"I'll tell you what I like about Obama, which is connected with the book. He really doesn't like to surround himself only with like-minded others. He really is someone who has never lived and wouldn't live in an echo chamber. His great skepticism about the red state, blue state divide is just the thought that no particular party has a monopoly on wisdom. He has an amazing line in the "Audacity of Hope" where he says, roughly, there are feminists in the United States who mourn their own abortions, and there are conservative women who have paid for their friends' daughters' abortions. And the reason I think this is so great is that it breaks down a sense that Americans come in two types."
-- Cass Sunstein
But is he too naive to play power-politics on the world stage? Or even on the national stage? It is not just about being the best debater and the best mannered and most open, or having the most inspiring message.
Such is the virtue of Hillary. She is one worldly tough bitch, already seasoned by two terms in the White House. Of course, some would say that such Washington experience is the problem, but is this really the time for experimentation? It is enough to change from Bush and the Republicans.
