Somehow, everything about the Obama campaign projects calm, when actually a million things are going on at once, from the grassroots level on up. The dude is not just playing chess, he's playing crazy three-dimensional Star Trek chess. On several boards at once. While simultaneously reciting Emerson from memory and whipping a tasty creme brulee.
In the midst of all the nastiness going on in the media, the campaign quietly releases this 15-minute video, a sweet, incredibly well-made, behind-the-scenes look at the Denver convention. It the last three days, it's gotten over a quarter of a million views on YouTube.
It's worth watching, not just for its feel-good-ism, but for how politically skilled it is. I can't even count how many sweet spots it hits, how many implicit attacks it counters.
Follow Barack, Michelle, Joe, and their families behind-the-scenes at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. (Music composed by Greg Kuehn for Peligro Music & Sound Design)
