Add to the media darling phenomenon that Obama has become basically a shell into which people can fill anything they want. That’s why you see Republicans saying they might vote for him even though he is the most liberal Senator on record – with a higher liberal rating than Teddy Kennedy. It’s because he is (cleverly) being exceptionally vague in the campaign, so people see in him whatever they want.
