He can't be the agent of change in the camp of an amoral political operator.
Obama's only 46. He gets the whole enchilada someday soon enough. The only problem is he probably needs to get out of the Senate and shoot for Governor of Illinois in the interim. The longer he stays in the Senate the more risk of tarnishing his outsider image.
If McCain wins the election, he's a one term President and Obama probably wins in 2012.

okay. he plays out this election. then starts running for Governor. Wins in 2010, beating the machine Dem incumbent. Takes office 1/2011, then in May, 2011 announces he'll run against President McCain?
