That doesn't really sound any better to me. I'll be voting for John McCain- and it certainly isn't because I'm clinging to my social issues.
First, no republican likes what Hillary or Obama are saying about healthcare, jobs, etc. That's why there are two parties that are completely different. Republicans and Democrats pursue things differently.

Johnstown, PA, which I referenced in my earlier post, is probably 80% Democrat.
It's not about "sounding better" - Obama is just stating the way things are, and the mindspace a lot of voters are actually in, and no one else has the balls to do so.
