Hmmmm. Tough One.


A truly fascinating campaign. I wish I were a grad student in American politics three years from now to write about the Obama-Clinton-McCain trifecta. I can't remember another national election where it felt like we had three similar, centrist, electable candidates. You can see Obama taking pop shots at both of them in this speech.

A couple of weird things here...Obama talking about bitterness. I don't like it. It seems inconsistent with his message. Then again, if it's what he's encountering out there, he should say it. But I don't like the idea of exploiting bitterness for political ends or using it to formulate policy. All very curious, this stuff...
