I am disgusted and dismayed by the small-mindedness and outright racist tendencies shown by many on this blog--mostly Hillary supporters.

This was once a great forum of ideas; it no longer is.

Obama people...Edwards people...thank you for engaging in spirited, but high minded, debate.

HWC...American1989...PrisonBreak...AreYo uReady--I hope never to see you all again.

I'm outta here!

Are You Ready/Prison Break...why haven't you posted this???

Experience, we saw yesterday, is the current theme of the 2008 campaign, with Clinton trying to define (deify?) herself as the candidate most possessed of this quality--the candidate most prepared to lead and most capable of effecting change.

Yet a fissure seems to have erupted in the path she wished to lay, with Senator Obama questioning the fundamental virtue of that trait:

"Nobody had more experience than Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney and many of the people on this stage that authorized this war."

Experience, however, is not the primary question; rather, it seems to be serving as a proxy for a more primal quality we are desire in our leaders: judgment.  When Senator Clinton called Senator Obama "Naive and irresponsible," she wasn't attacking his experience, per se, but rather his judgment; she only used his limited time in office as support for her belief that he lacked the judgment to hold the presidency.
