about fundraising and electability,” or so says the Associated Press. She is languishing in fifth place in a spate of polls of Democratic primary voters; Bernie Sanders and Beto O’Rourke are dominating the money race; and her detailed and thoughtful position papers on health care, monopolies, and tax policy threaten to define her as theof 2020—the candidate who wins a prize from policy wonks and civic-minded pundits, but who never wins the nomination.
Perhaps Obama’s two-term presidency lifted the senatorial curse, and the ghosts of the losing campaigns run by Barry Goldwater, Bob Dole, John Kerry, John McCain and others have now been purged from the Senate. But with distrust of government at record levels, the optimism of the Senatorial Six seems unwarranted.
As for Obama, he’s best thought of as a SINO—Senator in Name Only. He began running for the highest office in the land back when he was a lowly state legislator from Illinois. If there is ever a study about his Senate career, spare Robert Caro the trouble: It will be about as thick as the energy-tip pamphlet that accompanies your utility bill.
Moreover, all of these Senate candidates—even Sanders—have a trail of votes and speeches that will provide tempting targets of opportunity for opponents who come without such baggage. We seem to be heading for a campaign in which a passing remark in a junior high school student newspaper will bring demands for apologies if not a stint in a re-education camp.
