Handsome, young, clean, black, articulate, he came out with a catchy theme “change,” and captured the eyes and imagination of those on the left political spectrum. But in the end, he’s an unknown quantity, inexperienced, who also has flaws (But all of them are “off limits”).
Yes, I hoped Obama would take TX and OH because that would have sealed Hillary’s fate. She is the more dangerous of the two. Able to take a larger bite out of the middle of the political spectrum in a run against McCain, an established apparatus behind her, politically savvy making fewer mistakes, she is in a long drawn battle going to hold up better. Obama is like an inexperienced boxer who comes out swinging and looks real good in the first round.
In other words, “Age and treachery will win out over youthful exuberance every time.”
