I'm really no fan of his policy opinions, but he may be the best Democratic shot at an inspirational president. Its amazing to me how political geniuses will ignore the lessons of Kennedy and Reagan...American people are simply looking to be inspired, to be led. Political commercials also baffle me, Kerry's best polling happened in the weeks leading up the elections, when he was just doing the patriotic ads with hazy shots of flag waving from the convention. I think Obama could be that kind of leader, but its up to him whether he gets pulled into the politics of it all. Its amazing what a message of hope and American pride will overcome, even in the absence of substantial policy. We'll see.
On a side note, if I were running an 08 campaign, I'd go to whatever ad agency Publix is using...and I'm not even kidding.
