Hillary v Obama

August 25, 2008

This is a very insightful, well documented, and, in some respects, a sad 18,000 word review of the Hillary primary campaign - written by Politico’s Roger Simon. In fact, reading it, I came to like Obama a bit more. Why? Obama turned out to be the kind of campaigner/politician I, frankly, thought Hillary represented. Obama did not try to change the political system - he simply played the game better, smarter. Hillary tried to change the rules, if you will. This is the kind of person I want in Washington - I am skeptical about ‘change in Washington’ stuff - I wanted Hillary, in part, b.c. I thought she would work it. It seems Obama can work it. And I hope he gets to working it rather than trying to step in and change what only Jesus can change: human beings.
