Latest PoD, what's the best way for Obama to not run for President in 2008, and focus instead on his Senate career? To my understanding, the best way is through stopping his book tour for Audacity of Hope in late 2006, so maybe just delaying the publication of that book?
While were at it, how does the Presidential election play out differently? I'd guess Hillary wins the Democratic nominee, but does no Obama mean Edwards is her chief rival? I'm also guessing Obama's senate seat would be one of the Dems to survive 2010, meaning he'd still be a well-respected US Senator today; anyone particularly agree or disagree?
