Entry: The Rise of the Obamacons -- It's really happening Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/the_rise_of_the_obamacons_its_really_happening#19335 Post contents: "Obanism" is probably a work in progress and it's not inconceibale that he could attract a few libertarians or conservatives in the process of evolving as a candidate. It all depends on how Democratic presidential nominee Obama (assuming that will happen) will respond to McCain's attacks on his foreign policy views, especially on Iraq. Obama could either sharpen his differences with McCain on Iraq, Iran and other foreign policy issues -- or he could try to re-brand himself as a liberal- interventionist. My guess that on economic issues (at least that's what Paul Krugman is arguing), Obama is more fre-market oriented than Hillary. And if he bashes affirmative action, he could also draw even more supporters on the political right. At this point and from my perspective, the only reason to vote for Obama is to deny (100-years-in-Iran)McCain the presidency. But I do urge everyone not to raise their expectations about Obama. He is bound to disappoint everyone if and when he arrives to Washington. Sent at: 2008 09 07
