Awk
The problem between the two senators is that we don't know who is the more competent or (electable). They are both essentially untested and unknown. Both have exceptional academic records. Oboma does have an older American set of experiences closer to the people which is one of the factors that makes him charismatically Lincolnesque. Clinton HAS functioned at the center of power in Washington, Little Rock, and Internationally for a long time.

However, Both have minimal records of achievement as leaders of their movements, as proponents of truly new solutions. What will Oboma DO when his dream of bringing people together which worked at Harvard, and worked a little in Illinois, doesn't work in a chronically, historically fractured continental nation state where Montana and Massachusetts have little in the way of common values now, if they ever did.

Clinton is a great question mark as well. It takes the leadership of a village and she hasn't successfully demonstrated much on her own. Her health campaign was a leadership disaster. Her campaign thus far has not exemplifed great leadership and organization from the top. Her "voice" comes and goes..... and her themes have had a wonky edge Bill could pull off, but Hillary cannot.

The Republican senator also is hard to read as to his preparation for leadership. The son and grandson of four star admirals -- A kind of text book courage as a political prisoner, a mavarick who could not get his party to follow on things he thought crucial. These all point to an unusual man, but not necessarily one who can lead the free world through the momentus issues of the next decade.

There is no rational, scientific, quantitive way to know and choose a candidate. That's why we rely so much on proxies. Party, military service, ability to fund raise, and an intuitive sense of how the person feels and relates to the common man. Does the person collapse in a crisis? All three seem to have met that test!!! Is he more likely to help the situation or hurt it? Take your pick on the can't withdraw/must withdraw continuum. Do I want to listen to this person every day for the next eight years....THE CRITICAL HIDDEN DICISIVE FACTOR IN AMERICAN POLITICS. (Bush won over Gore and Kerry on this one alone). Well there I know my answer.... Nobody really LIKES listening to Hillary. McCain we have heard for a long time and he has nothing inteserting to say. Obamo is the nation's host in chief. Think we can deal with him on the pulpit for four years.....and then see if we have crucified ourselves on a cross of gloss and words -- no silver or gold only well strung cliches. Only way to discover what's in the box is to buy and open it.
