On the news today, I heard a lot of Republicans were voting for Obama. Also, he's getting a lot of younger people who don't normally vote. Obama could be tough for the GOP because they don't have anyone like him running.
Obama is such a powerful speaker, he'll easily sway anyone who isn't very knowledgeable on the issues -- which includes most voters. Look how GWB won last time. "Who would you most like to have a beer with?"
