Obama Should Wait For Loud Debates

Posted at 11:49 am on Tuesday, August 7, 2007, in Uncategorized, and tagged , .

Late last week, Jake Tapper blogged about Senator Barack Obama’s statements on Pakistan, and I commented

It’d be more wise for Obama to make these statements during a debate, when analysts are mining through an hour or so of comments by nearly a dozen people, and his opponents would have to make an immediate response, if any. Any comment would be both lost in the endless dialogue, if it was a small part or issue, or the statement would be that much more important if issue was studied further in the course of the debate. (Where’s Jim Lehrer when you need him?)

    Absolutely! But if he said something like he did concerning Pakistan, I suspect the more alert members of the media, like our favorite ABC News correspondent, would pick up on the remarks anyway.
