The Obama Bargain - Shelby Steele

Steele's argument makes sense. However, we must be careful not to mistake what makes sense for what is in fact the underlying truth in this case. Perhaps there is no single fact or truth that would account for Obama's rise.

Imagine a very junior Senator, less than one full term under his belt, having never served in the military nor any federal position, a law school graduate, community involvement, and then ran for president.

Would that person be thisclose to being nominated for the highest office in this country (by a major political party), and the single most powerful office in the world.
