Blogger News Network: "IS DAVID AXELROD THE NEW POLITICAL GEPPETO" - By Jefferson Flanders
Excerpt:
"IS DAVID AXELROD THE NEW POLITICAL GEPPETO for Democrats and is Barack Obama his latest Pinocchio? Two intriguing newspaper pieces—Ben Wallace-Wells’s profile of Axelrod in the New York Times Magazine, “Obama’s Narrator,” and a Scott Helman article in the Boston Globe—suggest that Axelrod, a Chicago political strategist, hand-picked Obama as a presidential candidate and has been grooming him for the run for years.
Axelrod field-tested the themes of personal biography and political hope Obama is currently employing with another successful African-American candidate, Deval Patrick, who won Massachusett’s governor’s seat with an aspirational, issue-free campaign. Sound familiar? The Globe ran side-by-side excerpts of Patrick’s and Obama’s political rhetoric to show the thematic similarities."
