Commentators seem to agree that the voters who chose Obama and Huckabee felt that they were rejecting the status quo. To put the missteps of the past behind them, they apparently voted for the candidates about whom they knew the least.  But exactly what status quo did they imagine they were rejecting?  Upon inspection, the “politics as usual” that they apparently sought to rebuff looks nebulous.  Obama has repeatedly linked Hillary Clinton, whose political team is personally and ideologically committed to wresting power from the current incumbents, to the thinking dominant in Washington from 2001 to 2007.  Even more oddly, the genial and erratic Huckabee says that the Mormon former governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney, represents the powers that be.
Obama ha vinculado repetidas veces a Hillary Clinton, cuyo equipo político está comprometido personal e ideológicamente con la disputa del poder a quienes actualmente lo ocupan, con el pensamiento dominante en Washington de 2001 a 2007. Más extraño aún resulta que el amable y desigual Huckabee diga que el ex gobernador mormón de Massachusetts, Mitt Romney, representa el poder establecido.
