First, he is starting to show hints of an aging mind in the examples that francois listed. Age is going to be a major hurdle for his candidacy.


It's not age, it's failure to do his homework. He was like this in 2000 as well, but got much better later in the campaign. I think that after the convention, when it really matters, he'll be on.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama is such a popular figure that he is drawing record numbers of young people and blacks into the voting booth

The love for Obama is not based on policy, but a personality cult. Once Americans realize he is going to raise their taxes he'll find out what every Democrat who has run promising to raise taxes found out.

Not surprising, everyone knows of the dirty politics the rightwingers use.

Right now, it's the DNC that's the most negative. McCain has actually held back and/or condemned his followers. Obama hasn't.
