My Number 3 Choice for Democratic Presidential Candidates: Senator Barak Obama

Barak Obama has been many people's choice for the Presidential nomination seemingly from the word go. Over the past month he has carried himself perfectly as the only African American member of the senate, the events of Hurricane Katrina-particularly the way they shine a light on race and poverty-have fallen very much on him to address. He's done so without resorting to petty complaints and without "selling out." Obama seems duplicious and judging from his eloquent key note address at the DNC convention last year he could address the religious element of the country in a way few Democrats seem prepared to. Also he introfuced Wilco at Farm Aid this year and that is so bad ass.
