...allowed, and the UC had slapped sanctions on his campaign. In the end, he had received more last place votes than first place ones. This is a story typical of overeager freshman politicos. Harvard students have a deep antipathy to transparent displays of ambition. Nowhere is this clearer than in UC campaigns. The last three presidents of the UC have projected a laid-back, hippie vibe. They’ve loped around campus in faded jeans, sporting stubble and shocks of long hair. Purely on image, it would be harder to get farther away from the student council Type...

...Obama seems a more certain policymaker now, if not exactly a wonk in the Clintonian sense. He has a clearer handle on the big picture, on how various policy components fit together, and a strong sense of what his top priority would be. He wants to launch an "Apollo project" to build a new alternative-energy economy. His rationale for doing so includes some hard truths about the current economic mess: "The engine of economic growth for the past 20 years is not going to be there for the next 20.
