I've rated this article at B-class due to the good sourcing, which I think outweighs several other shortcomings. The structure is reasonable and approachable, with useful templates, but the first two paragraphs aren't really a "lead" (they don't summarize the other text). Apart from Obama in the template there are no photos, yet if Obamacans were ~ 10% of the votes, there should have been some impressive rally or gathering to be presented here. The debates on the talk page over categorization of Republicans - especially Republicans not voting Republican! - are unavoidable, and we need to accept that descriptions of political phenomena can only be approximate.
