This kind of goes with my lines of hopeful thinking. He says that the only reason people are picking BO is he's the 'popular' guy. Makes sense, 'cause Oprah told me so'. And, yes, hun, he IS out of touch with his 1.6 million dollar income.

That may be the case with some people. But your dentist is either really ignorant or has been sniffing something in his office if he really thinks that the
only reason people are picking Obama is because he's "the popular guy" or because "Oprah told them to."
Some people are going with Obama because they sincerely believe, after
{gasp} thinking about it, that he is the better choice. Some people, believe it or not, don't trust McCain any more than you trust Obama. Some people think that picking Sarah Palin to be a heartbeat away from the presidency demonstrated that McCain's judgment is sorely lacking. Some people disagree with McCain's approach to foreign policy in general and the Iraq War in particular. People support Obama and McCain for all kinds of reasons -- in both cases, some good, some bad.
And I've got to tell you -- I've had more than one conversation with Republicans who voted for Bush both times and who are not only supporting Obama but
very turned off by McCain. And to a person, the economy is the reason.
