Losing Elections: Democratic 101
September 1st 2008 12:31
I imagine that the day after Obama’s acceptance speech involved the following: waking up the next morning; calling John Kerry and his campaign staff and asking how to proceed; and promptly falling off the face of the earth. Where are the Democratic candidates? John McCain is easy enough to find, nominating a woman who, for all I know, might be nice but has a strong whiff of ‘Quayle’ about her. He’s also been seen around Mississippi and is at least within the general vicinity of Louisiana, looking presidential.
I ask again, where’s Obama?
With this single week, Obama can either define himself, or be defined as Kerry-Lite: just as detached, but more likeable, than the original. If an embarrassing photo of Obama emerges this week (think Dukakis and his helmet, or Kerry and his weird full-body condom), consider the election over.
