| Re: Obama phenomenon / fashion / hysteria? We are early in the campaign. Many potential candidates but after the summer they will have been filtered down to 2 or 3 potential presidents. The filtering has already begun as Edwards and Guliani are off the race.
This is all foreplay and like we have seen, support is going back and forth. Slowly but steadily the election will escalate and get more headed. Don't expect Obama's immunity will last for much longer and the last standing candidates will be put on the stool for questioning and criticism. Skeletons and things from the past will be dug up.
Criticism targeted towards Obama will generally be accepted as long as they are backed up by facts and the same goes for support. I neither support nor oppose him since I haven't been able to properly follow the election. Although there is a small band wagon in motion here I doubt that all his his support is a result of his rock star status. |
