"There's something about him..." "I can't put my finger on it." "Something's off...

but I don't know what." "There's something that 's not right."

There's something weird about the fact that so many people have posted one or more versions of the above.

I was for Edwards, but I would be happy with either Barack or Hillary as our candidate now.
There were good points about every candidate, and bad points as well - but at least I could name them.
Either I felt that someone was not honest or transparent enough, was not experienced enough, was too angry about
the right things or too zealous about the wrong things. Didn't have a good health plan, wasn't anti-war enough for
my money.

But I don't understand the amorphous criticisms that seem only to be directed at Obama.
I've never seen anyone write that they don't like Hillary but 'can't put their finger on' why.
Or that they wouldn't vote for Edwards because "there's something about him that's just 'off.'"

Nor do I mean to imply that anyone who makes the forementioned claims is racist.

However, to what do you attribute the fact that so many people are expressing these shapeless non-specific demurrals now?
It gives me a queasy feeling.
Why does it both me?
I dunno, not sure. Can't put my finger on it.
