Working Families Party just sent out an email whose level of egomania seems inflated even for them. They are touting their slate of candidates (or at least some of them) as potentially "The Next Obama."

Now I do not know all the candidates they mention, but I have to say this kind of grossly exaggerated and self-important rhetoric strikes me as particularly egregious when considering the WFP. But here is their list of potentially budding Obamas:

JUMAANE WILLIAMS
SJ JUNG
DEBI ROSE
YDANIS RODRIQUEZ
DANIEL DROMM
BRAD LANDER

I don't know the first four individuals to know whether they deserve to be crowned by WFP as "The Next Obama." Perhaps one of them does. Or perhaps one of them might be the "Next Clinton," or the "Next Tyler" or "Next James K. Polk." Who knows? I know Daniel Dromm by reputation and find him very impressive and endorsed him long before WFP did. However, to declare him potentially the "Next Obama" is beyond the range of even my ego. And I think all bloggers have a fairly large ego, but WFP beats us all.  read more »
