John Mark Reynolds on Barack Obama

John Mark Reynolds (a former Romney advocate who now appears to be solidly in McCain's corner) offers some insightful thoughts on Senator Obama and a suggested strategy to beat him. I completely agree with Reynolds' assessment that Hillary is finished:

"Against a weak field, cleared out for her, she failed. She is a phenomenally weak campaigner who is exhausted by crowds and people. She is smart, perhaps having the most book smarts in the race, but she has no “people intelligence.” She is MS-DOS in a suddenly Windows world."

Read the whole thing. Elsewhere, Reynolds speculates that if the surge really works (not just drastically reducing violence, but engendering political healing between the various Sunni and Shiite factions), McCain has a strong advantage over inexperienced Obama (who is probably a weak debater when pushed for details).
