This is a great one-page index with preces to the whole long series of Chicago Tribune profiles of Obama from spring and summer 2007. Answers nearly all questions about his background and career.

Of particular interest:

"Showing his bare knuckles
In first campaign, Obama revealed hard-edged, uncompromising side in eliminating party rivals"
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/chi-0704030881apr04,0,6468332.story 
He knocked ALL his opponents off the ballot, including the beloved 'elder stateswoman' who had befriended and recommended him, getting him onto the ballot in the first place, Alice Palmer.

"Carefully crafting the Obama 'brand'"
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/chi-obama_senate_recordjun12,0,1010006.story 
<I>[In Feb 2005, soon after his election to the US Senate], Obama and his advisers were thinking ahead. Some called it the "2010-2012-2016" plan: a potential bid for governor or re-election to the Senate in 2010, followed by a bid for the White House as soon as 2012 or, if not, 2016.</I>

In The New Republic:
 "The Agitator" about Obama's 'community organizer' days ("rub raw the sores of discontent")
http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=a74fca23-f6ac-4736-9c78-f4163d4f25c7&p=10  (There are 13 parts to this profile; this link connects with part  #10, which tells about Obama knocking his mentor Alice Palmer off the ballot. Links to the other parts are at the bottom of the page. The journalist's praise of this action is at part #13.)

And Steve Sailer is doing a blog, finding facts among the verbiage of Obama's memoir "Dreams of My Father" 
 http://isteve.blogspot.com/2008/03/obama-throws-his-own-living-grannie.html
In this entry he quotes Obama's white grandfather displaying some shocking liberal guilt (and dysfunctionally dumping it on a 17-year-old Obama). Obama was raised by these white grandparents from age 10-college.

=========

If HIllary runs again, I'll vote for her, of course; no one else is near as well qualified; also I agree with her on most issues. She could be the next FDR, one of our greatest presidents (as Wilentz and others said).

I cannot now find something you wrote a day or so ago about 'narrative'. Bettelheim said of classic fairytales, the emotional equation was the character's "greatest fear relieved by their greatest hope." The maiden doesn't just get rescued from the dragon, but rescued by a prince who marries her and makes her happy ever after. You wrote something that reminded me of that -- my own feeling about Hillary as First Woman President. She doesn't just survive all the persecution and mysogny of the past 35 years -- she survives it to BECOME f.w.p.

Put the other way, it's good narrative that our f.w.p. should be someone who has fought through mysognistic attacks: the greatest honor comes after the hardest fight. I loved the design made by Hillary spanning the generations: beginning when only a man could be a Governor or President, doing her part without the honor; surviving the impeachment attacks -- then finally coming out into the time when she could have her own career under her own name. The pig swallowing the python.

Since that didn't work (or hasn't yet) -- imo Sarah sees it too and has supplied the next step OF THE NARRATIVE.
Acceptance speech: 
I can’t begin this great effort without honoring the achievements of Geraldine Ferraro in 1984 and of course Senator Hillary Clinton, who showed such determination and grace in her presidential campaign.

It was rightly noted in Denver this week that Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America but it turns out the women of America aren’t finished yet and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all.

So Sarah (helped by HIllary) pokes it some more, hopefully shattering it -- and Hillary gets in in 2012.

One-two punch. Two women presidents fer the price of one. There's narrative for you.
