Despite the glitz he displayed in the primaries, Barack Obama has glaring weaknesses that may doom him in November

Jammie Wearing Fool breaks down Obama's tough road in the general election:

For all the puffery about hope and change, meaningless slogans aren't enough to propel a one-term novice into the White House when he's facing experienced competition. Obama may have benefited to some extent from Clinton fatigue, but once Hillary is out of the picture, she's still going to have a lot of bitter supporters who never will vote for the guy, especially women.

Moreover, you cannot erase the fact the exit polls in states such as Kentucky and West Virginia clearly showed large numbers of Democrats won't be voting for him. If that's any indication, you can be sure independents won't be giving him big margins either.
