Quoting Wikipedia:
"Supporters and critics have likened Obama's popular image to a cultural Rorschach test, a neutral persona on which people can project their personal histories and aspirations. Obama's own self-narrative reinforces what a May 2004 New Yorker magazine article described as his "everyman" image".."
Do you agree with this statement, and whether it may be a factor to the seemingly growing popularity of Obama, despite all the controversies that loam around him ? Looking at it with an objective mind, it seems to me that many factors may contribute to this phenomenon, including the current events suffered by the current administration, the apparently revolutionary tone that Obama employs in his speeches, and maybe even the Internet as a new key player to the whole election campaigning process. Regardless of my own political choice for 2008, or yours, I believe we can agree that this is indeed a phenomenon to be studied. What's your thoughts ?
Thank you in advance!
