Down Hillary

But don't try telling that to the BBC, which is barely reporting any other candidate (a bit of Obama and that's it) in New Hampshire. Yes, I know that the BBC has no influence over American politics. Of course it hasn't. But that's not the point.

I have been thinking about this "qualified" business. Clinton is no more "qualified" than Obama, unless these things are venereal, in which case the seeds of her husband's alleged greatness have been spread very far and wide indeed. But there have been few more "qualified" Presidents than the first George Bush, and he was not much better than his son, arguably the worst President ever, and easily the least "qualified".

Obama's real problem is that he does not appear to hold any political opinion whatever.
