Yesterday, a group of us went to hear Obama speak in Manchester. It
was a suberb speech, intelligent, inspiring, and logical. It covered
many of his regular themes with his regular speech lines. People were
fired up and ready to go. Yet when we left, I was scratching my
head because despite speeches like this, it seemed like Mccain had
momentum.

Also, I talked to a reporter for a major paper who asked me how
I thought the election was going. I responded by saying when the
american people understand the substantive differences between the
two candidates, I was sure that Barack would win. He responded by
saying that the McCain campaign realized that they had to make
the campaign about personalities and not about the issues.

We have to be honest with ourselves, the Republicans are succeeding
in making this personality contest and diverting attention from the
problems of the day. How they are doing it and how to combat this
more below the fold.
