I think there's another angle: he talked such a good talk during the 
Unbearable Length of an Election Cycle that he's convinced a lot of 
people that he's David to the current Golliath.  It's too soon, he'll 
come around, he's just softening them up ... that kind of thing.

It's a collective trauma from the Bush years that's willing to give 
anyone a break because he's, you know, not-Bush.
