Barack Obama Wants My Vote

Observe:

I have to say that I did not expect a Reagan analogy, and neither did Ben Smith at Politico, when I stole this. But it makes sense.

Obama has going for him not so much being the man of change, but the unwavering optimist. For those on the right, he is the Democrat that probably scares them the least - Edwards is the class warfare guy, and Hillary's attempt at government-controlled healthcare still frightens those who fear death while waiting in line. Of course, he still believes government is the solution rather than the problem, but hey, he has a positive outlook.
