A friend likes to observe that today’s youth are excited about Barack Obama because such a politician has never come along before, and as far as his young fan base is concerned, that’s true. Such a politician comes along only once a generation (or once a half generation, or maybe every election cycle, but let’s go with it).

The Champion’s John Bivers, along with the Wall Street Journal, notes that focus groups and polling show that people don’t know what Barack stands for, and don’t care. They just know that he’s going to “move past political business as usual.”

We’ve never heard that before, at least not since Ross Perot promised to just get under the hood and fix it.

Thanks, Ross, er, Barack. Let us know when you’re done, and don’t forget to send us all a bill, ya hear?

UPDATE: See ThisWeek News video of Barack visiting a Columbus senior center. Gov. Strickland is pleased and proud.
