What is interesting about Obama and his recent visits to the Tonight Show and NH is that many politicos are saying that if he doesn't run now, he may ruin his chances in the future.
Sen. Mike Gravell from Alaska has also thrown his hat in the ring, as has Dennis Kucinich of Ohio. Al Gore is testing the waters again (unofficially); this could be a bloodbath long before the general election.

I would tend to agree, this is a case of "too much, too soon". He's wise to test the waters, but he'd have to pull off a miracle or too to win. Obama is riding a wave, and it either come to shore in 2008 or crashes out to sea.

My own pet peeve is how the primaries are spread out over 5-6 months. I'd like to see 5-7 Super Tuesdays prior to New Hampshire "leading the nation".
