I hope this isn't the reason that Obama can't pull the trigger in Ohio and Pennsylvania but who the hell knows for sure.

Biden, in Ohio, Sees Hurdles Ahead - Washington Post - 20 Sep 08

"Asked to elaborate on the challenge Obama faces from working-class voters, Biden told of an elderly woman at a Philadelphia area diner, who showed him an e-mail on her mobile phone repeating the charge that Obama is a Muslim.

'She said, 'Senator, I love you, I was going to vote for you, and I thought I liked Barack, but I can't do it,' ' Biden said. 'And I said, 'Why not?' She said, 'Well, look,' and she shows me an e-mail. She says, 'He's a radical Muslim,' and I said, 'Why would you say that?'

"She said, 'Everybody tells me that.' And I said, 'I promise you that's not true,' and she said, 'What do I do?' And I said, 'Well, vote for me.' And she looked at me and said, 'Does that mean I have to vote for him, too?' '"

"But 41 percent of Ohioans said in a recent poll by Quinnipiac University that they hadn't heard enough about Biden to form an opinion on him. Even in Pennsylvania, which neighbors Biden's home state of Delaware, a quarter of poll respondents said they didn't know much about him."
