SocraticGadfly: (Pseudo)-poetry vs turgid prose – Schmuck Talk Express™ vs Just.Another.Politician™.

(Pseudo)-poetry vs turgid prose – Schmuck Talk Express™ vs Just.Another.Politician™.

Over at Salon, Gary Kamiya has a good, literary-oriented preview of Obama vs. McCain.

That said, he is too generous at times in conceding real poetry to Obama. He’s also too optimistic about how often Obama is going to get to exercise “soaring oratory.”

If Kamiya thinks Hillary Clinton ran a “lamentably retrograde” campaign, just what the hell does he think the GOP has in store for the general? Pattycake?

That said, elsewhere, Kamiya has a good piece on how Obama painstakingly constructed his current racial identity.
