Making sense of Super Tuesday
Two great candidates have fought to a draw so far. But could media adoration wind up hurting Obama?
Joan Walsh [2008-02-07]

  • Obama

    Joan,

    If the media is swooning over Obama, there is good reason; his campaign is a people-powered event, much in the mold of Howard Dean. It's a bottom-up kind of thing, as opposed to the top-down affair run by Hillary and her tired old DLC consultants. Take a look at their fundraising profiles, and you will see the whole story-- he is raising a ton of money in very small increments, she is raising a ton of money from fewer, larger sources

    Obama is offering us fresh and new. Hillary is selling same old, same old. Is it any wonder that the media is excited too?
