Can Obama “do it?"

Now that the presidential election is almost on its final stretch, all smart eyes are on Barack Obama and many fear that, when all is said and done, McCain could still take the prize from under him. It seems evident that Obama will now have to “re-invent himself” and transition from an “orator” into a true, courageous leader; someone with a clear plan able to handle the severe and multiple wounds our country has received during two catastrophic Bush terms. I’m not suggesting that McCain would even do a better job, but that he could win because Obama’s supporters might quickly get “cold feet” and turn away from him at the last minute. The painful steps of re-definition and re-invention will have to take place and can certainly happen given the intellectual capacities of the candidate “for change,” but it sure promises to be a cliff-hanger and will mean a needed and enormous amount of work to honestly help define what will happen next to our nation…
