THANKS TO HILLARY

The Upside of Being Knocked Around

While I have not liked it, I have always believed that Obama could be strengthened from the primary and his Clinton experience.

This article explores the same territory.

Six ways that Hillary made him stronger:

  • 1. SHE MADE HIM A GIANT KILLER

  • 2. SHE MADE HIM ANGRY

  • 3. SHE LED HIM TO THE WORKING CLASS

  • 4. THE WRIGHT FIGHT

  • 5. SHE HELPED DEFINE HIM

  • 6. AND HAS THE RACE BEEN SO BAD?

    • The answer to that last one, I have to concede, is an emphatic 'no'.

    Kerry and Gore were virtually coronated at birth. The results showed in the general election. Neither had the stuff to go the distance that was required.

    Forget the Florida/Supreme Court excuse. A tough candidate would have beaten the bushies there and made the thing work the other way.

    Al Gore gave up. Wimped out. Kerry flip-flopped and whined.

    Obama will not do that.
