Obama tries small-group politics by Notme dfsfs

Barack Obama started to meet small groups of voters Monday. In the morning, he spoke in a restaurant from New Hampshire to eight voters and almost three times as many newspeople."We've been blessed to have some terrific crowds at these town hall meetings, but most of the time I'm doing most of the talking and not doing enough listening," Obama said in Hanover.Among his voters was a medical student that was asked by Barock Obama about the health care, a businessman asked about medical insurance and then he quizzed a recent college grad on the job market.It was a different meeting as he was used to crowded halls and public, but in here he founded intimacy.One support of his, Maggie North of Claremont, told him that if he continues to be dragged to well-publicized disputes with rivals he will risk becoming a usual part of the political scene."You can be it. But you've got to stop ╉ excuse me for being blunt ╉ you've got to stop getting involved in the way people are fighting each other, chewing you up a little more," Maggie North said.A Republican National Committee spokeswoman, Amber Wilkerson, said that Barack Obama's characterization of the presidential campaign shows he's unfit to lead."Unfortunately for Barack Obama, this campaign is not a fraternity hazing ritual, and Americans are not going to elect a rookie politician who has ditched his 'politics of hope' mantra and gone on the attack now that he's dropping in the polls," Wilkerson said.
