Those that make it past that will not allow him in because of his inexperience.
I'd love to believe that, unfortunately I think that there are a lot of sheeple that will follow the silver tongued devil. The fact that he has little experience in relationship to the issues won't matter much because there'll be a lot of folks that don't relate to the issues either. By that I mean that I think he'll draw out the young vote more than it's ever been drawn out before with his chant of "Change, change, change". He hasn't got a freaking clue as to what he's going to change or how he's going to change it, but he'll sell the rhetoric. It's certainly not my intention to insult the young voters on this board, after all, you're a cut above
well, when it comes to the debates between Obama and Romney ( a man of many hats Obama cannot even begin to compete with in the business world OR the govt) .. or Obama and McCain, McCain just flat has more time in the job and will smoke the kid.
Obama will surely be attractive to the younger set.. but the biggest block of voters in the country is retired, not the young, although the young people are concerned about the war. The problem is, they just dont vote in big enough numbers to matter yet.
Experience and trustworthiness typically win out.. especially during times of war. Nobody is going to feel comfortable giving a war to a kid my age. Obama has lots of time to be president, and he may yet be one day. So unless he pulls some major rabbit out of his hat to impress upon this country that he can drive this war in the right direction (and so far he has said everything wrong about iraq and iran) I just dont honestly believe he can win against the GOP.
Hilary has all those same issues as well; putting a woman in charge during wartime may be too hard for some people to imagine.
