Obama's a fresh face, but will it be enough?
Reid Wilson, RCP "Obama Still Fresh Face to Many Iowans":
Promises to eliminate the differences between red states and blue states, pledges to change business in Washington as usual and an optimistic streak second to none can make Iowa voters pay attention. But for many, nothing short of detailed policy proposals will seal the deal.
Those proposals are a hole which Obama has yet to fill for some. "He says he has a plan. Well, what's the plan? Tell us about it," urged Jean Clark, a retired teacher from Burlington who has not yet chosen a candidate. "I wish Obama was stronger."
Messrs. Edwards and Obama both run even against Mr. Giuliani, too, matching Mrs. Clinton's standing even though they aren't as well known as she is. But Mr. Obama would enter a general election with serious vulnerabilities of his own, since just 30% of Americans rate him positively on having enough experience for the presidency and just 29% rate him positively on "being a good commander in chief."Obama's still a freshman Senator, still running on his aura.
