If there is one advantage to the protracted campaign of this
strangest of elections, its that weve gotten to see how either of
the Democratic candidates perform under fire.
This is particularly true of Barack Obama, who has had to face
hostile fire, not only from the far right, but from the sad joke that
is known as the mainstream media and the Clinton campaign. So far,
its been harsh, but not beyond the normal boundaries of roughhouse
presidential politics. Later this summer, when the right wing
smear-and-hate machine kicks in with the cheerful acquiescence of the
mainstream media, acting as an echo chamber, it will get far worse.
But both Democratic candidates have demonstrated that they can fight.
