Dorn and Obama: the mystic bond

Reading this KOMO article about Randy Dorn's rocky start, I was struck by some compelling similarities between Dorn and President Obama. Think about it: both...

• Surprisingly defeated a heavily-favored female opponent by calling for change
• Had to deal with a system in crisis at the outset of their term
• Stumbled out of the gate, partly because of their own missteps, and partly because of unexpected opposition from entrenched legislators
• Are not yet the sum of their expectations

I have, as they say, a theory: Dorn and Obama are stigmatic twins.
