HIS STORY
This is a lengthy and illuminating review of Barack Obama's political history and what makes his bid for the Presidency such a novel campaign.
Pragmatic Politics, Forged on the South Side
In our house, we marvel at the political dexterity and administrative genius of the Obama organization.
It is well run and incredibly well put together.
These guys are not amateurs. They are the pros who could transform the US political process from a highly partisan exercise to a collaborative experience for the broadest number of factions in the country.
Oddly enough, McCain offers the perfect opponent for this kind of campaign to prosper. He is malleable enough and has enough courage to try different approaches.
The two campaigns are already in discussions to eliminate the mediated debates of the past decades and join together in face to face dialogues throughout the campaign.
This alone would transform the process.
It is an exciting time.
