No. He wasn't even a Senator at the time. The perfect storm that led to his election in fact relies on Kerry being the nominee in 2004 and Kerry's team selecting Obama to be the keynote speaker.

And when i said on the net "Maybe Obama will be the next Democratic frontrunner in 2008" after the election everyone told me that he was to experienced and wouldnt stand a chanse.

Honestly I wouldn't have believed it. I thought Edwards to the next best chance then. After 2006 and reading Audacity of Hope I was pretty certain that he was going to run and could win.

Well he's only 43 years old by Election Day 2004. By early 2003 when he would be considering a run, he's a mere state legislator in Illinois.

Even if the POD is Bobby Rush somehow imploding in the 2000 primary, Obama is still only in the House of Representatives.

A long-term POD is needed.

And that POD in it of itself is enough for a Gore Presidency via butterflies. Had he won New Hampshire (where he was short by 7211 votes, he would have won the presidency.

Maybe Representative Obama makes a name for himself as an opponent of the Iraq War.
 
Well it ain't gonna happen without a POD at least four years prior to 2004. Maybe he could be elected Governor of Illinois or something...

Rush dies in 2000. Obama wins primary to replace him and then wins the primary to become Governor in '02 and wins the general election. Still come early '04 he is still too inexperienced to win in '04
