Amidst the flurry of hype and hope over Obama, Allahpundit points out what may just end up being the Dems'
Achilles heel in 2008:
In case you were wondering why his message is 10 parts gassy “change” to every one part specific policy proposals, here’s why. So successful has the Messiah been in focusing attention on his own charisma, oratory, and “narrative” and away from his actual record that even 20% of the readership of a site like this is willing (momentarily) to vote for him over McCain. How doctrinaire is he? He’s to the left of Russ Feingold. And moving leftward every year relative to his colleagues: He was the 16th-most liberal senator in 2005, 10th-most in 2006, and number one with a bullet now.
I suppose that the silver lining in the whole Fred-flameout and rise of McAmnesty thing is the fact that whoever the Republicans nominate will be running against one of the
two most liberal senators the Dems have to offer. That's handing us some free ammo. We should send that party a fruit basket or something...
