Bearded Bruce asked a while ago why there wasn't more serious debate here instead of Name calling.

On Meet the press Today Rendell and Casey debated this.

Meet the Press Casey v Rendell

They both made some good points. But I think they left out one crucial point, the ability to run a campaign.

I think that if Clinton gets the nomination and runs as poor a campaign against McCain as she has against Obama, she will be unlikely to win.

I think that if Obama runs as well as he has, McCain will be in trouble.

Also no one is talking about the gorilla in the room. The Clinton baggage that will bring out the Republican base, which is very demoralized this time, like no other factor can.

What do y'all think?

What are their relative merits, what are their drawbacks?

What counts more? Experience as first lady or ability to run a campaign?
