month & half after this post, now having read & watched, ~ d n think NPR was right to say a movment. this seems right to me:
July 1, 2008: Obama not running as movement - Roger Simon - Politico.com | Barack Obama is a different kind of Democrat. He is one who actually intends to win. :
He has made a key decision, to run as a candidate for president & not as the leader of a movement. photo cptn: Obama, showing intends to win this election, rejects the Dean example of campaigning as ldr of a movement. In 2004 Howard Dean was supposed be leadingg a movemt designed to “empower” citizens wh felt locked out of th process. His slogan, & title one his books,“You Have the Power.”
Obama's first general election ad stressed his love for ctry & 'heartland' values, & how he has a 'deep & abiding faith' in Amer. His second ad talks re how he fought for workers’ rights, moved people fr welfare to work, wants to end tax breaks for companies th export jobs, & will “never forget the dignity th comes fr work.” The ads are clearly not movement ads. not angry, threatening or in your face. are calming. are meant to introduce Obama to the nation. 10/17 keep thinkg of this, in cnvrsatn w IOF, rdg Lizza re Obama's yrs in Chgo politics [Making It. pgmrk 10/16: item-archv print a]
