These sites create a perfect environment for a candidate such as Obama to flourish in. Forget the politics of personal destruction: Obama practices the politics of personal adoration. His candidacy is based not on policy but on identity, not on a record of political success but on personality. He wants everyone to be friends and offers himself as Pal Number One. He might as well be running for friend-maker in chief. On MySpace, he has collected more than 96,000 friends; if Facebook held an election today, he would undoubtedly win.The politics of personal adoration.
