I know this won't be a popular diary, given the apparent popularity of this Democratic candidate for president, but I ask myself this question every time I see Obama speak. Is he the one that can really turn things around for us, or is he another "player" from Chicago?  How did we end up with him as the the Dem candidate, over Joe Biden, John Edwards, or Dennis Kucinich, whom I believed were each more popular than Obama or Clinton? (that other player from New York, wife of the player from Hope, Arkansas). I ask myself that question about John McCain, too.  How did we end up with him as the Republican candidate over the obviously more popular Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee?

How did you like the interview?  Do you think Scotty revealed anything we didn't already know?  Are you going to buy his book?  Personally, I wasn't thrilled, but it wasn't Keith's fault.  It was the subject matter, and the way it was presented and elaborated upon by Mr. McClellan.  

I actually thought the whole of the interview was Scott McClellan trying to give the Bush administration a pass "for getting all caught up in the Washington spin", as though they were novices on the political scene!
