Politico.com reports this evening about depression descending upon Democratic operatives over Republican Sen. John McCain's poll numbers and the excitement caused by Gov. Sarah Palin.
It is a bad situation if you are a Democrat. Palin is going to score big points because of low expectations just as George W. Bush did in the debates in 2000. The first time she associates the right foreign policy issue to the right region of the world in her interview with ABC's Charlie Gibson this week, she is going to move more voters to her ticket.
Obama must adjust and conquer. And he needs to convince Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to be his campaign attack dog against Palin. Give her Majority Leader Harry Reid's job in exchange for help. He has been a poor leader in the Senate. Sen. Clinton could be so much more effective, but Obama fears she'll push for universal health care if and when he sends his legislation to Capitol Hill. He is not offering universal care.
Yes, this all sounds like a soap opera.
