How in the General Election, Character will Trump Melanin

I have picked up on the fact that many Americans are asking themselves and each other; can Obama win a General Election? Whether the question comes with a doubting sneer from his fervent detractor, or quietly within the minds of his thoughtful supporters, the question is undeniably being pondered from sea to shining sea.

An affirmative answer does not come easily, and is as complex as the question being asked.

In terms of electability, Obama has all of what is needed in a winning candidate. he is popular, youthful and vigorous, has a wonderful telegenic family, a committed sense of optimism and gives the kind of speeches that other politicians can only dream of. His platform is sound, and his consistent theme for change is what a majority of Americans are currently clamoring for. Whether by virtue of his silky booming voice or his superior GOTV organization which is quickly becoming legendary, Obama is a superior candidate in every measurable way. Not sullied from overstaying the Washington mentality, he is the ultimate Hopemonger. His fund raising apparatus and his total campaign strategy will be studied for years to come. In other words, he is the dream candidate that any party would be happy to have as its leader.

His opponent, who's biggest claim to fame is a past era war hero resume is in reality old, grey, physically unfit, and ideologically passe. McCain can barely fill a room with his fraudulent "out of the box trapped in the bigger box" speeches, and is a member of a party hopeless linked to a most unpopular President. Sen. McCain voted for war, and has shown no insight to be proud of in the promotion of peace. His domestic views, when closely examined spell not "Change", but more of the same dismal failures enacted by the current President.

And so one has to get to the truth as to why the initial question about Sen. Obama is asked as often as it is; can Sen. Obama beat Sen. McCain and win the presidency?
