How Obama Became The Man To Beat

CBSNews.com Reports: Barack Obama Is On The Verge Of Becoming The Clear Democratic Frontrunner. How Did He Do It?

(CBS)  This story was written by CBSNews.com political reporter Brian Montopoli.

---

If the polls are to be believed, Barack Obama, a man with just three years of Senate experience and virtually no national name recognition before the 2004 Democratic convention, is about to win the New Hampshire primary. The win would come less than a week after his victory in the Iowa caucuses and make him the clear frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Hillary Clinton, meanwhile - named most admired woman in the world, the spouse of a former president, the person the media had long talked about as the inevitable Democratic nominee - could be on the verge of a demoralizing defeat, one that wouldn't be easy for her campaign to recover from. As her need to fight back tears in New Hampshire yesterday illustrated, the pressure of campaigning and expectations seem to be taking a toll on her.

So what happened? How did Obama's campaign outmaneuver a Clinton team that many observers thought unstoppable?

Message:

Obama cast himself as the "change" candidate early in the campaign, and his competitors' attempts to co-opt that message serve as a testament to its effectiveness. Clinton, realizing that an argument built on experience and competence had not won voters over, recast herself as the candidate whose experience could best bring change about. John Edwards, pushing populist rhetoric further than his rivals, cast himself as the only man willing to go far enough to affect real change. Even Mitt Romney, a Republican, has made the notion that he is a change candidate one of the central arguments of his campaign.

The candidates have good reason to cast themselves as change agents: Polls show that the majority of Americans - and the vast majority of Democrats - are now calling for it. More than half of Democratic caucus-goers in Iowa said the capacity for change was the most important factor in their assessment of a candidate. But change was not a Clinton theme early in her campaign, which left the door open for Obama to claim it. He stressed that he opposed the war in Iraq, which Clinton voted for, to hammer home his rejection of Bush administration politics. And while Clinton has repeatedly stressed her ability to foster change in recent weeks - she has been saying "if you want to know what kind of changes I will make, look at the changes I have already made" - one Democratic consultant calls the attempt "too little, too late, and too obvious."

Tactics:

The Clinton campaign flirted with the notion of not competing in Iowa, a suggestion that doesn't look so bad in retrospect. The former first lady finished third in the caucuses, a result that came in part because the Obama campaign, unlike the Clinton campaign, aggressively targeted new voters - and they responded. "The astounding thing that really made the difference is the massive increase in turnout," says Dennis J. Goldford, professor of politics at Drake University. More than 239,000 Democrats caucused on Jan. 3rd, nearly double the number who did so in 2004. Fifty-seven percent of voters under 30 - a group that caucused in unprecedented numbers - broke for Obama.

The Clinton campaign has tried to downplay the importance of Obama's victory in Iowa. "The worst thing would be to over count Iowa and its importance," Chief Clinton Strategist Mark Penn told reporters after the caucuses. He added, "Iowa doesn’t have a record of picking presidents." But the Clinton campaign seems to have underestimated how damaging a relatively poor finish in Iowa could be, particularly considering the compressed primary schedule and the media's obsessive focus on the caucuses. Iowa isn't always a bellwether - George H.W. Bush came in third there in 1988, behind Bob Dole and Pat Robertson, and went on to win the Republican nomination - but it can transform a campaign and anoint a new frontrunner. That's exactly what happened in 2004, when John Kerry's Iowa win propelled him to the Democratic nomination ahead of Howard Dean.

In many ways Obama did not run a traditional campaign targeted at solidifying the base of the party, instead opting to stress inclusiveness and speak of reaching out. But he ran a very traditional campaign in one sense: He put together a massive organization and raising over $100 million during 2007. Most candidates with insurgent-like energy shun the party establishment, but Obama has welcomed such support whenever offered, winning the endorsements of politicians and celebrities alike.

Clinton Fatigue:

After more than a decade in which the Clinton and Bush families have been at the forefront of politics, there was an opening for a candidate who could transform anti-Clinton (and, more broadly, anti-status quo) sentiment into support. "The Clintons and the Bushes represent the last generation for many people," says David King, a public policy lecturer at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

Obama has been able to claim the anti-Clinton mantle in part by resisting overtly negative attacks on his rivals, attacks that might have caused voters to see him as nothing more than the latest divisive politician to emerge onto the national scene. Most candidates, King says, will talk about a new, post-partisan era, but "the next talking point will be a little zinger to somebody else. Obama hasn't been like that. He's been consistently positive."

And Clinton's early message of competence may only have exacerbated Clinton fatigue in voters. "When she talked about the grounds for her claims of competence it kept tying her back to the 90s," says Goldford. "And it raised questions in people's minds - are we really talking about Bill's third term?"

