Voter Unease With Obama Lingers Despite his Lead

Identical to the public state of mind in 1980 prior to Reagan's election. The Carter campaign made the error of believing it was enough to prevent Reagan from winning.


Voter Unease With Obama
Lingers Despite His Lead

Are Advantages for McCain

WASHINGTON -- Midway through the election year, the presidential campaign looks less like a race between two candidates than a referendum on one of them -- Sen. Barack Obama.

With the nominations of both parties effectively settled for more than a month, the key question in the contest isn't over any single issue being debated between the Democrats' Sen. Obama or the Republicans' Sen. John McCain. The focus has turned to the Democratic candidate himself: Can Americans get comfortable with the background and experience level of Sen. Obama?

This dynamic is underscored in a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. The survey's most striking finding: Fully half of all voters say they are focused on what kind of president Sen. Obama would be as they decide how they will vote, while only a quarter say they are focused on what kind of president Sen. McCain would be.

The challenge that presents for Sen. Obama is illustrated by a second question. When voters were asked whether they could identify with the background and values of the two candidates, 58% said they could identify with Sen. McCain on that account, while 47% said the same of Sen. Obama. More than four in 10 said the Democratic contender doesn't have values and a background they can identify with.

Question:

Can Americans get comfortable with the background and experience level of Sen. Obama?

Answer:
No. He's an ultra liberal, junior senator, racist, and he'd ruin or screw up everything he touched.

I know libs love him for this reason. He hates Pres Bush more then the kook left

He's full of talk but no substance. Just like the rest of the democrats that we've had in charge for two years in Congress and all they managed to do was take the approval rating to new lows.

All BS aside, I'm getting less and less worried about this little lop eared racist butt plug getting elected. Because despite the MSM CUMING all over themselves EATING THE CORN OUT OF HIS SHIT, his numbers are still falling.

As stupid as I think people really are, I have to admit, they just might be smart enough to ask themselves, "what in the hell did I ever see in this guy?"
