The Unspoken Campaign Message of Obama
By Bruce Walker
There is a theme to the political campaign of Barack Obama. It follows the teachings of Saul Alinksy, and it can be summed up easily: I will do anything to win. That was the theory of Alinsky, whose radicalism was simply radicalism for power, not for the powerless. Obama, like Alinsky, is not so much an ideologue as a power fanatic. "Give me power, then trust me to do something good" both men seem to say.

This blends in well with the national Democratic Party. Recall 2002? New Jersey Democrats held a primary under state law, the legal process for picking the Democrat nominee for the Senate race. Robert Torricelli, up to his neck in ethical problems, won the primary. By law, he was their nominee. Although obviously corrupt -- when has that bothered Democrat leaders? -- Torricelli looked like he could win, until the corruption got much deeper. Then, using a questionable legal argument accepted by the New Jersey Supreme Court, Democrats replaced him during the general election with Frank Lautenberg. The party that had no problem with a dirty pol like Torricelli had big problems with him when he might lose. Democrats would do anything to win.
