David Brooks: Obama is the most effectively political creature we’ve seen in decades.
David Brooks writes in The New York Times:
Republicans . . . think that they’re running against some academic liberal . . . against some naïve university-town dreamer, the second coming of Adlai Stevenson.
All I know for sure is that this guy is no liberal goo-goo. Republicans keep calling him naïve. But naïve is the last word I’d use to describe Barack Obama. He’s the most effectively political creature we’ve seen in decades. Even Bill Clinton wasn’t smart enough to succeed in politics by pretending to renounce politics.

He just hired David "mudcat" Sanders who worked for John Edwards campaign & Jim Webb successful campaign in 2006. This is a big time catch.
The man hasn't said anything of real substance yet. Get him away from stump speeches and teleprompters and he's lost. He's a flat out socialist / marxist. 25 years ago he'd never have been considered for the Democrat ticket...not because of his race but because of his ideology and close associates.
