Not everyone is a political junkie true, but I knew who Obama was in the spring of 2004.

Most likely, they've heard of the name, but their impressions are not as strong.

right as in they might have heard the name but think he's an actor or know he's a politician but not be aware of basic facts about him.

I think Obama is still a weaker candidate than he appears while the reverse is true for Clinton. This does not necessarily mean that Clinton is the stronger GE candidate - Obama probably is. But the difference is not as large as people think, for several reasons.

Besides, Clinton does not have to win the pledged delegates. If she can win big on March 4th she'll get more superdelegates and more momentum for the final states and do better than is currently percieved. If she becomes the frontrunner she can probably get the FL and MI delegates back on. While I consider Obama the clear favourite and frontrunner for the nomination it's not in the bag yet.

Interesting difference between Clinton supporters and Obama supporters.  Clinton supporters seem okay with having their nominee be a candidate who wins maybe 15 states as long as they are the states they need for the election ( OH, PA, TX etc ).

A continuation of the red/blue state philosophy. 

I guess that why I'm an Obama supporter.  I'm fed up with this kind of politics.

I also believe that why Clinton is a weaker candidate than Obama against McCain.  McCain is ( or was before he started satisfying conservatives ) a different republican who should have appeal beyond "red/blue" states.  At least he is the 1 republican candidate with a chance.

In my humble opinion this is why we cannot get anything done in Washington anymore.  Everybody is focused on this limited appeal game (red/blue states ) which provides limited results in Washington after the election. 

I think Obama is different

That is exactly what I meant. They know his name, but know next to nothing about him and have probably not seen/heard him speak yet.
