama as one of 10 people who could change the world. ....... In evaluating the 2008 Democratic candidates, we see that Obama would quickly rise to the top of the list. ...... While Clinton has great name recognition, I strongly believe she does not represent the Democrats' best chance of victory. ...... First and foremost, she is a woman. ..... Second, Clinton is a polarizing candidate. .... The loud ovations he has received across the nation (even in more conservative states such as President Bush's home state, Texas ..... In 10 years, there is no way to know how strong support will be for Obama to make a presidential run. Right now, in 2006, Obama has more than enough support to make a presidential run. ..... asking 1,900 voters about their opinion of national leaders from a 0-100 score. Obama received a mean score of 59.9, the second highest rating overall (only Rudy Giuliani scored higher). Clinton, on the other hand, received a mean score of 50.4, well below Obama and potential opponent McCain who received a mean score of 59.7. ....... Barack Obama represents an incredible hope for both Democrats and the nation.
