The 22 Washingtons

Senator Barack Obama seems to be rather obsessed with the fact that he doesn't have much experience in Washington. To prove this, he said "Washington" 22 times in his Labor Day speech in Manchester, NH. That's a whole lot o' Washingtons. He also mentioned in his speech the fact that he is indeed imperfect and that he is damn proud of being the "outsider".
I wonder if it will work. People often like the outsiders, especially if they consider themselves outsiders as well. People also like imperfections; it makes them feel like they aren't alone.
It could work. Way to pull the odd man out card Obama.

everyone secretly cheers for the underdog. an upset is always much more exciting than an assumed win. i think obama is pulling a great card on this one. america loves the losers.
