Obama is running the most vapid, lighter than air campaign since Clinton's first run where he basically just endlessly repeated the line: "If only we have the courage to change" Sound familiar?
And how many times did we hear about "Presidential Candidate, Bill Clinton. The man from Hope, Arkansas". This can sell in America. Many people are too:
1. Busy
2. Lazy
3. Ignorant
4. dumb
5. politically immature
to pay attention to any of the details regarding what is good or not so good for America. Thus, they don't listen for candidates positions on those issues, or if they do hear them, they sluff them off as just politicians making more promises to do whatever they are promising to do. However, since they don't like politics and politicians as a general rule, they are keen to grab onto buzz phrases such as "change", "hope", "faith", "pride in America once again", etc.
Whether Obama can drive that car to a checkered flag remains to be seen. He does have a lot of "fans" cheering him on. He doesnt' need to stop for gas, as his campaign is working running on fumes alone. He is running up front for now. Can Hillary pass him and win in the nick of time? What about when he goes up against McCain. I see the youth vote causing a major tipping of the pail to Obama, if they come out and actually vote in any numbers.
He's already trying to pacify the gunowning democrats making statements about how he believes in the Second Amendment and all. Does he really? I don't think so. But that may not even be a major issue in this election. The democrats are pretty much leaving gun control alone, and are at least slapping hands by saying they support the Second Amendment. Even Hillary is getting in on the act with her duck hunting story.
