I think a lot of it has to do with the Republicans getting hijacked by fanatics, be it religious, big business or the Tea Baggers. Compared to the other clowns that ran against him in the primaries, you really can't blame the voters for saying, "Anything but Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, Ron Paul or Newt Gingrich." Now that he's on the national level, all he really can do is parrot what's been stated and repeated for the last 20 years about small government, low taxes (but never stated who the lower taxes is for), hyper military spending and making America the way it used to be.
What's sad is people will vote for him strictly on party or racial lines rather than listen to what either of the candidates have to say.
