From child of illegal immigrants
to Olympic gold medallist.
Looking at Obama’s
record on school policy in Chicago. Bill Ayers
talks about his philosophy. Which looks
like it might become an election issue. As indeed it has, or at least
ads about Ayers and Obama have. Obama
is reacting strongly to the issue.
Madonna’s contribution to the election campaign shows
the restraint and good judgment for which she is famous.
As a young Senator with no executive experience, Obama
picks as his running mate an older Senator
with little executive experience.
Links on said Senator. Polling suggests
the voters are underwhelmed. The McCain camp
is quick in its ad response. And
also.
Obama, and particularly
the media hyping of Obama, reading
this comment by Victor Davis Hanson and
a British view from Simon Heffer, is beginning to remind me of the Frank Herbert poem:
Here lies [a toppled] god
His fall was not a small one
We did but build his pedestal
A narrow and tall one
There is even the requisite
temple.
The McCain campaign
continues to be agile in its ad comebacks. The Obama website decides that retaining Obama’s critiques of The Surge is in Iraq
is no longer politique. McCain clearly thinks Iraq
is now a positive for him: in short, both candidates in this election pledge to end this war and bring our troops home. The great difference, the great difference, is that I intend to win it first.’’
Putative Electoral College votes. Obama
has more solid Electoral College votes. Obama
is doing no better among less educated white voters than Kerry did in 2004.
