Joan Vennochi has written a great column on how people are forgetting their judgments and letting their feelings be won over by Obama. Part of the column is below.
"HILLARY CLINTON isn't the only one crying on the campaign trail. So is Bob Schieffer."The veteran CBS news anchor recently told radio host Don Imus he got all choked up watching the inspirational "Yes We Can" video, which boosts Barack Obama's candidacy."
"Some big media names are getting goosebumps thinking about the next Camelot. They're not shy about yearning to turn the clock back to JFK and the 1960s, rather than to the Clintons and the 1990s."
"It should be scrutiny time for Obama, even if only as a helpful exercise in vetting him, if he is the Democrat to face John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee."
"Other questions, just for the sake of political argument: Do endorsements from the liberal Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts and from the ultra-liberal political action organization, MoveOn.org., come with a downside in the general election? The National Journal just released a listing that ranked Obama as the most liberal senator in 2007. Have the old labels truly lost their ability to zing?"
Great thoughts from Joan Vennochi. Do read the whole column here . We are about to elect the person who will lead this nation not some person who can make us feel good. We need to look at who are the people running, what have they done and what their views are. Leave your feelings at home when you vote.
