Reply #16: Obama's a preacher [View All]

In the same way that JFK was. He talks in lofty ideals and broad visions. He will use the bully pulpit and succeed in making some dramatic change to the United States. But, his success will very much depend on the people he hires. They will be the policy wonks, who do the nuts and bolts that are vital to change. Hopefully, he'll bring in people from the Clinton administration who were very good at that.

As far as the way he is being packaged and his campaign is being run, it's so far very effective, but I think he understands its a necessary means to an end. All the candidates do this if they want to have a prayer at winning.
