Personally, I'm far from a fan of Obama's, but I fucking hate John McCain and hope to see Obama run a more effective and more progressive campaign (to me that's a redundancy, though others think it's a contradiction in terms) that will both energize his base (including the likes of yours truly) and will give him a mandate to restore the Constitution and the economy, to back off the hawkish stances without living in fear of being called "soft on terror," bring us out of the stone age on health insurance, and invest in alternative energy as if life depended on it ('cause it does).
Whatever reason one wants to choose on why this presumed cakewalk has turned into a horse race, that development may represent an opportunity to persuade Obama to focus on building his party's brand by advocating a proud and distinctly Democratic agenda, instead of the accommodating post-partisan spiel that frustrated some of us and worries us about how much real "change" we can expect from him.
So, I do hope more Dems will take Obama at his word about this campaign being about us, and not him, and speak up about where he can do better.
