Excitement over Obama will be hard for McCain to overcome

Polls are confirming what many of us already know: It’s hard to get excited for a candidate who wants to continue failed policies of a ineffective administration. John McCain is running for a third Bush term and voters, even from his base are failing to show enthusiasm for his campaign. Meanwhile Barack Obama is energizing people of differing backgrounds all across America. In Virginia, the Obama campaign has opened 20 offices statewide and these offices will be filled with enthusiastic volunteers ready to affect change. Virginia has not seen this kind of commitment from a democratic presidential candidate in a generation and with this commitment to victory in November, we will elect Barack Obama president.
