What does Terry McAuliffe’s humiliation augur for Arlen Specter and Kristen Gillibrand? Have we figured out how to get around the Establishment, yet? I’m not sure. For one thing, Obama’s nomination was the biggest grassroots power move in memory, but now he’s the Establishment. How much of his success was attributable to his personality? How much of it was attributable to his tactics, which can now be marshaled against candidates he endorses?
I don’t really know. When Obama says ‘Boo’ does ObamaNation jump? Or does ObamaNation march to its own drummer?
We shall see.
