Jeff LichtmanDan, the comment about the background is just one thing; the fact is there are many, many things that trouble the typical voter about Obama. Had Obama selected Hilary as his running mate, do you even think the Dems would be in the position they are in right now? Course not. As for attack ads, Obama's campaign runs them all the time so it's hardly a Republican thing (even if they did invent it). As for the polls, they are sliding all in McCain's favor right now. Apparently Obama is only 5 points up in NY now, which is incredible.
Keep in mind as I said above I'm a lifelong Dem who has never voted Republican in any election in my life -- until now. I liked Obama a lot at the beginning because I believed he really might be the type of politician to change Washington for the better. But then the lies about Reverend Wright started me thinking...and the more I looked at him the more I believed he was just a slick marketing plan.
