Maureen Dowd sums up<\/a> the battle for the democratic nomination:<\/p>\n

\n

The fact that Obama is exceptionally easy in his skin has made Hillary almost jump out of hers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Indeed, Clinton seemed positively on edge in the latest Democratic debate in Ohio<\/a>, as if she was on the verge of launching into a Howard Dean scream at any moment. Obama was calm, dignified, concise—almost as if he was above this fray, but wanted to engage rather than condescend.<\/p>\n

As you can tell, I really like Obama’s persona—but his policies, particularly on free trade, are regressive and counter-productive (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>). Hopefully, he’s just pandering to the base until he gets the Democratic nomination. But if so, will he become a prisoner of his own rhetoric?<\/p>\n

PS<\/b>: Clinton cites foreign policy as one of her strong areas, so it was a bit of a surprise that she struggled to name Vladimir Putin’s successor in the debate. And to think we made fun of Bush Jr’s ignorance before the 2000 elections. Ah, the unraveling. <\/p>\n
