What do you think of Barack Obama’s new status as one of the Democratic frontrunners?
It feels like it’s too good to be true. It’s been a long time coming. Phillip

Historically, the frontrunner is not necessarily the one who wins, which isn’t to say he can’t win. He can.

It’s a good thing. We could have a black president.

I’m kind of afraid for him. A black man has never made it this far. At the same time, I’m very happy for him.

I think it’s going to be solidified after New Hampshire. It appears to me he’s even beyond what’s forecast in the media. I feel good about this because the country is ready for change. I have confidence he’ll do well.

I think it’s very good. You wonder if it’s hype, though. I’m not sure America is ready for a black president.
