You people really think a Black man with a middle name Hussein will get elected? Sure it's all good and dandy now, but come election day, those things are gonna hurt him (not that they should have ANY bearing on an election - but we're talking about a country where a good third probably couldn't name 5 candidates with the names pronounced right. I've heard "McBain" "Hucklebee" "Huckleberry" "Gooliani") - he just won't win.
You sound like my father.
He does have a point, though.
I actually see Obama doing better as the campaigning rolls on. Look at Iowa, he has massive leads there. It seems he has higher support in states where he campaigns and shows his face.
