the politicians lead on any subject. They ALL say and do what ever is relevant at any given moment.
The facts of the matter are, there are issues of concern for either candidate. In the case of Obama, like it or not, he is a late arrival on the scene and like it or not there are not many people that know any more about him than what he or his organizers want you to know.
It is also been proven that he has been tied to some pretty scary organizations by most average American standards.
Every body should be doing their own research on their candidates. The least important input is what is seen and heard on television or the media....it is trumped up information, usually slandering the opponent...rarely do we get much substance about them or the issues.

Unknown entities need more than how they walk and talk to reach a conclusion.

Say what all will....Obama is NOT a known enough entity to the American people. To the party loyalists and followers, we all know that does not matter.

There is an old saying that the devil you know is much easier to deal with than the one you don't!!!! Let it mean what ever one wants.
