Here is the problem with Obama: charisma (sometimes incorrectly defined as "leadership") is no substitute for fundamental, strategic political goals and principles or the established political organization with which to accomplish them.
Huffington decries the "where's the beef" chorus just beginning about Obama. But she's part of the celebrity culture herself and thus an enthusiastic participant in the Celebrity Theory of politics.
Once more, Democrats will set them up for disappointment at best and disastrous failure at worst by joining the Obama charisma bandwagon.
