I agree with that. But will their numbers be high enough to make up for the swing voters who won’t vote for Obama? He has a few things going against him, like lack of experience, weird church ties and unfortunately racism is still well and alive in the states.
The Bush supporters are still there, and ready to push McCain through with the same devious miscount of votes that got Bush in twice. That really needs to be watched.
I think in the end it will boil down to whether people are ready to leave Iraq, and I think that’s the issue where democrats have a good chance, regardless of who the democratic candidate is.
I think (i.e. hope) that Obama will pick up more of a following once the real debates begin. It’s one thing to see rehearsed prebuttals and rebuttals, but I think Obama will shine in the improvised, one-on-one debates. He seems to speak from his mind and heart, not from a piece of paper typed up in double-spaced 48-point text.
McCain will continue to spew the usual meaningless garbage we have come to expect from republi-bots, while Obama will calmly inject common sense and rational thinking into the public’s ears and minds. I am hoping that Obama’s refreshing outlook and personality will encourage people to vote democratic this year, although I do concede that my hopes may be a bit high.
