I tend to agree that Obama is at this point a textbook "Mr. Smith" and he has that tall guy, Lincoln big ears and head thing from Illinois thing working, but I think he needs to distance himself from Hollywood if he wants heartland votes. Also I have not seen him doing "down home" stuff yet. You know, like Reagan on the ranch chopping wood, Clinton jogging to McDonald's for biggie sized fries, Chaney shooting his hunting buddies. All of that is great "Mr. Smith" stuff.
