Initially polling put the Republican opposition to Obama as considerably less than Hillary. However those numbers are creeping higher, as are the number of moderates turning away from Obama. Obama is one of those candidates who has the problem that the more people learn about him, the more they don't want him as head of our country. Up until now he has been able to ride the rhetoric of Obamism to victory in the democratic primary... however I doubt McCain is going to give him a pass on the issues the way Hillary did.
