"..Sen. Obama is a Rorschach test. I see hope! I see brains! I see a whole new kind of politician! I see an amazing life story! I see an orator! I see a natural! I see a hero!.."
This is the best explanation of the Obama effect. Obama is charming and does not have a record, people project what they want.
Also Democrats are hot to get back in the White House and anyone who looks to deliver this will be looked at as a savior, especially NOT a Clinton who has a LOT of enemies.
Rock Star is inappropriate for a President....Hardly what America's founding fathers anticipated.