Background and Style:

People have long raised questions about whether Americans could elect a black president, but thus far Obama's race seems to have benefited him. "His being black is an advantage in Democratic primaries because racial tolerance is an important component of being a liberal Democrat," says Democratic media strategist Dan Payne. Democratic pollster Mark Mellman argues that Obama's race "helps to make his cause a movement."

"It helps people to believe they're involved in a historically transformative experience," Mellman says.

Obama's compelling life story, which he has articulated both on the stump and in books, seems to evoke a strong emotional response in many voters. Like President George W. Bush, he talks eloquently about his struggles early in life. (The similarities don't end there: When Mr. Bush was a candidate, he cast himself as the man who would unify the country, much like Obama does today.)

And Obama's appealing personal style, combined with his generally positive rhetoric, has been enough for many.

"We don't know much about him," says Payne. "He's almost like a spirit. People like the feeling they get when they're in his presence. But they couldn't tell you three things that he's done or stands for. We're at that weird stage where candidates get so magnetic that it almost doesn't matter what they say."

That doesn't last forever, of course, and Obama could slip up anytime, perhaps making the kind of verbal gaffe that can sink a nominee. But it's been a remarkable run so far, with Obama, not Clinton, emerging as the candidate most adept at avoiding the potential pitfalls of the presidential campaign.

"So far," says King, "Barack Obama has done just about everything right."

[prinzowhales]

Beneath the excitement of the media event called "Barrack Obama" there is the same old band of political hacks and monied reptiles and media hacks trying to sell this fellow to the public. His foreign policy handlers are supporters of multiple wars. He peddles hope and change in public, but before the Chicago CFR and with this General Dynamics backers, he sings a totally different song.

On the Democratic side he will take a major part of the fool vote on the putative left who imagine that a man who calls for the invasion of Pakistan and the "taking out" of thousands of "acitivist extemists" in Iraq is some kind of peace candidate...

...these are the same kind of delusionals who imagined that a Democratic Party led by Reid, Pelosi and the likes of the Mad Dog McCain endorsing Lieberman would lead to peace.

[gunownerdan]

Obama and Clinton are just more rabid gun-banning extremists just like Gore and Kerry.
With 80,000,000 gun owners in America, they are
losing a lot of votes by not supporting our constitutional rights.

[obama1289]

This video switched me to an Obama guy after Biden dropped out. Please watch this moving video! I brought tears to my eyes.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=jPev5sEdTjg

[gunownerdan]

Dr. Ron Paul is the ONLY pro-peace and pro-liberty candidate running for president. He will protect and defend the constitution unlike the "front runners" in either party.

[briannorwood]

For Mitt Romney to claim that he is a "change" candidate would be laughable if it weren''t so pathetic.

The only thing Romney changes is his position on just about every major issue in this campaign. He is a nothing more than a pandering flip-flopper.

[trillion1]

Just because the Dems pulling the strings push Obama now still doesn''t prove he has any experence.

[prinzowhales]

Obama is a War Pig in sheep''s clothing...He will jerk a tear from a crowd...but he can''t escape the clutches of the War Pigs in his entourage of financial backers and foreign policy handlers. Tele-evangelists, salesmen, those schooled in rhetoric and persuasion...they can mesmerize the weak minded who sway in the wind like saplings...they can sell whole life policies, time share, Jesus for bucks, get rich quick schemes, Barack Obama and Mike Hucksterbee...
Obama says he will invade Pakistan...so much for peace...Remember 2006! Did the Democrats end the war? Have American soldiers stopped being murdered? Think before you jump off the cliff with Obama.

[jasonmcj]

Obama''s supporters knew this all along. The polls ignored his followers, giving Hillary an artificial lead for a long time. Now that the truth is out...the nation will see that the majority support Obama and his position on change to be the next President of the United States. All you can do is make stupid comments about his past drug use...Is that all you''ve got??? HAHAHA. his experience IS the kind of experience the US wants and needs. Lets not even talk about how "experience" measn nothing....huh Gov. Dubya?

Obama for President!

[jasonmcj]

I seem to remember GWB not even knowing the leaders of most major nations.. Experience if OVERRATED! Obama has the CREDENTIALS and the SMARTS that will redice the learning curve that all Presidents go through. Expereicne indeed! Hogwash....

Also, if that is all you can say about Obama, is that he has little experience. I feel sorry for the rest of the candidates...who have MUCH BIGGER skeletons in their closets.

[vittoria1]

I think one of the reasons Obama appeals -- and it''s one people don''t often mention -- is that many white voters don''t see him as black, they see him as half-white. Raised by his white family, recipient of an elite education, and descended not from African-American slaves but from native Africans who don''t carry the baggage of the slave experience, Obama is a black man with whom whites can identify and feel comfortable. That''s not a bad thing, by any means, but we do need to be honest about the fact that while liberal (and even many conservative) whites want to support black politicians, they''re not prepared to stray from their comfort zone. Obama is a fresh face who seems to represent change in more ways than one, but he exists within that zone.

