He does inspire people and has managed to get much more support from white groups than I thought he would. I think his personal demeanor and inspirational oratory skills have brought many to support him. Heck, I disagree with almost all his policies except health care and the war but I can't help but like the guy. Maybe it has something to do with his underdog status and over coming the negatives I mentioned previously.
I think he may have somewhat of a problem with some women voters in the Democratic primary though. They have been waiting for years to elect Hillary and see their chances being dashed by this brash newcomer. From what I have read in some of their blogs this has resulted in almost hatred towards him and are trying to use anything including the reverand's remarks against him.
The funny thing is, Hillary and him agree on almost all the important policy positions and yet there are some who say they will not vote for him if he is the nominee. I think this has a lot more to do with the fact he is beating Hillary than anything about his qualifications.
