The American presidential election (36)
Hillary Clinton was 33 percentage points clear of Barack Obama in a poll in September 2007, but today it is Obama who is close to clinching the Democratic nomination. He’s done it because he is a brilliant candidate – but he’s been assisted by a very impressive team headed by his formidable campaign strategist David Alexrod.
There’s a profile of Axelrod in today’s “Guardian” newspaper.
Footnote: Do any politicos out there share my view that David Alexrod looks a bit like Tony Blair’s No 10 head of communications David Hill?
