While all you say may be true the typical voter who perhaps voted republican in the last election is overwhelmed by the mismanagement of the Bush administration and the republicans. While much of the current economic debacle can be laid at the foot of Barney Frank and other democrats they have neatly put the blame on the republicans with the unfailing help of the MSM.
If Obama’s dubious associations haven’t gotten people scratching their heads the media’s pile on of Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin won’t do it either. As you pointed out it is mostly the MSM that has lambasted Joe, not Obama. This is one of the clever tactics Obama has used on McCain. He lets the able and all to willing MSM do his dirty work.
While I would like McCain to win I believe you are grasping at straws here. Your logic is fine, the times are different.
