Game On

NP: MSNBC

I noted that Andrew Sullivan was getting lost in the self-referential vicious news cycle a couple of weeks ago, but after Obama's acceptance speech, it looks like he gets it:

The McCain campaign set Obama up as a celebrity airhead, a Paris Hilton of wealth and elitism. And he let them portray him that way, and let them over-reach, and let them punch him again and again ... and then he turned around and destroyed them. If the Rove Republicans thought they were playing with a patsy, they just got a reality check.

This is probably going to seem obvious to a lot of people in retrospect, isn't it?
