O'Bama Finds Help in Iowa With a Focus on New Ideas
2007-11-20
A growing focus on fresh ideas coupled with lingering doubts about Hillary Clinton's honesty and forthrightness are keeping the Democratic presidential contest close in Iowa, with Barack Obama in particular mounting a strong race against the national front-runner.
Why do those "fresh ideas" sound so routinely familiar?
Most Democratic likely voters in Iowa, 55 percent, say they're more interested in a "new direction and new ideas" than in strength and experience, compared with 49 percent in July -- a help to Obama, who holds a substantial lead among "new direction" voters.

#3  Barack Obama is a poster child for the greatness and the weakness of the American experiment. Where else in the world could you find a less mature and unqualified prospective leader (outside Iran, Russia and Venezuela that is) who by America's greatness is given the opportunity to be the most important person in the world?

#1  The fact that he has "lingerly doubts" about the Clintonistas should be enough to discount him entirely. Of course to say he is convinced of her lack of honesty might become a hate crime if she is elected. Maybe he's just playing it safe.
