Snatching at the wind!
I am convinced that Hillary has unique, first-hand experience with the White House. As she and Bill Clinton have always sought each other's advice, she has been privy to the background decision making involved in running the country. None but the partisan would deny Hillary's credentials and Obama's attempt to marginalize her learning experience in the White House is a desperate attempt to lick his wounds in connection with Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island.
Hillary has won the big blue states, New York, California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and the bellwether state of Ohio. Obviously, she holds the reigns in these important Democratic enclaves. Obama's greatest strength comes from red states which will in all likelihood vote for McCain. It is a poor argument to say that the blue states will always vote for the Democratic candidate. It did not happen for Dukakis and it may not for Obama, either. He is not nearly as popular with Democrats as his voters think and those independents voting for him can't be counted upon to vote Democratic in November. Yes, the blacks will vote for him without a doubt but the other votes are iffy and may even be cross-over Republicans.
