The Tavis Smiley Show today from Public Radio International. The candidacy of Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois was discussed. I met Spouse and Princess for lunch, and I was just sort of wondering what difference it makes to the people of a state if "their" candidate becomes President. Spouse pointed out then every time candidate comes "home" it makes a mess (think motorcades on the Kennedy Expressway -- do we really need that).
And then we started talking about the press corp following Mr. President around.
Back in the day - heading out to visit the Kennedys at Hyannisport didn't seem such a bad trip
And going to Kennebunkport to visit George H.W. Bush wasn't a bad place to visit.
But something tells me that Chicago's south shore would be missing some of the charisma of the above.
I wonder if the press ever takes things like this into consideration when making endorsements?????
