<<<<That would seem to place issues on the list of Obama's strengths, along with those you have already cited.>>>

It is water over the damn, but whereas Obama has lists of strength he has no real experience in any of these areas. As an example, the economy will be the most important issue going forward but Obama does not yet have a clue as to where he is going. It is pretty much on faith that I(we) have that he will be far more able to muddle along and find solutions than the utterly clueless John McCain.

Let's see, if this was a movie, I guess I will have Will Smith play the Obama Character and take us for a thrilling ride to a happy ending. But, boy oh boy, what a gamble all this is. And to think, the intellectual community put us into this position. You guys are something else.

Obama doesn't poll overwhelmingly above McCain, and there are quite a few issues where he doesn't achieve the overwhelming advantage that you talk about. But he does have a clear advantage in charisma, and any Republican trying to follow Bush is going to have problems considering how unpopular Bush is.
