Neither the main stream media nor the Democratic Party nor even the Obama campaign itself has come to terms with the damage Obama’s tactics have done to our Party. The damage was facilitated by the media and the big blogs.
Obama’s first task was controlling the media. Politicalcenter writes:
Taking their cue from totalitarian regimes, Obama developed […]

One of the more persistent (and pernicious) memes of this campaign so far is Obama as JFK. This is an unfortunate habit of presidential contenders - to try and siphon off some JFK gloss and call it their legacy.

According to Obama supporters and his allies in the media, Hillary is finished and the nomination is securely in Obama’s hands. David Broder laments that “If Clinton weren’t still challenging, [Obama] could easily devote a week to a swing through Hispanic enclaves from California to New York.” But Hillary is challenging and I take Hillary […]

Rev. Wright mocked the Boston-accent pronunciations of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and mimicked him — wholly inaccurately.
Not only does Rev. Wright not have a good ear for accents, he does not have a good ear for how his outrageous, self-aggrandizing remarks are received by the larger whole of American people.
Here is John Fitzgerald that […]

The civil war now being waged in the Democratic Party gives us an opportunity to redefine liberalism and the Party itself. The sexism and […]

From “Part I: Obama and Kennedy: Gut vs. Experience“:

The Obama campaign has often summoned the spirit of John F. Kennedy. That evocative association is finally and forever severed in “Ask Not! Why Obama is No JFK,” a new Washington Monthly article by Ted Widmer — who Steve Clemons calls “one of the most insightful historians of early American political history and Director of […]
