Alter: Obama’s Momentum | Newsweek Politics: Campaign 2008

Hillary has none of the personal attributes that make Obama a great potential leader, statesman and diplomat to represent the U.S. She has no originality and no humility. Her demeanor is one of someone upon whom is bestowed the mantle of President, but she has not achieved stature on her own like Obama. She was not qualified to be Senator, and has no more experience than Obama. What did she accomplish during 8 years as the President's wife? Why did not Chris Matthews ask a Clinton supporter what Hillary's accomplishments are? No one really knows. Did she make the decisions that we supposed Bill Clinton made? Clinton is inventing smears against Obama which don't have any substance. Obama quoted some great men in his speech which is not plagiarizing. The Clintons are reaching for straws and trying to bring Obama down to their unscrupulous behavior. Hillary is all sugar and spice when things go her way, but spiteful and nasty if she is out done. I hope the Clintons stay in the past and let someone who has new ideas and a diverse background represent the U.S. The domestic issues will sort themselves out since those plans are made by advisors, not the candidates. They are not economists or social scientists.

Before Obama gained recognition, Clinton's people had annointed her the Democratic nominee. Everyone is now caught up in the excitement of someone so different as Obama. It is very energiziing.
