Karl Rove on the Dems

Karl Rove, "the architect" of Bush's 2 victories, weighs in on the Democratic primary race, and as is often the case, makes a great deal of political sense. See his article summarizing the status of the Clinton-Obama race, in the online Wall Street Journal. He summarizes Clinton's problems:

Mrs. Clinton started as a deeply flawed candidate: the palpable and unpleasant sense of entitlement, the absence of a clear and optimistic message, the grating personality impatient to be done with the little people and overly eager for a return to power, real power, the phoniness and the exaggerations.

Then, calling Obama "the reborn Adlai Stevenson," he concludes:

Mr. Obama is near victory in the Democratic contest, but it is time for him to reset, freshen his message and say something new. His conduct in the last several weeks raises questions about whether, for all his talents, he is ready to be president.

Yes indeed, Democrats between a rock and a hard place, how sweet it is....
