Obama would be formidable

Remember that except for Bill Clinton, Dems have a pretty lousy record of drafting Presidential candidates. So it’s very interesting to see the struggle between Hillary and Obama.

Bill Clinton worked his way through the typical Democrat slate of lukewarm candidates via his work in the Democratic Leadership Council. Then he built one of the best campaign crews ever, and smoked (heh) a very popular Republican president.

Hillary doesn’t seem to have anything near this type of effort. It’s much more of the typical Dem front-runner presidential campaign. The Demo-geeks like her, but when push comes to shove…will the country?

Obama, on the other hand, seems to be far, far more of a communicator than the traditional Dem candidate. This is getting lost in the shuffle a bit, but he’s given some really great speeches. He just sounds presidential. And that’s what’s important.

I don’t agree with his policies, but I sure wouldn’t want to debate him. He’d snag in-play Republican voters fairly easily because he talks like he has vision. None of the Republicans can match this.

That’s why Kennedy’s little endorsement is interesting. Old-school guy endorsing new-vision guy. Strange.

Meanwhile, all of this is largely irrelevant. The Democrat concept of superdelegates is going to vastly dilute the primary election results. It would be awfully sad to watch those people holding “Social Justice Now” signs have their convention railroaded by unelected delegates.

Meanwhile, all of THAT is largely irrelevant too. We’re 9 trillion in debt with no end in sight. Recession is probable. Ain’t nobody gonna fix this. And that’s not no double negative.
