Enthusiasm vs. Indifference

The second biggest problem John McCain has, after money (compare a Porsche to a Kia), is the enthusiasm of Republicans vs. Democrats in this election.  

Nobody is excited about John McCain.  It's not hard to figure out why.  

• Despite being a POW, he has a horrible record on veterans issues.  
  
• One of his closest advisors said that "Hitler was doing God's work."  
  
• Old people are just not that excitable or exciting.
  
• He's not much of a family values candidate.
  
• Mitt Romney won't help either if he's VP, lest we forget that Romney lost to McCain, and he's a mormon.  
  

So, now that we've outlined the reasons, let's look at the results.  13% of conservatives are happy with John McCain, compared to 50%+ of liberals being happy with Obama.

Even if McCain did have the money, he doesn't have the enthusiasm to get people to go out there knocking on doors.  Today I knocked on 75 doors and got a bunch of people excited about voting for Obama.  While I sit here with my aching feet, I know that we are that much closer to our 13 electoral votes going for the good guy.
