This Michael Kinsley column (“Convicted of Charisma”) in today’s Washington Post discusses the fact that John McCain and the Republicans are, thus far effectively, using Barack Obama’s popularity and ability to communicate against him. How dare he be liked? How dare he attract people to attend his events in large numbers? Most Americans can’t do that so he must not be American. John McCain is a real American because you wouldn’t believe how few people care about what he says.
And it’s working, for now. Kinsley looks at this phenomenon. It’s a solid piece, but, alas, only elitists will click on the link. Damn us, and our critical thought. More bombs good kick ass America OK now! Super go time!
