I came across to an interesting article on the Guardian, with the Title “Whether Clinton, Obama or McCain wins it, prepare for a big letdown.”
After Clinton won Pennsylvania primary, many predicted that this is a good thing for McCain. Because Hillary did well enough to stay in the race, but not so well as to start swinging it the other way. And voters started to question Obama’s political experience and real ability compare to his perfect speech. People are questioning whether he could fulfill 1/10 of what he promised during his speech.
Interestingly, in the article, suppose Obama wins, “Well, people around the world would be thrilled – and filled with hope. That would be his first problem. The worldwide expectations are so high that they can’t possibly be fulfilled, any more than Princess Diana could return to being an ordinary human being. ”
“If McCain and Clinton have question marks over their experience of government, they look like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln compared with Obama. His inexperience has showed on the hustings, and it would show even more in the Oval Office. He has never run any big organisation; now he would step into the biggest.”
And to McCain, the writer describes him as “His mindset is of his age: in Iraq, he is in some deeper sense still fighting Vietnam. And he is a very American hero. His appeal across the seas is distinctly limited.”
And what if Hillary wins, the writer seems to select Mrs Clinton as his favorate one to win. “I continue to believe that Clinton is better equipped to be a good president for this time. Despite her recent braggadocio about Iran (”we would be able to totally obliterate them”), I think she has the temperament, experience and mindset to be what the world needs in Washington for the next four years”
After the pennsylvania primary, more and more people turned out to believe that Hillary has a big chance to win more support from superdelegates. For Obama still can’t win more support in the big states, and for Hillary, the unconventional first lady, is really tough to deal with. Hillary Clinton’s most striking feature is her tenacity. She never quits. And between Super Tuesday and Pennsylvania, Hillary tries to brand herself not as the one all people like , but the one people trust more in the White House.
