The big risk with Obama was that there was no "there" there from the very beginning. Surely the leadership in the media and Democratic Party knew this risk.

The Democrats' (and Media's) Obama Problem

The Democratic Party and the mainstream media joined to run interference for Barack Obama when he became a national figure. Obama was painted as a charismatic, competent, new kind of politician. The passage of time destroyed this image. Now, the public increasingly sees Obama as incompetent, untrustworthy and unmotivated.
