Why are the people who brought us Bush pushing Obama? Obama supporters - please answer me [View All]

I am not in any way inferring Obama is Bush, or not a democrat , nor do I even think he cannot win in GE. But that aside, why is Rush praising him?
Last night I saw Dorris Kearn Goodwin ("It's just more fun to attack Gore") saying that she's been in Iraq and those soldiers don't care much about war (???) but all they want is to vote for Obama. All the panel - that usually falls over themselves to praise Bush were now gushing over Obama - MSNBC is just more strident - but it's all over the place.
And since a subthread hijacked the thread - no, this is not about Doris.
It's about Rush and his friends.
And looking back to 2000, during the primaries, Bush hasn't had the tenth od this adoration. Not even many months after the coup - I think what I see now on TV is comparable to post 9.11 Bush size worship
Obama supporters never answered me - why are all Gore, Kerry tormentors in love with Obama? I'd appreciate honest reflection/answers rather than flame war.
And to avoid the "but the handshake..." arguments, here are coverage stats:



Obama: 47% positive, 16% negative.
Clinton: 27% positive, 38% negative.
McCain: 12% positive, 48% negative
Giuliani: 28% positive, 37% negative

Net numbers

Obama +31
Giuliani -9
Clinton -11
McCain -36

The other question - how long do you think they'll go on like this?
