I'll give you a quick little hint...
People don't care about the details... Hillary is not going to win a campaign based on the fact that some minute part of her health care plan is slightly different that Barack's. People don't look at the fine points because they don't have time to. They want grand ideas. They want to believe in the candidate. They hear Obama say "Yes, we can!" and they believe that we can. They hear Obama talk about having hope and they feel it.
Are they stupid? Of course not. They've just spent the last 7 years feeling misguided and they want to believe in something/someone again.
Your criticisms of his campaign come off as nothing more than whining... "Why don't they feel that way towards Hillary???" Sorry for your luck.
Slainte,
Rob Harrington

You have made my point for me! Neither one of you has offered any
tangible critique of my post, you both just resorted to dismissive
insults. That is the problem with the Obama campaign, you lack
details and facts because it's more fun to talk about "hope"
and "change".
