Well, it's all a question of character isn't it? BO has too much baggage and it's catching up with him. This election is far from a cake-walk for this guy:
"
Obama's radical pals shed light on his cynicism, his ruthlessness, and his tolerance for the obscene."
"Convicted felon Tony Rezko. Unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers. And the race-baiting Rev. Jeremiah Wright. It is hard to think of any presidential candidate before Barack Obama sporting associations with three more execrable characters. Yet let the McCain campaign raise the issue, and the mainstream media begin fulminating about dirty campaigning tinged with racism and McCarthyite guilt by association.
But associations are important. They provide a significant insight into character. They are particularly relevant in relation to a potential president as new, unknown, opaque, and self-contained as Obama. With the economy overshadowing everything, it may be too late politically to be raising this issue. But that does not make it, as conventional wisdom holds, in any way illegitimate."

It ain't over 'till the rotund lady sings and she's not even warming up yet.
