LETTERS FROM WASHINGTON

Is it the U.S. of O?

Does the spellbinding ascent of Barack Obama signal the post-racial politics of America? How did he overcome the stereotype of black politics? S Prasannarajan tells us.

Letter from Washington

The story of Barack Obama is a story of many transformations. And in Washington over the last one week, I have been hearing only the many variations of that story, writes S. Prasannarajan.

Obama, like Rajiv Gandhi, brings the promise of big change. The concern is, can he deliver. Raj Chengappa tells more.

Race so far

Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate and the favourite of political bookies, is on the verge of being canonised — no matter however prematurely — as Our Son of Salvation, writes S. Prasannarajan.

In the global blockbuster that is the American presidential election, it has been a hero-driven script so far, writes S. Prasannarajan.
