I thought obama's idea to have his acceptance speech in the open air 70,000 seat stadium was a modern day media stroke of genius. Then I read somewhere that JFK did the same thing at the LA Colisium in 1960. JFK is his model of how to become president. He'll use tv to put on a good show, as JFK did. He will also take advantage of a very supportive media, even more than JFK had in 1960. As I said back in Feb. 08, Barack may not have to have much or any content to his message, the media will be the message. The American people better wake up, but it may be too late. McCain is going to get dusted in any kind of debate, that's why he wants townhall meetings. the problem for Obama/JFK model is Obama doesn't have Joe Kennedy buying votes and cutting deals for him. Maybe he has other people doing that. Like JFK, he'll have lots of people in Chicago voting 3 or 4 times, probably all over the country this time around. It is amazing isn't it, a senator with 3 short years of experience, a few years in a state legislature, a "community organizer" (whatever the hell that is) is close to becoming president. He calls himself black, but his father left him, he was raised by his white mother and grandparents in Hawaii, moved to Indonesia, went to schools that included required classes in Islam, went to college at Occidental and Harvard (very few black students or faculty) and lives in a mansion outside Chicago. I grew up in a town that was very ethnically mixed in southern california in the 70's. I had more experience with black americans than he did growing up. Well, if he wins, America will get what it wanted! I never thought Bill Clinton would look good as president, but Barack makes him appear so now!
