The Sanjaya Effect

Rich Lowry asks if Obama is too cool.

And mentions older voters are immune to Obama's charms. Enter John McCain. Karl Rove making steam come out of the ears of the Left in the WSJ today:

The big development to watch is not the rise of the "Obamicans" -- Republicans who are backing the charismatic Illinois senator. The interesting electoral phenomenon is the emergence of the "McCainicrats" -- Democrats backing Mr. McCain. It's not just Sen. Joe Lieberman. In three recent polls, (Fox, LA Times/Bloomberg and Gallup), almost twice as many Democrats support Mr. McCain as Republicans support Mr. Obama. Three times as many Democrats support Mr. McCain as Republicans back Mrs. Clinton.

As Dean Barnett points out in The Weekly Standard, recall also Barack's buddy Deval Patrick, the governor of Massachusetts, who ran on the same empty platform (with the same campaign manager, Chicagoan David Axelrod) He's not having such a good first year governing, and despite endorsements from the Kennedys of Camelot, Hillary won Massachusetts--voters there cool to Barack.

P.S. Rolling Stone profiles Obama. In short, they like drugs, don't like drug companies, ergo they like him. Oh, and they compare him to JFK and Lincoln.
