He's a squooshy middle of the roader with no clear ideas nor ideals. At least a Bill Buckley can be admire for his intellect, even if yuo disagree with him. But Brooks? He's a bobo's hoho.

Barack should be happy it's coming now as there's little chance it will derail his nomination, and there's plenty of time for the wave to turn back upwards again.

But I don't think that explains what happened in New Hampshire as the piece you've linked here suggested. I believe that NH was going for Obama, but Hillary Clinton's likely-misinterpreted tears brought out a sympathy vote for her, especially after conservative talk radio and John Edwards said that this show of emotion demonstrated that she was unfit for the presidency. Had it not been for that incident, Obama would have sewn the nomination up a long time ago.<br><br>Mark Daniels I do think that some “buyer's remorse” is happening relative to Obama.
