Funny Playground Analogy of this Primary
Barack Obama is nobody's fool. He knows you can't hit back as long as a "girl" is in the fight. Nor could any of the primary race "boys," which may explain why the Democratic primary went along for so many months with hardly any dirty politics. It was a clean and polite affair, till the "girl" faltered unexpectedly, a few times, in plain sight. As the skinny kid kept running up points, she decided she had to heat up the fight.

So Barack Obama didn't hit back or kick dirt, even when she triple-double-dared him to. He just went about his business. He campaigned. He won primaries. He won caucuses. He won delegates. He raised buckets of money, just offering to clean up the playground. And he played by the rules. No secret punches or hair-pulling.

Now, Hillary says the game has changed. It was really never about anything that happened over the last year or so of play. It's about who can beat up big Johnny McCain -- the fearsome playground bully lurking around the corner. But can she get away with that?
