I think you do give credit to the Dems. Reluctantly but none the less credit is given.
Believe it or not, I too lean toward the conservative side. This does not prevent me from seeing drastic changes are needed in the way the US conducts business both domestically and internationally in today's world. I have nothing against McCain or even some of his policies. As with me, McCain is a product of the cold war and as such his approach to the challenges faced by the country, a world much changed since the wall came down, are obsolete.
Obama though his ability to inspire, bring people together and articulate a positive vision represents the type of leader needed to move the country to a profoundly different way of governing and setting policy. McCain does not.
Will Obama be able to make all the changes needed. Probably not all but if he is successful in only a few it will set the stage for the next President be they Republican or Democrat to continue change in the right direction.
Those who fear change or think the country is just perfect will vote for McCain and try to bring Obama down by stating he will be the ruin of the country.
