Why Obama Could be the Best Democratic Hope for 2008

Baby boomer politicians have been at each other since the 60s. Barack Obama is 45. During the Montgomery bus boycott, the community of black ministers, all of whom had been part of the community for years, couldn't decide who would be their voice during this time. They decided that the young minister, Martin Luther King, Jr., had little baggage and his very freshness, his sense of a clean slate, is what made him best suited to be the voice for their progressive cause.

The same goes for Senator Obama.
