Tom Hayden on O'Bama

Some of this is very into the weeds, which is of course why it compares so favorably to the usual horse-race drivel. (And it offers perspective on how similarly parochial -- not to say insignificant -- issues related to Israel or the Jewish community can be.)

Anyway, it seems to be further proof that neither Obama nor McCain are very good (for better or for worse) at the finessing, caressing, cajoling and pandering required to win over all the various organized ethnic lobbies.
