I think that Barack Obama has a really good chance of be elected in November. Everyone I know likes him and most want to vote for him. The Republicans aren’t doing very good in the race for president as I have read, so this only helps what I think. John Edwards is falling behind, so Barack’s only true competition is Hillary Clinton. Most people I know do not like her. Barack Obama is a very smart person, and from what I’ve watched and read about him, he seems like the best candidate.
