Today MoDo touches on a subject that I'm very interested in: the power of humor. She notes that in 2008 "John McCain will dribble Hillary Clinton's head down the court like a basketball."Better Candidates?
While acknowledging that Barack Obama is young (44) and green (less than 2 years in the Senate), she praises his smooth and funny performance at the Gridiron dinner. (For example: he advised W. to "spy on the Weather Channel, and find out when big storms are coming.")
She notes that is took Bill Clinton years to get the speech right but W. was a laugh riot from the get-go. So despite Obama's shortcomings, his ability to "fill a room" with intelligence, grace and humor might make him the best candidate in 2008.
Oh, and as far as the age thing--JFK "was 43 when he became president."
