brian in my opinion Obama won because he was the alternate choice in the primary to the war hawk Hillary Clinton, the dems tried that startegy in'04 with John kerry and it didn't work , that and that alone got him by Hillary
Then with bush getting killed by the pols , the media , the world , moses could have run as the repbulican choice for president and it wouldn't have mattered - Obama walked like Funny Cide in the preakness after he beat Hillary in the primary
next election may not be so kind as the "bush factor' will be gone and the actual results of the past 4 yrs will be what the voters will look at , they will not listen to only the words
