Frank Rich's Op-Ed

This graft at the end of Frank's Op-Ed today in the NYT is telling: "Richard Goodwin knew in 1960 that all it took was “a single significant failure” by Kennedy or “an act of political daring” by his opponents for his man to lose..."

Frank makes a good argument for trusting in the Obama movement. Goodwin was one of JFK's speechwriters, and for all the good points Frank makes, this is where my support of Hillary is founded.

Obama is inexperienced and not a particularly good debater, at least he hasn't shown it yet. Perhaps he will do better against an opponent is more unlike him, the closeness of his and Big Hill's positions are too close for his comfort. Obama directly attacked McCain, as noted by Frank, and he did hit well in that aspect. But, will Obama be able to take that to McCain when he debates him face-to-face?

We as a party, as a nation more-so, cannot afford to lose this fight, this election. My goodness if the Dems don't win here, when could the Dems win? But, didn't we say that in '04? Obama being so inexperienced could make a fatal error that costs the Dems a darn-near sure-fire win. Not that the Big Hill couldn't fuck up, but, she's less likely to do so in my view.

Tough call.
