This Gary Hart diavlog (with Robert Wright, who apparently wants to have a different conversation and seems even more confused and rambling than usual) is sort of interesting if you know that Hart briefly considered running for president in 2004 that would probably have struck a lot of the same notes as Obama's has. Hart doesn't have half the stature of Obama, but I still wish he'd put his hat in in 2004, because he foreign policy expertise would have given the whole Democratic slate more heft.
I also think Hart's insight that Obama needs to make the campaign bigger is essentially right -- that's where Obama lived for the first phase of the campaign, and that's gotten away from him a bit, probably because he felt the need to lay out the details.
