Viktig aspekt inför presidentvalet
En intressant formulering av Howard Fineman i Newsweek om Obama fångar något som jag tror kommer att spela en väsentlig roll i höstens presidentval:
’We know John McCain: as formed and familiar as a well-worn boot. But we don’t know Barack Obama very well, and getting to know him has been and remains the basic national task of 2008. With less than five months until Election Day, there isn’t much time left for research. And because Obama is still wet clay, not yet fixed in the public mind, every news cycle, speech, sound bite (or nibble) and video stream takes on huge evidentiary significance. Almost everything is, as they say in the law, a case of first impression.’
Det kan tala både för och emot Obama.
