I Think I'm James Carville
I filled out a survey for the Obama campaign today and said this in the comments field:
I think the campaign should focus on the historic twin pillars of American culture - sacrifice and innovation - that will heal our economy and environment, and reposition America as a global powerhouse. Forget about critiquing McCain & Palin - leave that to us bloggers - get back to Obama as an active positive. Remember, Kerry mostly ran as the anti-Bush and look where that got us. People need more than "I am not like him," they need "I am a leader." And Obama has everything a great leader needs in spades: an inspiring, articulate rhetorical style; an easy grace with others; intellectual curiosity and a lightning acumen; and a commanding presence of body and mind. That is why I chose him over Hillary Clinton in the primary - even though it broke my heart not to vote for a woman - because I believe he has the stuff to beat McCain and remake the American presidency into an institution of which we can all be proud once again. I love Obama - let everyone else love him too.
