With each passing day, we get another reminder that Barack Obama is not an indomitable presidential candidate, but a rookie who is capable of straying way off message.
Yesterday in Reading, Pennsylvania, Obama said: “Either Democrat would be better than John McCain. And all three of us would be better than George Bush.”
Doesn’t that kind of undercut the whole McCain-is-just-a-Bush-clone argument that was central to the Democrats’ strategy for eroding his support among independents? With one comment, McCain went from, “Return of the Son of the Bride of Bush” to a candidate who is kinda suckier than either Democrat.
