ENPR: Race Talk Bogs Down Obama

To: Our Readers

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: On Monday we received with great sadness the news that, due to his recently diagnosed brain tumor, Bob Novak was retiring from his column and also from his role as editor of the Evans-Novak Political Report. Novak has edited ENPR since he and Rowland Evans launched it in 1967.

Per the succession plan we worked out last summer with Bob, Eagle Publishing will continue to publish ENPR under the leadership of Senior Reporter Timothy P. Carney, a protégé of Bob's who has worked by his side for years. In his 2007 memoirs, The Prince of Darkness, Novak described Carney as "maybe my best political reporter since I began hiring them in 1982." Carney is also a contributing editor at Human Events and a weekly columnist for the Washington Examiner.

Of course we fully expect Bob, our editor emeritus, to continue to look over Tim's shoulder, officially or unofficially, and that you, as a reader, will continue to get the same accurate, insightful, and concise predictions and analysis you have come to expect from the ENPR team.


Outlook

  1. Sen. John McCain, this week, should be increasingly confident of his chances in this election that he has no business winning. Running against a popular, rhetorically skilled opponent in a disastrous year for the GOP, McCain is hanging on in national polls and the Electoral College count. The closeness of the race could reflect a deep unease about Sen. Barack Obama among Democrats and independents.

  1. Discussion of race, injected into the presidential campaign this past week, hurts Obama and helps McCain when conducted on the national stage. Multiple accusations or insinuations of racism or race-baiting by Obama's campaign and his supporters risk turning off white independent voters.

  2. Iraq has continued to fade from the public consciousness. On Iraq, no news is good news—which is bad news for Obama. If Republicans can succeed in channeling economic worries into anger at gasoline prices, the party's drilling-reliant political strategy could mitigate some of the electoral bloodshed the GOP is bracing for this fall.
