I think Obama takes the nomination, particularly once Edwards' supporters move to him (as I think at least 80% of his supporters do).
I think you've got Obama blinders on. I don't think grass roots can beat The Machine. Obama has trended upward lately, but I don't think he'll win Florida, nor win the narrative on Super Tuesday.

A good human being he may be, but he's also an empty suit. He needed a few years of seasoning before making this jump.

Spell-binding rhetoric does not necessarily a good President make.
