Yes, I think he has a chance, for the reasons RSR cites: if Obama becomes very, very unattractive to most of America. We've been badly burned by Bush and won't want someone who looks to be a weirdo.
- I don't think the age thing is a problem. America is aging, and we aren't likely to reject him for our own prime characteristic. Older is better, right?
- The Iraq war really is a problem, however. And he isn't able to back off the position: yesterday he was saying he'd let the fighting go on AT LEAST 4 more years!!!!!! Wildly unattractive.
- Bob Barr is indeed a problem. Most people voting for him will be Republicans, I would suppose.
- The furor of the Democratic primary race is because this is the REAL race --------- whoever wins will be president, they think, and they may well be right, IMO.
