"Obama's ability to run a campaign seems to have given the actual measure of useable skill compared to Hillary's..."


                When a campaign has virtual unlimited capital resources, they could make mistake after mistake and still come out smelling like roses. Those of us who have tried to compete in business with heirs of great wealth know very well what that's like.

                An argument could be made that Obama was wise and personally camptured the fund raising resources of MoveOn.org, but in the beginning, I think there was competition for that resource.

                If that fund raising resource came to Obama through something he did, then that argument is stronger. But if it came to him simply through who he was, I think it is less so.
