I have been following your caucasus and primary voting with great interest and purely from an outsider's view, I think Senator Clinton is speaking the truth when she emphasises her professionalism and experience as a sophisticated politician. However, maybe this is her problem. Senator Obama may not be as experienced, but although highly articulate and poised, he is not the stereotypical airbrushed U.S. politician, but basically a breath of fresh air to an electorate that may feel tired and jaded. He connects with people none of whom are naive enough to think he has a magic wand to make everyone's wishes come true. If the American people vote for him as their new president, I think he will help restore their boundless hope and energy and improve the U.S.'s image abroad.
