Tuesday, September 9thChange vs. Broder
David Broder just can’t be bothered with reality. Barack Obama’s greatest obstacle isn’t McCain; it’s appalling “journalism” like Broder’s. Broder’s Sunday column, “Change vs. Change” is a short piece easy to read in its entirety, but here are some key excerpts (emphasis added):
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Change is coming, change you can count on.
That is the simple, central message from the two presidential nominating conventions held in Denver and St. Paul during the past two weeks.
Whether it is Barack Obama or John McCain going to the White House in January, the new president will understand that his mandate from the voters is to cleanse Washington of its excessive partisanship and attempt to break the gridlock that has prevailed on almost all the big issues.
The good news is that Obama and McCain, for different reasons, have about as good a prospect of achieving that change as any two politicians you could find.
The acceptance speeches they delivered will not find places in many collections of great campaign oratory. But rhetoric aside, the clear intent of both candidates was to signal that they understand the frustration of voters of all parties with the poisonous status quo of recent years in Washington.