[janiet3]

Matters not who the Democrat nominee is, be it Barack, Hillary, John, or Bill, the Republicans have no chance, nada. They had their turn and blew it all on GW. We all know what a joke that turned out to be.

So, whomever the Democrat nominee turns out to be, therein lies our next President of these United States of America. Deal with it. And, while you are at it, try to do it with grace and aplomb.

[micma-2009]

It''s simple. After seven long, disasterous years of Bu$h/Neocon rule, Americans are looking for change.

[FLWB]

We need the best, brightest and capable to lead.
I don''t get that feeling from Obama (too much of the preacher and not enough leader). Certainly not from Clinton with her crocodile tears which backfired and showed weakness (what the far-right loved to see). Edwards seems too disingenuous (the proverbial courtroom actor). Mitt? Nuh-uh. More like a towel on the line flipping in the wind. Rudy? No moral compass. Huckabee? Too religious.

The candidates with the best compass and track records of sticking to their guns are Kucinich and Paul but they were already ruled out by the media as un-electable. Too bad, really, because they would have provided the best opportunity from both sides to offer a coalition which is what this country needs right now.

[yaliktono]

People in this country are so desperate for change that they will gravitate toward anything or anyone that looks, even remotely, like it. What has Obama done during his four years in the Senate other than position himself for a run at the presidency? He''s articulate, charming, professional and polished, but I sense a real disingenuousness about him. What change has he REALLY singularly affected? Research that question and then make a decision about him. Please look beyond the glitter before getting on the Obama bandwagon. I''m very disappointed with the field of candidates on both sides. I''m tired of having to choose between the lesser of evils - and I would be hard pressed to argue that Obama is that.

I said earlier that people are desperate for "change." I say that because they don''t know what else to call it. I really believe that, underlying it all, the American People yearn for honesty, authenticity and integrity. They want for a leader that will restore dignity to the presidency and pride in our government (which has been waning for many, many years). Barack Obama says he can do that for us. If that''s true, why hasn''t he before now?

Its not enough America ....................

[fashionistam]

The statements about Obama refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance are patently FALSE. Please, please do your research before perpetuating these falsehoods. It gives no credence to your argument when you base it upon internet myths.

[patrioticgrl]

Daily Kos and other websites touted him for months and bashed Hillary all day long.

Media love him.

He went to prestigious private schools and was bred to be a President.

He has a great pedigree.

Chris Matthews has a man crush on Obama.

He''s tall and a man.

Oprah (TV personality) approves of him.

He can give inspiring speeches (can''t speak up on committees or at debates to save his life though).

The GOP (Hagel, Rove) loves him (trojan horse).

He''s friends with hiphop stars.

He''s against gay rights, like many Americans.

He doesn''t vote on controversial subjects.

That''s how he did it. He''s a good politician.

[jessicanaomi-2009]

Americans are so used to having a president occupying the White House who is clueless that of course Obama looks like the next best incompetent president. If Americans are still stupid enough to vote for him, Obama will join a long list of incompetency - remember Reagan? It is all part of the dumbing down of America, where more people who know about Brittany Spears than Obama or any other candidates.

Good analysis but I fear the current process media and Parties place these virtues out of rour each for a new Leader, personality packaged as a marketing need is all that is getting through these political sects.

[prinzowhales]

"Change" is a very safe thing to chat about...it means whatever you want and can lead to anything... The weak-minded imagine that the "change" that they have in mind, is the same "change" that their Leader supports...that is how the skilled manipulator of public opinion succeeds in selling his product or himself...he gets the rubes to imagine that they are of one mind with the candidate...and that fuzzy warm feeling that they have when they listen to Master''s voice is translated into support.

Ahem, Pepper, GW has never once talked "eloquently" in his life about anything, at least not that I''ve seen or heard. Barack and GW are so dissimlar in every respect that to see you even compare the two is laughable at best.

Sorry, just the way I see it. And, if the shoe fits-----

[hofkurz]

Hillary''s show of emotion yesterday was nothing more than frustration. She is extremely frustrated about what is happening. And her experience? Tell us about that good health care plan that you got passed in the 90s, Hillary. How successful were you with that??? What other experience have you got besides just being "present"?

Mr. Montopoli:

In the first paragraph under the header "Message" is the following sentence:

"John Edwards, pushing populist rhetoric further than his rivals, cast himself as the only man willing to go far enough to affect real change. "

This is an incorrect usage of the verb "affect." In this particular case, the correct phrasing would be "to effect real change."

