David Axelrod makes Karl Rove look like Snow White

So says one reader of this BusinessWeek article about the brains behind the Obama campaign, David Axelrod.
    David Axelrod has long been known for his political magic. Through his AKP&D Message & Media consultancy, the campaign veteran has advised a succession of Democratic candidates since 1985, and he's now chief strategist for Senator Barack Obama's bid for President. But on the down low, Axelrod moonlights in the private sector.

    From the same River North address, Axelrod operates a second business, ASK Public Strategies, that discreetly plots strategy and advertising campaigns for corporate clients to tilt public opinion their way.
And maybe it was a joke, but another reader left a comment asking for "a great infumercial telling what a community organizer is."

If he does Obama's ads, I haven't been that impressed. Maybe that would be a conflict. But they are flat, boring and uninteresting. This "how many houses" stuff is beyond who cares. Who doesn't know he married a beer fortune? The way it's worded seems to be a slam at his age.
