umm...he's going to bring the exact same solutions that Hillary would. Have you even bothered to read their policy positions? Dude, they're almost identical.
It's not 1984 kiddo, it's called politics...these elections tend to revolve around themes (rightly or wrongly), and so far Obama has picked the winning theme.
That is all. There's no kool-aid, no sexism, no Rovian Trickery, just the right theme. Deep down, we're not that complex (I should say the majority of voters aren't complex...the people here are far more politically engaged than the majority...one of the major reasons I spend so much time here I guess ;)
(it's annoying when people don't think like you isn't it? Don't worry, I feel your pain. My horse in the next Canadian election is a brilliant professorial type who writes more passionately and eloquently on Federalism than anyone I've ever come across. Unfortunately he's a bit of a dweeb and speaks nearly incomprehensible Franglais...ergo he's sunk. I'm still gonna vote for him though, and defend him up to and after the election...so I see where you're coming from.)
