Obama not a uniter
There was a column in this morning's paper by Charles Krauthammer about Obama's (demonstrable) history of ducking controversial issues which require reaching across the aisle. The NYTimes published a front-page profile of him yesterday which said essentially the same thing. So subtract the 'uniter' label, something which is now being done, and Obama looks like a much weaker candidate. My thinking is that the Republicans would rather face Obama, because this country is in a mess and is almost inevitably going to get cold about the new kid with the rather thin resume.
