Even Obama's greatest fans can't deny that he's younger and less experienced than Hillary and McCain. This campaign has really been putting him through the ringer.
Obama has even had to quit his church and spout nasty things about his spiritual mentor. It was his membership in that church which he used to prove that he's a Christian, not a Muslim.
Considering that his wife, Michelle, has admitted a lack of pride in being American, this latest affront to their lives should be especially painful. Well, he is campaigning for "change." I highly doubt that these are the changes he was hoping for.
Hillary, of course, doesn't have to pose to show that she's no youngster. She looks tough and experienced. She's glowing and not willing to do the "proper thing" and quit before the campaign for the Democratic nomination is over. The Democratic Party is split, and she just won another victory. This is the "dress rehearsal" for the actual fight, and it's not over 'till it's over. And even if Hillary doesn't win, she should be credited with toughening up Obama to give him a fighting chance against McCain.
McCain is the toughest and oldest of the candidates. At this point his nomination is as guaranteed as anything can be, though we must never forget John Lennon's famous words:
"Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans."
