The New Republic has an interesting profile of Obama’s campaign strategist, David Axelrod, and his time-tested multi-part strategy for getting various black candidates elected. Also interesting: how resistant he was to take Obama on as a client. (Axelrod was also the guy who in 2004 help take one Senator John Edwards from relative obscurity to the VP slot on the Democratic ticket.)
