BROOKS DOES A SULLIVAN
I don't know why conservatives (the good ones) like Obama so much but they really really do.
And David Brooks makes very good points here whereas Sullivan is simply anti-Clinton and will not be reasonable although his Atlantic article was throughly analytical of Obama and balanced than his daily tirades.
I think that Brooks has done the better job and he actually has an impact on my own view.
I agree that the presidency is like a bacterium and that the candidate with the least wounds does the better job.
In my time I have seen the impact of presidents with strong character (FDR and EJC along with HST). But I have seen some who have gotten sick in office and never recovered. (RMN, JEC)
I don't know whether Obama is it or not.
I am still cautious about his readiness.
Nevertheless, I am happy and proud to belong to a party that has not three but, perhaps, five people who would be up to the job (Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Richardson and Dodd).
Choosing among the best is a wonderful opportunity.
Look at the sad choices if you have the misfortune to be registered Republican.
