Re: The Obama-Clinton Issue
Wow! This was your best column since coming to the Times. I admire your use of historic references to bring clarity to a choice of historic dimensions.
I liked the lead gambit of your article which brought forward, then demolished, the argument that argues for Hillary through her stronger Senate performance. Obama supporters who'd read the blurb got a jolt of reality; Clinton supporters were flattered to get their attention for the battering conclusion.
What I liked most, though, was this line: "There are reasons to think that, among Democrats, Obama is better prepared for this madness." You didn't even feel the need to explain this strange notion that madness is reality. In this, you were right--how very 21st of you!