It''s a common error, however please see here for the proper usage in this case:
http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/affect.html

From the site: The less common is a verb meaning %u201Cto create%u201D: %u201CI%u2019m trying to effect a change in the way we purchase widgets.%u201D Mr. Edwards is not trying to *affect change* (which would mean that there is a change he is trying to alter), he is trying to *effect change* - to create it.

[cigo99-2009]

I do not think race is an issue at stake in this election. People wants the best and strongest leader to run America''s future.

[alainel]

I think it is really interesting the number of people who disregard Obama''s experience before he became an elected official. A community organizer is one who understands the power of people uniting to create change - and requiring that the people who want change actually do something to create it. While his rivals talk about experience - they are making a tremendous point - they have experience indeed, doing things that don''t work, don''t impact all people, and don''t make a sustainable difference in the middle class of America who work each and every day. I don''t need experience, I need leadership. I need someone who at the end of the day will know what they know, and what they don''t know, and make a stand, a decision, a movement - to create what we need. I should only be slightly surprised that Harvard Law Review, being personable, taking a chance when our country needs it most, uniting people, and demonstrating the capacity to grow is frowned upon. Enough already with the inherited position - change is coming one voter at a time.

- A lot to be said from someone who voted for Bush, registered as an independent, and spent most of my life blindly voting for Democrats. There''s something to be said for doing the research, making a choice, and believing in the possibility that our country can live up to its promise.

Congrat''s to Barack for a well run campaign, so far. However, it is deeply troubling that once again a couple of very unrepresentative states are having a major influence on which candidate the parties will pick. This is just truly bizarre.

[patrioticgrl]

Shultz25, we got the message loud and clear. And if something bad happens, will Oprah be to blame? Perhaps. I see in the horizons a President Obama who will not effect change at all. Has anyone seen his plan for change? Nope. The only thing that will change is the world''s perception. And Oprah''s (TV personality) power over us. Goddess help us....I bet Obama doesn''t even believe in a Goddess....he''s indirect rhetoric smacks of sexism. Ask single women 2 years from now if they''re better off.

[brandinius]

Shultz,

Glad you like Oprah Winfrey so much. You have good taste.

[mitywhity]

He''s the man to beat because there is no man running against him. Hillary''s a body-snatcher and Edwards is Mrs.Commie-Boy. Barack looks decent and has at least been consistent even though he hasn''t stated much yet.

[typhon0420]

Obama''s success is anther example of how easily swayed the American public can be. It''s inconceivable to me how he became as popular as he is now. After the train wreck that is the current administration brought about by a GWB who had a less than perfect record as governor and was a total failure in the private sector you''d think success and experience would be the thing American%u2019s would want. Obama just proves that guidable American''s will fall for a fast talker every time. GWB proved that after 9/11 with the propaganda he and his administration spewed out to the American public. GWB the fast talker he is convinced us to attack a country and its citizens that had nothing to do w/ 9/11. Now we are on the cusp of nominating another fast talker. What''s Obama going to do for us??? Imaging what it will be like it you hired a mail room clerk as president of a fortune 500 company. It wouldn''t take long before the company lost millions, people lost their jobs and the stock price would take a drive. So sure why not%u2026 this country is already totally messed up%u2026 let%u2019s hire someone with no experience to lead the most powerful nation in the world. Good luck American%u2026 I have a feeling you are really going to need it!!!! I%u2019ll be leaving the country before the country gets totally flushed down the toilet.

It''s very simple.

People are so tired of Bu$h and his Republican rubber-stampers that they''d vote for anyone who they thought could bring real change.

[micma-2009]

The right wing-nuts have been surprisingly quiet about Obama. Wonder why?

[kylevcole1]

This year people want change from the vicious partisan politics that only lead to gridlock. As they vote for change, they won''t be voting for Hillary or Edwards. As for Hillary -- change doesn''t bode well for BushClintonBushClinton, and 16 years of Hillary bashing by GOPers will take its toll and signify business as usual in partisan politics. Also, those who want change won''t vote for the man on the losing ticket from ''04 either -- elevating the vp candidate to presidential candidate isn''t much of a change.

That is why Obama -- a big-city African-American -- won in rural white Iowa and is leading in white NH. Change requires that you weigh experience less and take a chance with a newbie. As Americans are mostly conservative, change isn''t something taken lightly; the status quo has to be pretty bad to take a chance on a newbie. Voters are showing that the status quo is despised.

So it is a genuine change that is being sought -- not campaign rhetoric of change. Obama is the one Democratic candidate that delivers what voters are seeking.

Unfortunately true we asked for a competent ethical tested candidate they send us their pick for Dr. Feel Good with his marketed need and pixie dust%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026. And oh by the way those baby boomers he dismisses so lightly, we are the ones that vote in the States the Dems need and have not pulled...
