He has never been caught and no one knows who he is? He could already be in Congress as we speak. He could be your next door neighbor, your childs teacher, pastor of a church. or he could be an American president some day.
He'd be the democratic nomination for sure, they'd vote for him simply because of his party. They elected White Water criminals like the Clinton's twice didn't they?
Even though this question is erroneous and invalid on its face, because Jack the Ripper is a fictional character because it is a name given to a murderer in England by the press in England and the real murderer has never been found and tried, no he could not be and Senator Obama is more than what you elude to here. Also, it isn't just the left wing media who have his support. DA!
