Two Mozarts
I found this quote about Hillary Clinton from Andrew Sullivan to be quite interesting: "But this is history and politics at the highest level. You cannot defeat such a moment if you are a Salieri. And she had to deal with two Mozarts."
I came of age politically with Bill Clinton, and perhaps because of that, it has surprised me at times when the politician that Obama reminds me the most of....was Bill Clinton of 1992.
My impression was that Hillary Clinton had a campaign strategy that would beat a variety of different candidates without as much name recognition quickly -- but not the avalanche that the Obama campaign has become.
