My nieghbor and one of my best friends is undecided between Obama and McCain.

She is very liberal on social issues(including abortion), so favors Obama, but she is disturbed by Rev. Wright, "typical white person", the bitter comment, so that washes out. Now, she, like most in my hometown, favors Clinton, who does not have some of the negative luggage that Obama does, and besides, this area did really well under Bill Clinton, and having him in the white house as an unofficial advisor would be seen as a real plus. These people are more common than you think, are not going to fall into line without good reason, and are important to both candidates, Obama and McCain. | The three "issues" I was talking about were his race, experience, and her gender.
Once McCain and Obama are juxtaposed the differences are stark. If your neighbor likes this economy a) have her head checked or b) she is wealthy and the economy isn't a big issue for her.
Who is to say that Obama won't have Bill's help?
