The one thing I've noticed about him is that he's not afraid to be seen with people more conservative or more liberal than he is...and be willing to listen to their side of the argument.
That's encouraging. Specifics really aren't available yet. You have someone willing to work on an issue instead of drawing lines in the sand and refusing to budge on them...someone who can negotiate.
You won't know the specifics yet. All the players haven't had their turn yet.
McCain isn't afraid to be seen with and listen to people more liberal or conservative than him either. In fact, the reason a good chunk of the Republican party has a problem with him is because he has worked well with Democrats in the past. For a while it looked like that trait was going to cost him the nomination.
Granted, recently McCain has been kowtowing to party lines. Who is to say that Obama won't do the same in the future when he feels it would be to his best advantage?
And you are absolutely right. The specifics aren't known. THAT'S the problem. And I for one sure as hell don't want to find them out -after- he's in the White House. There's only one person I trust to put absolute blind faith in, and Obama ain't it.
