Ed Morrissey is shocked--shocked!--that Barack Obama, a presidential candidate "with an entire two years of experience in national office turns out to be a policy lightweight. Who'd a-thunk it? It had to hurt that Obama got compared to John Edwards, widely considered an empty suit himself, and found wanting".

On the other hand, as Jim Geraghty recently noted, "Hillary has de facto experience on Bill’s bids, and the 1992 campaign has to rank as one of the all-time chaotic campaigns (Gennifer Flowers, 'I didn’t inhale,' draft dodging, etc.)." That, and the tailwind the media will build for her should serve her quite well this time around.

Update: Or not...
