In Asheboro, Bill Clinton keeps it southern and small, ambling through a series of dinner pail concerns-- bills, schools, jobs-- the end point of which is always: "Hillary'll get that done for you."

Maybe the Undecideds like being wooed. I just hope I'm never behind one of them in a buffet line while they're deciding what to have for dinner. I might starve to death.

For an election-year issue, this is hard to beat. Which is obviously why two-thirds of House Republicans jumped ship from Bush's position.

I wanted an up-close-in-action glimpse of this idea of "empowered democracy," the supposedly self-transformational precept pumping through the bloodlines of Obama's candidacy.

It's simple, grassroots, startup ideas that have poked holes in the Clinton 1990s-style carefully crafted mass-media-ready messages. Internet news. Facebook. Hordes of young community volunteers.

Obama's bounce in the polls this week is more than a mere candidate "surge." It's a repudiation of the nattering nabob media which imagined clumsy wording could send his campaign into a glorious tailspin.

This is an interesting move for Clinton: it could truly be an effort to reunite the party by distancing herself from the mudslinging -- which will help the party whether she's the nominee or not.

I've decided to invite Senator Obama to Passover with my family. If he truly wants to know what goes on in the minds of bleeding heart liberals, several Democrats and three staunch Republicans, then I say, spend an evening with the Feldmans and get into that Pesach spirit.
