Barack Obama made his foray in elective politics, his first campaign for the Illinois Senate, an imaginative one. By fly-specking the legal work behind his opponents'campaigns, he got them disqualified, including the incumbent. When election day rolled around, he was the only candidate left on the ballot.
That's known as Chicago-style politics.
Recently, in a televised interview, a grim-faced Obama said of his opponent, John McCain's, campaign, "They don't know what they're up against."
Now, blog posts on Instapundit.com and snowflakesinhell.com may provide some insight.
The Obama campaiogn is warning broadcasters to stop running advertisements for the National Rifle Association or risk having their licenses yanked.
If Chicago-style politics appeals to you, bear this in mind. When a rank and file citizen applies for a government job in Chicago, the conversation is said to go like this:
The boss: "Who sent you?"
Applicanat: "Nobody sent me."
The boss: "We don't want nobody that nobody sent."
