Though it will frustrate the heck out of Obama supporters, Peggy Noonan makes an interesting case in her latest Wall Street Journal column about the dynamic of this year’s presidential election. I don’t agree with her whole premise, but I think she’s really close to how many outside of Obama’s most enthusiastic demographics (the young and educated) may think about this election.
But 2008 will also prove in part to be a decisive political contest between the Old America and the New America. Between the thing we were, and the thing we have been becoming for 40 years or so. (I’m not referring here to age. Some young Americans have Old America heads and souls; some old people are all for the New.)
Mr. McCain is the Old America, of course; Mr. Obama the New.
