Both Obama and Arenas have many, many detractors, many of whom do so vehemently.<BR/>• "Yes, I'm with you!"? What? Everything Gilbert Arenas does has people asking eachother if he is crazy!<BR/>• "Both are grassroots, blogosphere sensations". Wrong, sorry. Barack Obama, like it or not, is NOT a grassroots or blogosphere sensation. His address at the DNC and subsequent media appearances have been engineered by the Democratic Party. This same point applies to the "aura of accessibility". Obama didn't go "YouTube style" because he WANTED to - he did it because his campaign knows that it will speak to young voters.zellinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14582502677805108746noreply@blogger.com
