I think focusing on the fake reports of his "muslim education" helps him as it takes away from the real issue of his age and inexperience in federal level politics and if the media is more focused on this bogus story, they may not look at the fact that he has been a senator for 2 years and before that involved in State politics for only 7. Eventually most of the public, if they already haven't, will realise that it is BS and those that don't probably wouldn't have voted for the black guy anyways. I'm not saying that you need to be 70 years old and a political lifer, but if I were running against him in the democratic primary thats what I would focus on. Has he done he enough to be prepared for the Presidency?

I think both him and Hilary are much better candidates in 2012 or even 2016 in Obama's case but based on the fact that there is nobody on the Democrats side that is a strong candidate.

The Republicans have two great candidates if it were 2004. Mccain and esepcially Guiliani would have walked with the 2004 election if George W. hadn't been the incumbent. Now it seems like Mccain has been around too long and like a draft prospect people have had too much time to nitpick at him and his "potential and upside" are not nearly as exciting as they once were. I think 9/11 may be too far back and Iraq has tainted some of the goodwill that Guiliani would have ridden in on in the past. Plus he seems to have been invisible the past 3-4 years.
