Is Obama another Zima

Remember Zima? It had meteoric rise as curiously new alcoholic drink but then crashed as the novelty wore off. The trial phase was great but the repeat phase was a disaster.

Seems like the curiosity with Obama is something along that vein.

Here is an excerpt from The Weekly Standard:

I’m convinced much of Obama’s support to date is more a function of the public’s curiosity with his narrative than support for his policies. Americans seem highly interested in this campaign but still uninformed about the candidates’ positions on many issues. The Washington Post’s Jon Cohen underscores this point in his “Behind the Numbers” piece analyzing recent polling data.
