A Democratic donnybrook

The debate was rich in sound and fury, but did little lasting damage to unruffled frontrunner Barack Obama.

    Obama says nothing, but he says it so well

    All right, Obama says nothing substantive. Maybe he doesn't have to. All he has to do is show up. And somehow, people who had given up, people who didn't want him to run and not succeed because they didn't want to be disappointed again, show up to vote for him.

    I doubt that Hillary could win against John McCain. Certainly not on experience. Which of the 35 years of putative experience were as an elected official? Five years in my state. Zero years as an elected official in the White House.

    And while a win for Hillary would be good for women, it would not be good for men.
