Campaign 12 and the social issue
Charles Krauthammer lays out the bulk of the “If Bush did this” case against Obama’s foreign Drone War Policy. Â Unfortunate that he has to be the one, the neo-con he.
Meantime, Paleo-con Ross Douthart points to the matter of Obama’s “social issues” as palms against general economic lethargic status — it be the flip side for Thomas Frank’s “What’s the Matter with Kansas”, in some way Obama 12 descends to Bush 04 on how to proceed against a flip flopping out of touch Massachusetts richy. Â Sure enough, fight off the heels of the political announcement on gay marriage, we got the pitch thrown out on Internet ad-sense ads: Stand for Gay Marriage.
There is an odd thing at work here… look to the Democratic Senators who have not jumped on board what is now a permanent plank in the Democratic Party. Â Montana, Missouri, West Virginia. Â It could mean that this propels Obama to victory (Da Base) while providing some negative coat-tails for a further divided government — to that “Find the Democrat that fits the district” line that has always been the opposite of what is going on with the Republicans right about now.
