Why are all the Obamabots ignoring the question: where are the majority of votes that are supposed to vote Obama into office going to come from?

The American voter by far includes people who do not read or listen to the news, who look at candidates and decide which one is most suited to help the voters interests and who certainly do not read blogs. And if it wasn't about reflecting themselves, why do you think Palin was chosen. And who exactly is Obama supposed to reflect that will be the majority demographically?

Again, please explain to me exactly why the same voters that rejected Gore, Dean and Kerry are going to vote for Obama.

Again, do remember that in crisis the stressed invariably skew to the familiar. Just what is familiar to anyone on Main Street about Obama?

If you are going to post that Obama is going to win, then do tell how that is supposed to happen.

I am beginning to suspect more and more that for many of those posting this may be the first time they have ever listened to campaign rhetoric and have no basis for comparing Obama's promises over any other previous candidate that has promised exactly the same things.

I am betting that since Adams every candidate has promised change somewhere in the campaign. It's a tenet of campaign rhetoric. Too bad it's the first time you've heard it. How can you be so naive as to place your faith in the veneer of rhetoric?

At the very least post when the last time you were in a small-town happens to be. And be honorable enough through you delusion to tell the truth about it. It's not like it is going to change anything real.

I have long since realized in posting on Slate that letters have ceased to be about information, but for Obamabots its about needing affirmation.

Unfortunately, since I've asked the question dozens and dozens of times where you expect the majority of votes needed for Obama to come from and none of you can answer, it may be time for you to start comiong to terms that you've blown it.

all those people that will not vote for Obama are going to see McCain as being a responsibly elected Senator in prioritizing doing his job over campaigning. And Obama will again merely be seen in going for his own self-interest. As he so consistently has.
