    Wait a minute...I give speeches too

    Clinton is blasting Obama for 'giving speeches' in a speech of her own. What's the difference?

    Clinton's entire campaign is based on the myth that she has a more robust record than the competition. I struggle to understand how the quantity or quality of her solutions actually differ from Obama.

    To the extent that campaigns help us judge the leadership abilities of these people (and I'm not sure that they do), Clinton's campaign raised more $$ than anyone in 2007 and blew through it all without anywhere near the result she expected. This is poor management. She's firing people now but I still struggle to see evidence of all the leadership/management experience she claims to have.
