I think the presidency of George W. Bush has changed everything this time around.
Normally i'm all over experience, policy opinions, legislation, tax policy, etc. etc. But I'll be damned if leadership, respectability, intelligence, and good old fashioned charisma....aren't driving my decisions this time around. I think Obama might just be the right person at the right time. If this were 2000, or even 2004, I don't think he has a chance. In 2012, he probably wouldn't have a chance.....but in 2008, I think a weary public just wants....just wants to BELIEVE in America again. He's got the right message and the right delivery at the right time. I mean, everytime I hear him speak, i have this guilty suspicion that i'm getting suckered...but I just don't care. I dunno, weird, weird election cycle this year.
