I read the book. I’ve heard the speeches. I’ve heard him address a small group. I love Obama.

Now he has to live up to being Obama.

The last thing any of us want is for his arc to be like Wesley Clarke’s: Enormous (and well-deserved) initial enthusiasm, quickly deflated by not being able to live up to inflated expectations. (I wouldn’t want to make a lot of this, but in Obama’s announcement video—on the Web first, btw-the only sign of TOWL (the Obama We Love) is that he’s not wearing a tie.)

I’m excited about Obama in 2008. I’m a little more excited about Gore-Obama in 2008. [Tags: obama gore politics]
