I suspect it (a person's feeling of trust in a candidate or familiarity with their general ideology or just simply "liking them") boils down a to a few things like whether they speak in a familiar way, and you're right - Obama may be as bad at Obamisms as Bush has been at Bushisms.
They've all said stupid things - Hillary had the bobby kennedy comment, McCain the seven houses thing, Palin has a new stupid thing most days.
I noticed McCain would say things like Amurcan and nucular on the campaign trail - he didn't used to say stuff like that and I wonder if he picked it up to appeal to a different slice of the electorate. Obama does it to, sounding more educated on some occasions, and more (dare I say it) black on others.
There's a hell of a lot of 'nonissues' in campaigning, but we can try.
agreed--slips of the tongue are sometimes just slips of the tongue.
If we are going to be that hypercritical, no one has a chance.
