What are your thoughts on the emergence of Obama?

Senator Obama is not only attractive and energetic, but he's very positive. He leaves people with a sense of hope. He's a powerful, charismatic personality. Having said that, he's got the most liberal voting record in the United States Senate. And there's so little in the news media about his policy positions. That'll change between now and November. One thing about this election that the press overlooks is that there are going to be more voters in play. You're going to have many independents who either haven't decided who they will vote for or who will change their minds between now and November. And unlike the 2000 and 2004 elections, this time you're going to have a lot of self-identified Republicans and Democrats who are going to consider voting for the other side. It's going be an election about persuasion.
