Democrats just can't figure it out...

Democrats can't understand why Obama is not doing better in the polls. Susan Estrich, at RealClearPolitics, says:

"So how can Newsweek have the race at a dead heat? How come, even in the polls where Obama is leading, his lead is in single digits? Is it that people still don't know enough about him? No candidate in my lifetime has ever gotten better press coverage, more adoration from the media. Being attacked by Jesse Jackson is a gift of major proportions. Maybe it just hasn't showed up yet in the numbers. Maybe race is a bigger factor than people want to admit. Maybe people just need to be convinced on the experience front. But whatever it is, Democrats should take note. It should be a Democratic year, but that is no guarantee that it will be one."

For her, press coverage and media adoration are important. However, it is his policies that are what are driving many people away. She, like so many Democrats, do not see that. She can only think of racism as a reason not to vote for him. As Shakespeare said, "The lady doth protesteth too much."

The truth is, wealth re-distribution and huge new government expenditures to the tune of $800 billion will cause tax increases no matter what Obama says and people know that. Therefore, they do not trust him. So it is his liberal, big-spending desire to increase the number of people dependent on the government that is the issue for most people. We shall see on election day what the people choose. But to call anyone who votes against Obama a racist is simply failing to see the true reasons.
