Barack Obama wrote in The Audacity of Hope about his “spooky good fortune” in facing a series of opponents in his U.S. Senate race who flamed out because of ugly allegations found in divorce files or the untenable obstacle of simply being Alan Keyes.
And ever since then, it’s seemed as if every break has gone Obama’s way.
Here’s another one. Schedule an outdoor evening rally in Chicago on Nov. 4 and any other candidate gets snow. Not Obama. Here’s Tom Skilling’s forecast for today and tomorrow.
