2. Any good news is great; but I think this is as Obama has said, more about ideals.

I don't think the election will be primarily about the categories that the media gives us to use, ethnicity, gender, race or sexual orientantion.

I think it will be about Americans deciding what is more important to them:

Their religion, economic status or traditions;

Or their belief in national unity, good governance and respect for individual rights.

Only those who believe in equality no matter who it advantages, doing the right thing being more important than the first three, will vote for the last three.

The GOP is the party running on the first three; Obama is running on the last three.

The reason I divide it that way instead of by the categories the media uses, is there are people in all of those who different on the the choices that I listed. I think this is the only way that Obama can win the election is to focus there.
