I concur. How about this: Obama has only 2 years of experience on the national stage and was at most a state senator in Illinois before then. I would never vote for Obama with this group of candidates - but it has nothing to do with race.

Yeah, I think it’s conceivable that Hillary finally started to get through with her message along these lines. It also doesn’t hurt to have your husband out there lying through his teeth. I think the best explanation is some combination of these factors: a slightly re-tooled approach on the experience issue from Hillary, negative and false campaigning from her and Bill, and women taking more notice of the misogyny of the media and sympathizing with Hill. YMMV.
