Barrack Obama is all about style not substance, he is a brilliant speaker with wonderful rethoric, he is young, popular, loved by the media. But even with all that media attention and iconic image, people start to see what matters, and policies should matter most.
Obama stands for very left wing (extreme in American circumstances) policies: Tax increase, reversing Bush's cuts, anti free trade policies etc. Also that left wing approach would mean USA's going towards isolationism: withdrawal from iraq (will prove disastrous for this country, and would hurt prestige even further), allowing Russia to grow stronger and stronger, and going against anti missle programme.
Another thing is that sen. Obama from the start was presenting himself as an outsider, self made man, that's different. But he is just like those before him, he uses negative campaign, he is not as clean as he describes himself eg. Rezko, ACORN. (Im not saying McCain is better in that area.)
Some people are starting to judging candidates not by their look, appearance and popularity but by their policies and they making a choice. They dont want to vote for a socialist.
