more trusted in every category; far ahead of where Kerry or Gore were at this point in campaign

Yes, he is clear favorite. Whole situation is now in his favor. And he has to rebuild the confidence, which was twisted in past years.

Perhaps we should give him a chance?

So far he didn't miss a chance. Lets hope for the same luck.

I sure hope Barack Obama gets elected. But I worry that McCain will because of the scare tactics the Republicans use and the belief the people seem to have in such things. Also, I get the Fox network! It's a most unbelievable station. My first day of viewing - I was gobsmacked. How it can remain tops in viewing is just mindboggling, so we get back to scare-mongering.

How on earth can he be more trusted? The public financing thing was outrageous.
