'Good', the enemy of 'Great'

Supporters of Hillary Clinton are reading the writing on the wall and crying “foul”. They claim that Obama supporters attack Hillary unfairly and constitute a “cult of personality”. She is certainly a victim – but of fate alone. Unquestionably, she is better able to lead our nation than John McCain, who is apparently eager to continue Bush's disastrous policies. In an average election, she would have our votes. And voter turn-out would set record lows. But this is not an average election.

Senator Clinton's frustration is understandable. She is (relatively) charismatic, she can light up a (good size) room. But we're all adults here and we know that life ain't fair. Genius is a gift: all your hard work can only help you fulfill their potential. We all wish we could think like Einstein, act like Burton, speak like...Obama. The emergence of Barack Obama has made this a once-in-a-generation election.
