The recent gaffe by Mr. Obama about rural Pennsylvanians is either do to being out of touch or being inexperienced or a combination of both. I think it is both, and this leads me to wonder what the GOP will do to him if he continues with rookie statements.
Karl Rove is already salivating at the notion that Mr. Obama will be the candidate. Not to say that Mrs. Clinton wouldn't be a good target for Rove, but admittedly she has been tested and has that pit bull on her side; Bill.
Mr. Obama has not be tested in the national arena. By saying that this primary process is preparing him for the GOP onslaught is a fallacy. With the little attacks that his campaign has claimed the Clinton's have done will be nothing compared to what the GOP attack machine will do. He can't be a cry baby when attacked and always claim racism and/or he can't always make a shoot from the hip rebuttal without preparing. That is when he makes his rookie mistakes and give the opposition amo.
Well if he (Obama) is the candidate, I just hope he learns how to weather the storm. I feel that his preacher like persona has a thin skin because he has never had to handle attacks in a campaign. His last big opponent Alan Keyes was and is a light weight in that regard.
Maybe there are some things that Mr. Obama could learn from Mrs. Clinton - whether he wants to or not...... Toughness......
