Beating Barack [Ramesh Ponnuru]
Fred Barnes:
The most important [thing McCain must do] is to bring Barack Obama down to earth from his pedestal in the heavens. He's still the likely Democratic nominee, after all, despite Hillary Clinton's primary wins yesterday. And he's mostly gotten away with campaigning as if he's on a mission to purify America, not merely running to capture the presidency. . . .
The point is that Obama must be seen as a political candidate, not as a saint.
The default option in our culture is skepticism, even delegitimization. It's cool to believe in Obama now, but it may become cool to see through him by the fall.
