Current media obsession with Obama will do nothing
The current media obsession with Obama will do nothing but dry up all Democratic funding from also-rans like John Edwards and Tom Vilsack, and never-should’ve-rans like John Kerry and Evan Bayh. And, a Hillary/Barack ticket will probably solidify by the time (ironically) the process hits Illinois in March 2008.
Republican operatives appearing on Chris Matthew’s Hardball can sneer about Obama’s middle name being Hussein, but remember he has vastly more legislative experience than the Govenator and Condi Rice they’d prefer to put on the Presidential ticket.
This is why TCF believes that the coming two years of Democratic rule under Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid is of the utmost importance. If the Democrats can provide effective oversight (as pledged), thus leading to a salvageable resolution to the Iraq problem and economic fairness to American workers, the scare tactics of the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee will fall flat.
Guess you can call it the ‘Audacity Of Hope’.
