Hey Bama..how's everything?
Similar points can be made about McCain and his affilliations with right wing extremists...Gordon Liddy, Pastor Rod Parsely, Pastor John Hagee, Shelley Shannon (she shot an abortion doctor). Palin also got 'exorcised' by a witch doctor and her husband was part of a (alleged) secessionist group. It works both ways. You raise valid points but to me, as far as radicalism/religion/extremism are concerned, Obama/Biden are much less extreme than McCain/Palin, especially Palin.
As for experience, yes, he does lack the experience but like I always say, there have been quite a few great politicians to hold little of no political experience before (Abe Lincoln most notably and yes I do realize comparing apples to oranges somewhat). I think people look at it in two different ways. One, take a chance on a unknown. Two, stay with what you know and probably get more of the same. I know alot of people voting for Obama not because of his political views, his change rhetoric, his economic or other policies, etc. They are voting for Obama to send a message that they are tired of the same ole shit. Whether that's gonna change or not remains to be seen. And believe or not, I also know a couple of people who don't think McCain will make it for 4 years and they are terrifed of Palin..
I think this is an unprecedented and untraditional election that has so many different factors in play..
