All of the "hopefuls" are playing catch up right now, but to what is Obama trying (MTP) to catch up? What of the "Politics of Hope"? Mike Huckabee (FTN) is from there, you know, although Ron Paul (FTN) clearly is not from anything resembling the concept. It will be interesting to see if he stresses his libertarian credentials on this show or plays to the audience, whooping up the anti-Bush/anti-war/anti-GOP fervor in the minds of the untapped hippies.
Rice has some things to say – Pakistan, Palestine, date-rape toys from the PRC, and a possible veep slot – on TW, but all eyes will be on Chris Dodd. No, actually they won't be on Dodd. Most will tune out about that time. Never mind.
Richardson (FNS) is hoping to launch some sort of anything-surgence, a surge of his own, a "see me, notice me" moment, but I don't see anything left for him to do. He's already taken a stronger position against victory in Iraq than has Congressman Paul, so there's little room to go there. What's his position on energy grids?
I'll have a review up, here, Sunday after noon. |
