Obama's slump

Baseball players who get into a hitting slump have been known to try some odd things to get back on track. New York Yankees slugger Jason Giambi said he wears a gold lamé, tiger-stripe thong under his uniform.

"I only put it on when I'm desperate to get out of a big slump" he told a sportswriter.

A less superstitious way to get out of a slump is to look at video of yourself when you were hitting and see if you might have started doing something that has thrown off your swing.

America Wants To Know has noticed that Barack Obama's swing is different since he defeated Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

No doubt the candidate and his campaign managers have good, poll-tested reasons for the shift in Senator Obama's rhetoric.

But just in case anybody's interested in reviewing old tapes of Senator Obama's swing, we'd like to direct your attention to this America Wants To Know post from last February, "The Romantic appeal of Barack Obama."
