Obama’s path to presidency is far from clear (Los Angeles Times)
WASHINGTON — Even as his turn on the global stage hit an emotional peak Thursday with a speech before a cheering crowd of more than 200,000 in Germany, Barack Obama faced new evidence of stubborn election challenges back home. Fresh polls show that he has been unable to convert weeks of extensive media coverage into a widened lead. And some prominent Democrats whose support could boost his campaign are still not enthusiastic about his candidacy… Republicans are moving to exploit this vulnerability, trying to encourage unease among voters by building the impression that Obama’s overseas trip and other actions show he has a sense of entitlement that suggests he believes the White House is already his.
Adding Rove to the mix (by John: south of Melrose at Liberal Rapture)
Everything about Obama’s campaign stinks of [Karl] Rove. The lessons of Rove were not lost on [Obama chief strategist David] Axlerod. Rove has been invloved with this campaign from the gate…
From Cannonfire…: “Rove followed a clear one-two-three strategy.
“1. Pick the Dem with the most skeletonized closet.
“2. Set ‘im up.
“3. Knock ‘im down.”
Also, like clockwork, the media is turning on Obama… So do we get an Obama October Surprise to elevate McCain? Who knows? Frankly, I think we do. The unseen hand has been pushing things along for quite some time now. There is no reason to believe it will stop now.
I, too, wrote something on the strangeness of this primary, and who could possibly be behind it.—Caro
