Is Obama like Adlai Stephenson?

Advertisements [?]

I did not follow politics in the 50s but have heard about cerebral intellectual Stephenson who lost the voters - even then.

As I watched Obama on Meet The Press, I was wondering whether he is repeating the same path.

I don't know who is claiming that he did great yesterday. I did not think so. He was hesitant, was - gasp - thinking before talking instead of a rapid fire of sound bytes.

Oh, and I did not think that Russert was mean and unfair to him. He raised former quotes which, if Obama is the nominee, will be raised by others.
