Slog - Comments on Who's Got My Back? http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/01/whos_got_my_back As made clear by Mr. Bush’s last State of the Union address, the situation in Washington is marked not only by a shift in political power but a shift in dramatic power. The sense of transition was magnified Monday by intense focus on the body language in the House chamber as the two leading Democratic candidates for president, Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois, returned for a couple of intelligence-related votes earlier in the day and the president’s speech.

Then, Obama was shown, clapping and giggling w/ Gigantic Head Kennedy.
I wonder how much detail and strategy went into their presentations that night. Seemed like lots of cold calculations. Barak pandering to repub voters by clapping. Hillary subliminally showing viewers that she is all about bucking the system.

Wish I could count on a response...
