"The [Obama] campaign is beginning to look like other campaigns, said a former top strategist for past Democratic presidential campaigns, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Obama is struggling with working-class whites just like John Kerry, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Michael Dukakis did, and Walter Mondale. Hes struggling with voters in the border-state South. And hes struggling with an enormous wind at his back, a hatred for George Bush and a mainstream media that is little short of a chorus for his campaign."
