The hubris meme is snowballing, amongst Clintonites and Republicans alike:
In interviews, Clinton supporters said they saw in Obama a presumption
that had made it hard to give him their allegiance. Some said they were
put off by his decision to accept the Democratic nomination at a
football stadium that can hold more than 76,000; his use of a knockoff
of the presidential seal at a campaign event; and his early interest in
giving his Berlin speech at the famous Brandenburg Gate, where Reagan
spoke in 1987.
The Republican National Committee has been pumping out regular e-mails
titled "Audacity Watch," a compilation of instances in which, in its
view, Obama has appeared to act as if he were president.
Meanwhile the McCain campaign is continuing its dastardly and ingenious strategy of appearing to be absolutely crap at everything in order to contrast with the ultra-slick Obama campaign:
On Thursday, television images showed Obama addressing the throng in Berlin, his speech carried live on cable news networks. McCain, meanwhile, spoke to reporters outside an Ohio fudge shop, where his comments were nearly drowned out by wind chimes.
Funny. Good way to put it. Except you left out it was a Gasthaus.
