(Community Matters) I nearly always enjoy her column and always read it. I have to say, today Maureen Dowd here touches on an issue that’s been worrying me too – an increasing, public loftiness to the campaign. Hey, Senator Obama and his Davids have the track record on this, so I’m certainly not going to offer my two cents on this issue in the conference calls I’m allowed to dial in on (our National Leadership Council had a call with David Plouffe on Thursday) unless we’re asked.
Nevertheless, the Senator needs to be touchable, real, have some flaws and quirks. Everyone knows he does. Anyone who’s been in a room with him knows he’s charismatic and engaging, not aloof, quite present. He’s real. That’s been his magic. Hope the campaign prioritizes demonstrating his realness to the rest of America. If they do so, it’ll be a landslide.
