Obama osmosis on the campaign trail...

[mckeown1128]

I call it "Obama osmosis." Webster's New World Dictionary defines osmosis as "an apparently effortless absorption of ideas, feelings and attitudes."

Here's where the osmosis kicks in: His poll numbers are slowly and ineluctably rising. The white voters of America are waking up to a cup of coffee and Obama on ''Good Morning America'' and ''Meet The Press,'' and saying nighty-night on "Nightline" and ''The Tonight Show.''

The old expression "familiarity breeds contempt" is being turned on its head. The notion is being replaced by its antithesis: Familiarity breeds comfort. White voters are getting comfy with Obama because they are not seeing him as a black man or a black political leader, but as a political leader, period. Not only that, but an interesting alternative to the so-called career politician.

2. Obama was my first choice, but ....

Obama is positive fresh air. He has a future and may someday be President, but he could not win in 2008.

Obama was my first choice but now I support Hillary. I recognize in her a high level of experience, insight, and resolve, which is simply not available in the other candidates. Hillary has more testosterone than her male counterparts.

Obama is a good choice for Vice President. A Hillary-Obama ticket is our best hope.

4. I just can't trust the experience and insight

of someone who admits she was fooled by George Bush.

8. Welcome! Though I disagree. What we need is a Hilary OR Obama ticket perhaps?

And, I'm not very confident on the name "Hillary" on any ticket personally.
