This state might be as close as the Democratic Party comes to having haunted ground. And here was another presidential candidate standing after a maybe-not-so-great week talking about trying to push through the attack ads and “get to” the public.
Senator Barack Obama’s flame burns coolly — he betrays no hint of punching pillows in private — but his words Saturday came with a frosting of frustration.
“If you think about this week, what they’ve been good at is distraction,” he said during an expansive and quite humid early morning press conference. “You’ve got statistics saying we lost another 50,000 jobs. That Florida is in recession for the first time in a decade and a half. And what was being talked about was Paris and Britney.”
Now, in truth, many candidates experience weeks like this. The issues seem to run in a candidate’s favor — Mr. Obama awoke in St. Petersburg, Fla., ready to talk about an ailing economy and saw this newspaper headline: “IT”S A RECESSION.” The mojo should feel good.
