Election '08
I know we're all supposed to be talking about Obama's speech
I think I'll let the man speak for himself:
It's really quite good, and there's a comment or three I've got on it. That isn't really my concern at the moment...
One of the intriguing things about the Obama campaign is how good he's been. He's taken the resources he has and applied them where they will be most usefully spent. Whereas Hillary has consistently focused on the next challenge, Obama has focused on the next two. This has put Hillary on the defensive-- before she even knew she wasn't the front runner. When things have blown up in his face (Samantha Power, Rev. Wright, etc), he has moved quickly, often within the same news-cycle to defuse the situation.
I don't know if Obama will win, and he's certainly not been mistake-free, yet it must be said, he's been the most nimble and effective campaigner we've seen in a long time.
