Obama’s 100 days

For an interesting take on how Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is doing read this interview with David Axelrod, Obama’s political mastermind, by the veteran US political reporter Al Hunt.

Hunt’s striking conclusion:

“It’s now only an even proposition that this “freak show” of scrutiny will do [Obama] in.If it doesn’t, he has a better chance than any candidate to be the next president. That includes Clinton, who won’t make major mistakes, or any of the Republicans. Obama’s fate is largely in his own hands.”
