This “obama-backlash”/”honeymoon is over” meme is just that — the current meme in vogue
Bob — I’d say that Obama is the current candidate in vogue. His sudden rise in the past few months to take away Hillary’s lead has been remarkable and largely unexamined. I spend more time than they should on politics these days and I didn’t know much. Now that I’m beginning to, I’m surprised by what I find. Obama is much more radical than I’d thought.
Hillary can’t attack Obama directly but the Republicans can. If they’re smart, they will keep their powder dry until after the convention. Whey they open fire, Obama could lose as badly as McGovern–another idealistic, anti-war Democrat like Obama.
