I meant to blog on this for weeks, but only now have the time. Roland S. Martin posted a commentary on CNN back in late October that took Barack Obama to task for failing to define himself and for failing to attract the African-American support that it was assumed he'd get.

Of course, Obama's campaign has been drifting for a while. There was much excitement around him and his ability to use his rhetorical ability to turn excellent phrases. However, even with all his money, he's really done a poor job of defining who he is and exactly what he stands for - other than "hope".
