Obama Attracts Republicans: MSM and Netroots React


I've been saying it for weeks: big name neocon media gurus have backed Obama ever since David Brooks wrote that famous column in '06 titled "Run Barrack Run," giving Obama his main talking points in this campaign.

Now the pollsters are arguing that Obama will win in Iowa by attracting independents and Republicans in tomorrow's caucus.

Markos in the Daily Kos isn't having any of it, and the Washington Post has picked up on the uproar in the blogosphere:

"Sen. Barack Obama, as The Post reported today, may be attracting Republican and Independent voters to his campaign through a stump speech that reaches out beyond his Democratic base. But the netroots, as the liberal blogosphere likes to call itself, is none too pleased with Obama's strategy. And Obama's getting pummeled."

It's about time the MSM and the netroots woke up and smelled the coffee regarding Obama's "experience doesn't matter; I've got intuition, etc." campaign forecast in detail by David Brooks in the New York Times over a year ago.
