On Obama v. Clinton

Two recent editorials on the Democratic primary address the heated race between Obama and Clinton. Check out this Nicholas Kristof article in the New York Times on experience as a quality in presidential candidates. Also worthwhile is a piece from the Wallstreet Journal editorial board about Clintonian campaign tactics.

For full disclosure, I'm an Obama supporter, and I highly recommend his book, "The Audacity of Hope" in which he discusses his take on politics and the issues facing America. He describes a post-Bush/Clinton era in which the squabbles of the past 40 years are consolidated and the issues are reconsidered and reframed. I think he would truly represent a giant leap forward in the progress of American politics, but that's just my opinion. . .
