    the fact that Obama came from behind and defeated the Clinton political machine with a finely tuned political organization which utilized the Internet to get out its message and raise funds from millions of individual voters as opposed to the "roll-up" funding of his opponent.

    After eight years with the guy I would NOT want to share a beer with, I'll go for the guy who defeated the Clintons at their own game and was a "uniter not a divider" of the Democratic Party.
