Could we wait until the votes are counted, Hillary Clinton is a highly respected candidate and there has been no shift out here in voter land, so this is spin a bluff a power grab by the Mass Liberal Wing of the Party who have now tied their kite to Obama, Obama is no JFK that%u2019s obvious, it is an attempt to pull the party back to the Group Grievance Social Justice Liberal Platform you have seen on display the last three weeks. Identity politics are non productive vauge grudges ugly victimization that then NEEDS hope to rise above and like these past weeks self inflicted, it produces no measurable result and cost much as the lofty pursuits to rise everyone up go on and on and enough is never enough, it ignores the pressure that already has been placed on the burdened middle class. There is a fight for the heart a soul of the Party AGAIN a slug feast between the Clintons, Schumer, Rangel kitchen table democrats types and the Liberal Kennedy, Kerry, Clyburn civil rights lions, but on Feb 5th Dems will vote like they did last night in Fla for Hillary and her centrist economic polices and Day 1 pledge most of the Parties base and independents that support Hillary cant afford these lofty liberal dreams and will vote accordingly with Hillary Clinton.

With Edwards dropping out, my household has just thrown away 2 votes. Here in Tennessee we have had early voting for the past two weeks. Being good citizens, we voted the first day for a now non-participant.

I guess votes don''t count afterall. Too bad we can''t have elections in which you vote for the person you do NOT want to win.

Ron Paul is such a twerp. Huckabee wants to get rid of the IRS. Yeah, that will happen. Let''s get rid of the Dept of Defense too. Why do we need them? Let''s ban war.

Wow. Just found out about this. I think Obama will get the nomination. I wasn''t sick of Bill Clinton at the start of the race way back when but I am now. You vote for Hillary, you get four years of Bill too. Being quiet & staying in the background is not his style. Not sure I want that. No way in h e l l am I voting for a Republican.

Good post.

Obama''s questioning of the relevance of Hillary Clinton''s type of "experience" in confronting the new challenges the United States faces receives validation from an interesting case in American history.

It also points to why Obama''s outsider status might actually be just what is needed to successfully restore the U.S. to international political creditworthiness.

Lincoln biographer David Herbert Donald showed how what might have been perceived as the Great Emancipator''s serious shortcomings as a war president and commander in chief actually turned out to be some of his greatest assets.

Remember, Lincoln came to the presidency having only meager experience--much less than Sen. Obama''s--in public office, let alone experience in the Executive Branch. (Lincoln''s experience in the military was limited to little more than two months service during the Black Hawk War.)

According to Donald, Lincoln was also fortunately unburdened by convention, precedent, and standard operating procedures in facing war''s challenge. (The parallels with Obama kind of leap from the page, no?)

However, Lincoln was also a quick study who grew into greatness through trial and error in pursuing the most significant of his goals.
