When chumdawg says, ""we've" looked into it" he's referring to a small subset of the population.

like I said to murph, the idea that obama has not been examined is total bs. you can claim that the voters are choosing a candidate they have no knowledge about, but that is self deception in order to convince yourself that the american public actually wants what the conservatives propose.
sorry, but the american public is saying "no thanks" to the conservative proposals.
the abortion issue will not swing the election. the majority of americans do not want to prevent women from having the right to an abortion.
as for ayers and acorn, a person would need to be under a rock to not have heard the news and the references of these two and obama. it is in every newspaper and has been on every national news network (ad naseum I might add....)
as for tax policy, yes, I'd agree that the average voter is not going to delve into the intracies of each candidate's positions. they will rely on the annotated and catch phrases. yet at the same time what they want is obama's tax proposal and not what mccain is saying, regardless of if it is simplistic or not.
