Consortium News Excerpt:
On the Democratic side, the contrast was visible during the post-caucus speeches by Clinton and Obama. Sen. Clinton was surrounded by old faces from Washington’s Democratic hierarchy, which has compromised its way through the past quarter century of Republican political dominance.
When Obama spoke to his supporters, the tableau was entirely different. He stood on a platform with his wife and two young daughters, with mostly young supporters behind him, not a single nationally recognized face among them.
Can you imagine where Obama’s campaign would be headed if he had Al Sharpton, Jesse jackson or Bill Cosby hanging around the stage during his victory speech in Iowa? This has nothing to do with race either, but if candidates are running on change, they’re best off telling their old guard buddies and kling-on cronies to stay home during those post-caucus speeches. Hillary, consider this a free $10,000 consultation.
