    Rahm Emanuel will keep Congressional leaders in line and help elect Barack Obama the next President of the United States. Democrats will come together and sing verses of Kumbaya as we watch McCain wrap himself in the flag. My only fear is that if Obama should not include Hillary Clinton in his campaign or administration in some capacity, he will face the wrath of some very angry voters in November.

      Why would Boren endorse Obama? He's from a conservative district in a conservative, oil state. It would be political suicide, like the new Congressman from Louisiana will find out in November.

        Rham is facing an uphill battle. His Congressman aren't the problem. He can't round up the anti-Obama Clinton supporters. I use Chicago voters as a barrometer, because you could be a serial killer, and run and win as a Democrat in Chicago. Obama won't carry certain Wards in the city, because he is too inexperienced, and too liberal even for Chicago. In a close race even a 10% drop in Democrat support can cost him the election.

          Don't get your hope up Ani...The primary just ended and feelings have to mend but in the end they will come home.

          Sorry!
