It isn’t an entirely fair or accurate argument — Bill Clinton was a six-term governor of Arkansas in 1992, only inexperienced compared to George Bush and Bob Dole — but it is the best argument to be made. Clinton beat two American patriots who were older than him, trumping them on bread-and-butter issues, and proved experienced enough to be considered a successful president by millions (though I disagree with that judgment too). But the best thing Obama can do is turn himself into Clinton and McCain into Bush/Dole. Bill proved tonight that he is still the real political talent in the Clinton family.
