Once the MSM determines that the honeymoon is over, he will get a lot of tough questions. People will really know what he's all about.

At the end, I predict Obama & Hillary will knock out each other. Another candidate or two will emerge. Hillary will be weakened by her lost of African-American support while Obama will need more than the Black vote.

Let's face it, his base will be the African-American  community. But we all know that it won't be enough. He will no doubt be in the top tier of 3 or 4 candidates.

But his only hope in the primary will be to get enough support from progressive Democrats to take him over the hill.

Even if he tries to play the center, there is no room for him among moderate/conservative democrats. Moderate/Conservative Democrats in the south, Mountain states & midwest would no doubt be more attracted to an Edwards, Bayh or Clark.

Obama's only shot is winning enough blocks of progressives. That's going to be the Million Dillar question for him in 2008.

Can Obama attract enough progressives to put him over the top?
