First Read: The day in politics by NBC News for NBC News
---------------------------------------------------------
*** The Barack-umentary: Last night's Obama infomercial seemed to pull out all
the stops. Details for his plans? Check. Profiles of families from key
battleground states? Check. Testimonials from popular politicians from
battleground states? Check. Climax at the end with a jam-packed rally? Check.
Still, it was pretty clear the Obama camp took the criticism for potentially
looking over-the-top to heart. Large parts of it were pretty subdued. It was
interesting how it was focused on voters -- and not himself. One might have
expected a little more biography. Then again, if he felt the need to fix his
bio with voters at this late date, he'd be in trouble. The end was impressive.
Not since Reagan have we seen a candidate so adept at hitting his time cues.
Even if you didn't like the 30-minute spot -- and even if it didn't win over a
single undecided voter -- this much is true: It gobbled up a day's worth of
attention. And we now have just five days left.
*** Al Gore Returns To Florida: Tomorrow, according to sources, Al and Tipper
Gore will be stumping for Obama in West Palm and Ft. Lauderdale. It's the first
time he's campaigned in Florida for president since 2000. While he's campaigned
in the Sunshine State since 2000, he's not done so for a presidential candidate
since he himself was running. It's more evidence that the Obama campaign
believes Florida -- more so than Ohio, Missouri, Indiana or even North Carolina
-- is the backbreaker. From last night's infomercial to the first Bill Clinton
event with Obama, every little thing appears to be geared toward winning
Florida.
*** Sitting Down With Brian Williams: As we mentioned yesterday, Obama had a
busy day Wednesday (the rally with Bill Clinton, interviews with Jon Stewart
and ABC's Charlie Gibson, and the infomercial). Today, Obama sits down with
NBC's Brian Williams. Be sure to tune into Nightly News at 6:30 pm ET for the
interview.
First Read with NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd, every weekday on
MSNBC-TV at 9 a.m. ET.
