Well, despite Obama's loss in Pennsylvania, he is still looking like the favored candidate. But maybe not because he seems to strongest or most competitive. During crunch-time in Pennsylvania, he dined on waffles and Philly cheese steak sandwiches. His approach has been to be personable, and when he does that, it seems to work for him. The interesting thing about Obama is that he has a sort of underdog attitude, and Hillary has just been perpetuating it. In a New York Times article referring to Pennsylvania and Ohio, she said, "It’s very hard to imagine a Democrat getting to the White House without winning those states."
She's the strong, tough hard-on-everyone candidate. She's as tough on another Democrat as she is on McCain. Actually, she might be giving Obama an even harder time.
Obama, on the other hand, has been winning America's heart by being different. The fresh face of politics. And, quite frankly, Hillary's bullying might just make Obama even more appealing, as the underdog who just keeps getting pushed around by the Clintons.
But Maureen Dowd of The New York Times writes in her column that maybe this inability of Obama to assert himself could translate into his role in office. Would we really want a president who can be so easily pushed around by the big names in Washington?
