Proof is in the white glove treatment O gets with the same, or worse, policies) but even if it wasn't, I don't think he'll excite enough people to get the vote. I don't think he's necessarily great at anything, including leadership. If we hadn't gone through the Democrat mess with the housing market, economic collapse, and all the foreign and domestic policy blunders since, he might have done just fine. Right now we're in a hole that we need to get out of and I'll be pushing the button for someone who can get us out.
With that said, if it's his name at the top of the ticket, I'm volunteering every second I have to get him in. My liberal friends who supported Hillary got amnesia when O won and forgot all of the nasty things they said about him. My conservative friends? They didn't vote because of McCain's voting record and policies. I'm happy that they have great principles, up to the point that people like that guarantee a loss.
I actually voted for Hillary in the democratic primary. I figured McCain had a better shot against her than Obama.
