Tom Bevan over at Real Clear Politics has some interesting reports from Obama's trip to New Hampshire:

The media coverage of Barack Obama, as the Senator himself often notes, is insane. That insanity reached a new high yesterday as Obama made his way through New Hampshire yesterday with more than 150 members of the media in tow.

Susan Milligan of the Boston Globe described Obama as delivering "an uncomplicated message" of hope and promise, which I assume she meant as a compliment. Ditto Seth Gitell in the New York Sun, who writes that Obama's candidacy is "is shaping up as the perfected form of the campaign Senator Bradley of New Jersey attempted to run in 2000 and Governor Dean attempted with more success in 2004."...

...Another swooning Democrat told Dan Balz of the Washington Post , "I do hope he runs. I haven't been so excited by someone since JFK, when he was campaigning when I was 10 years old."

And if likening Obama to Dem icon JFK isn't high enough praise, a 64 year-old artist in Portsmouth went a step further, saying of Obama to reporter Paul West of the Baltimore Sun, "I see him as very messianic."

Let me know when he starts walking on water.

This isn't politics, this is hysterics. Our Democrats went 'round the bend a long time ago - thinking that we are in a BusHitler dark age...along comes Obama, a good looking black man, and the Democrats see their new Moses, who will lead them to the leftwing Promised Land (which is abortion on demand, gay marriage and defeat in Iraq, it would seem).

We'll have to see if this insanity will go on until 2008 - personally, I think that Hillary is going to get her smear squad out in force in late 2007, if Obama is riding high...and, dear Democrats, before you sell your soul to an Obama candidacy, you should keep in mind that Hillary will have a lot of dirt to work with in smearing Obama...your new Saint, you see, is a Chicago politician, with all that implies (and, yes, he does show up, prominently, in Caucus of Corruption).
