Morris: Obama = un-Hillary

Dick Morris may not be someone you want dating your daughter, but he does know politics. Writing in the New York Post online, Morris and colleague Eileen McGann demonstrate that Barack Obama is "the un-Hillary." Given her high negatives among Democrats, that is not a bad place to be in the race for the Democratic nomination.

In a recent Move-On online poll, Hillary Clinton came in last in response to the question "Which contender for the Democratic nomination could do the best job of getting the U.S. out of Iraq?" She was bested by Obama, Edwards, Kucinich, and Richardson in that order. Today, it appears likely that this anti-war issue will be important to Democratic primary voters.
