Edwards and Obama's approval ratings are as high, if not higher, than McCain's. It helps to be likeable and have a good narrative. People know who these guys are and they like them, even if they don't agree with all of their policy stances. You got it, Oliver.

Had he embraced that connection more it wouldn't have been close. Repack: Because VP Gore was a major part of the Clinton administration.

I think there are many who like Obama for that reason. My beef with my senator is that I am one of his constiutents, and he seldom answers my e-letters; the senior senator, Dick Durbin is better about answering letters and telling you why he stood on a particular issue. Obama answers letters mainly from his area, Chicago, I think. But in terms of my gut, I go with John Edwards. His message for the workin' man resonates with me. I'm not alone. JRE is getting a Paul Welstone <a href="http://blog.oneamericacommittee.com/story/2006/12/6/11337/4450" rel="nofollow">award</a> from AFL-CIO this Friday. Want to see a long list of accomplishments this year to receive this award? *Hotel Rising Tour in Feb, including Hawaii *Opportunity Rocks (Spring Break) in NOLA *Janitors' right to organize in Miami and Houston *Spoke to rallies for or conferences of union groups in Las Vegas, Oklahoma City, Wilmington (NC), Ohio *Campaigning for minimum wage ballot initiatives in 6 states, and all of them raised it *ACORN rally in Ohio (ACORN just got an injunction to make FEMA continue pay out what they are supposed to Katrina survivors) * Spoke at Wake-Up Wal-Mart Rally in Pittsburgh * Was at the LAANE rally last week when hotel workers got an increase in wages last week in LA and he's running a Poverty Center to boot. He deserves this award. OW, you are one of the few who sez what is in the gut. I think there are many who like Obama for that reason.

Why do you suppose GWB didn't "connect" with voters as well as Gore did? Despite your criticism of his speaking style, Gore “connected” with more voters in 2000 than GWB did.
