Obama an Electable Liberal?

Is Obama more electable than Hillary? Peter Brown, RCP:
Clearly, Obama has that opportunity. In those same Quinnipiac polls in which Sen. Clinton leads him substantially among Democrats, his more than 2.5-1 favorable/unfavorable ratio among the overall electorate is much better than hers.

That's because independents view him favorably by a 50-12 margin. Yet, more than a third of voters do not know enough about him to have an opinion.

The question is how that third of the electorate and many who have a hazy view of Obama will feel as his views and values become better known.

As Brown points out, Barack's a liberal. I would add he is slightly to the right of Dennis Kucinich, only better spoken and better looking. The last time we elected a president no one knew much about we got Jimmy Carter, the closest thing to a French surrender monkey that has ever "led" this country.

UPDATE: Salon on Michelle Obama's sacrifice, blah, blah. They decided to have children. That should change your life. Someone needs to be around for them. End of story.
