I think it is because people are frightened Obama cannot do the things he says, which I readily admit sound good and like good things to do. Obama has yet to explain in detail how he plans to achieve all of this and, to many, it sounds like pandering. Moreover, people see him saying all these great things and then surrounding himself with lobbyists and/or ex lobbyists (allegedly just along for the ride) just like every other politician. So, I do not think that every person not supporting Obama is doing so out of spite. I think some think he and his lack of real experience can hurt us far more than McCain's comparatively mild conservatism, with a D controlled Congress. Plus, he just seems sneaky to me and, apparently, others. These are legitimate concerns
I do, however, readily agree that anyone who will not vote for Obama solely because of sour grapes is not doing anyone any favors, save maybe for McCain.
