I thoroughly enjoyed the feeling this past spring of going to the Washington State democratic caucus to choose Senator Obama as our next presidential candidate. At a time when I felt that he would not get the nomination, attending the caucus had an air of urgency and excitement.
But now that he’s our nominee and he’s roller-coastering in his apparent ability to beat McCain, I get a sick feeling in my stomach every time I hear a misinformed, dishonest, or shameful attack on his character. Since these tactics have worked in the past, I expect them to work again.
So reading something like this article form the Huffington Post reinvigorates my my hope that Obama can win…
Huffington Post: “‘One former Bush aide who spends his days publicly bashing Barack Obama sat down for lunch with me recently and before the appetizers even arrived lamented that the Democrat will probably crush McCain. He ruefully called Obama one of the three three most talented political figures of his lifetime,’ along with JFK and Reagan. Karl Rove this summer told friends of his ‘exasperation’ with the McCain team’s ‘dysfunctional organization and sclerotic message,’ as Baker puts it. ‘And the president himself, according to friends and prominent Republicans, privately rails about what he considers McCain’s undisciplined approach to the campaign and grouses about McCain’s efforts to distance himself from the administration.’”
