Obama can not compete on the emotional hot button level. Obama is not going to win the hearts and minds of the undecided. Oh, I disagree here. He's not pushing wedge issues - which IMO is deliberate. Those are divisive - sure, you'll get the partisans out, but repel the rest. But the man almost embodies the American Dream, surely: if he can work his way up, so can anyone. That's a pretty powerful emotional issue. Plus he's a fine orator and charismatic speaker, he seems to connect very well with an audience, and he has a powerfully positive style. Or do you just mean, if he hasn't won these people over yet, he probably won't? I think the same could be said of McCain, who's had rather longer to do so...
