Thinking Ahead

Obama reaches out to the conservative wing of his party. My suspicion is that those - pro and con - who still somehow believe he's a radical, will be disappointed:

"He said he planned to be the next president and he wanted to work with us," Ross said in recounting his conversation with Obama before the House approved a $700 billion economic rescue package. "He also recognized that we had the numbers to block or clear" legislation coming from the White House if he is elected.

The thing with Obama is the planning. One reason he's done well is that people sense he's serious about governing and other people, while McCain seems fixated on campaigning and himself.
