How will it all end?
Obama surge? Or Clinton comeback? Superdelegates anyone? With the delegate count agonizingly close -- and proportional representation likely to keep it that way -- all bets are off.
By Walter Shapiro [2008-02-11]

  • Experience?

    He and his supporters may be right, he may be the future, but he is NOT the present. The current world is just too *darn* dangerous for inexperience.

    Obama has more experience in office than Lincoln had when he became President of the United States. Are you seriously suggesting that Lincoln shouldn't have been elected, due to his "lack of experience"? Because I wouldn't trade Lincoln for a thousand Hillary Clintons.

    Experience counts, but there are plenty of people in this country who have more experience in elective office than Hillary or Obama. Like Dick Cheney. That doesn't mean they'd be any good as President. I want someone with leadership skills and good judgment, and my experience with the Clintons over the past 16 years suggests they're sadly lacking on both fronts. You only need to look at the shambles she's made of her campaign - one which has outspent Obama 2:1 - for a demonstration of how ineffective a leader she is.
