I keep hearing all this talk about this election being about having to chose between the "lesser of two evils" or having to vote against one candidate rather than for the other candidate.

And to some extent, for some voters, that is absolutely the case. But the fact is, most Americans dont hate both candidates.

If you read deeper into most polls, that sentiment is limited...particularly among Obama supporters. Most are voting FOR him because they share his public policy vision, appreciate his leadership qualities and intelligence, believe he can be a consensus builder, or a combination of these and other factors.
