But many voters would consider his stances on several issues a flaw. He's against abortion, for instance, whereas I'm heavily pro-choice. Thus, in my view, his stance on abortion is a flaw for which I and many people would not vote for him.
And the same can be extended to many of his other views. So to state that someone has "only one flaw" is really incorrect and an oversimplification of the process.
At this point Hillary needs a miracle to give her the nomination; Obama's gonna get it. So it's between Obama and McCain, and I think Obama will win the vote. He's a better speaker, and the sympathy of the public seems to lie more with the democrats for this election.
And the pastor thing is ridiculous. I disagree with my grandparents on several issues. I don't disown them. I disagreed with the man who taught me karate for ten years. I still took his lessons. I've had professors that are polar opposites of me - I still took their classes, and paid attention to everything they had to say. Obama's pastor saying something is not grounds for accusing Obama of anything.
Besides, McCain knows Bush, and not only knows him but will continue many of his policies. I think that that is a far bigger blow to his chances than anything that Obama's pastor did.
