The Audacity of Hope
By Ned | June 16, 2007
The great thing about Obama’s campaign is that they’re not entrenched in the old, cynical model of politics. They’re blazing a new trail. This is a movement.
Look, it’s been said before, but if your entire campaign is based around the concept of a new, idealistic form of politics then you actually have to back that up with something. You can’t lecture your opponents on running a clean, positive campaign and then smear your opponent’s spouse with an unconfirmed story from the freakin’ Drudge Report, of all places.
I’m starting to think that despite the squeaky-clean image Obama’s trying to build for himself, he’s actually the most cynical candidate of them all. There’s a certain amount of duplicity involved in any major campaign, but nobody pushes this phony Eagle Scout image as hard as he does.
