well the good news for obama is that bobby rush isnt running for the democrat presidential nomination.
And Deval Patrick was "too liberal" to win the governor's race in Massachusetts.
that was my opinion.
to say that obama received a beat down from that little piss ant bobby rush is fact.
Dude, that was in a congressional primary and Rush was the incumbent. Do you realize how difficult it is to defeat an incumbent congressman in a primary? It only rarely happens; and even then, only when the incumbent has some egregious flaws.
In reality, Obama was the "little piss-ant" back then, being a state senator nobody had really heard of.
I agree with Dazzleman. He's doing this to build his stature among Iowa and New Hampshire voters or possibly a spot at the bottom of the Democratic ticket. As long as Obama doesn't do something stupid during the campaign, I fail to see what he has to lose by doing this.
