With Warner, Obama Introduces A Theme

27 Aug 2008 09:05 am

Listening to several speeches, it seems  eems like the past versus the future is going to be the general election theme.  Gov. Mark Warner  gave a curtain-raiser to what the Obama campaign hopes is a winning general election message -- Barack Obama is the man of the future, who understands the uncertain and changing world we live in now. John McCain is a man of the past.

This fits into the frame that the general public has about both candidates. The technology stuff is key, since it's the meat on the bones of the rhetoric, but the past versus the future, especially when it comes to economic challenges, is the type of nutshell theme that many Obama partisans have been waiting for the campaign to embrace.
