While I have been a supporter of Obama for sometime, I admit that I have become concerned with Clinton's performance (very good) and public perception that she was inevitably going to be the Democratic nominee. Recently, things are starting to take a turn in favor of Obama.
There was Clinton's slip-up in Philadelphia followed by Edward's sharp criticisms of her credibility and her associated with the "corrupt" structures of Washington. And, then, Obama started to be more forceful, starting with his speech at the J&J supper in Iowa.
Now, Andrew Sullivan highlights in Atlantic Monthly that Obama does seem to fit the need to a bridge between the old politics and the 21st century. He does not carry baggage of Vietnam controversies nor has he been directly involved in the racial conflicts of the 60's etc. He is into another perspective that will seemingly bridge blacks and whites, Christians and others, domestic and international concerns.
And Ryan Lisa in the New Yorker speaks about his increasingly focused performance that he sharpening his differences with Clinton.
It is starting to look as he can be a winner!
