And speaking of Obama, I was watching an interview of him by (IIRC) Tim Russert, on CBS' 60 minutes. At one point Russert actually started asking details about his policies. Imagine that! What was Obama's response? Okay, he said, you want to talk about policies, right now? Okay, let's talk about policies.
What kind of a guy takes 20 seconds in a TV interview to repeat the interviewer's simple request? A guy who just panicked a little, who's feeling a little fear because he isn't quite comfortable with his command of the issues, who's not quite sure that the other guy can't use some subtle flaw to pick apart his platform.
Obama doesn't quite feel both of his feet on the ground, and all it took was Tim Russert making a simple request to bring that out. That doesn't mean he's not a skilled politician, and it doesn't mean he won't be a lot stronger come November, but right now, he's only doing so well because the media has been giving him a free pass, and his opponent has been rather incompetent.
Hillary has now gotten back the momentum and gone on the attack, and it's a coin toss whether the man will come through through better and stronger or be beaten back bit by bit.
