Er--maybe they're not...
First, they plan to have Obama speaking tomorrow night on a stage festooned with a huge, fake Greek-temple-like structure...
And so Victor Davis Hanson of NRO points out exactly why that might not be such a hot idea:
"Let me get this straight: Obama goes to Europe, does a garish outdoor extravaganza before thousands, returns to find himself dubbed a publicity-seeking celebrity, analogous to Paris Hilton—and abruptly begins a tailspin in the polls. And now in reaction, at the greatest moment of his life, he transfers his acceptance speech to an open-air stadium to handle tens of thousands of frenzied fans, replete with Greek temple (Olympian Zeus or Parthenon?) as the backdrop stage, and outspoken rock stars? His handlers now seem as inept in the general elections as they were once adept in the primaries. I don't see how you win Ohio or Michigan with Golden Gate Park circa 1967."
I think too many folks assumed that, if the Obama people could beat Hillary and her juggernaut, they must be a collection of geniuses. Only, what we've found is that Hillary and co. weren't a powerhouse, not by any stretch of the imagination. The Obama campaign's reputation is unearned; and they're demonstrating it, day after day.
