Do you really suppose Obama supporters were primarily motivated by his stance against earmarking?
Why do Democrats have to be portrayed as zealots for voting for the frigging Democratic candidate for president?
Let me put forth a challenge here:
Can someone name five issues that Obama supporters were motivated by that don't include earmarking?
I'll even make it easier and put out the first one.
WAR. (That's a pretty important one for me personally.)
Let's see how difficult it is to come up with just four more important issues that contrast dramatically with the Bush presidency that may have motivated people to be enthusiastic about the Obama presidency.
Actually, I unwittingly gave away another important, motivational issue: THE BUSH PRESIDENCY. The enthusiasm about Obama was directly proportional to the repugnance people were feeling for the previous administration. I think it's a law of physics or something.
