I'm still undecided, favoring Clinton on domestic issues and Obama on foreign policy and integrity. I will happily support the nominee, but my biggest fear is that the party will not unite when it is over. HP, I have to agree with a lot of what you say.

He works harder than most people, but a couple of examples: his law review volume is the least cited law review volume of any of Harvard's Law Reviews in the last 30 years. He was known there as being "laid back." He said himself that he was not interested in bureaucracy and would "delegate" a lot of the administrative work. As an executive, you do have to delegate, but you have to be the bureaucrat in chief. Look how tired he looks compared to Clinton, who also looks tired but seems very upbeat. Obama did not prepare for the debate on ABC (not matter what you think about the questions, he wasn't ready to answer them). I do not find this pattern surprising. I posted an op-ed on my site that I did not write. It is called "The Audacity of Hype" and was written before Obama rose to his peak. He makes a good case that Obama is not that hard a worker. Now, I am a Clinton supporter, but I am not an Obama-hater. One reason I made my choice is policy, and his seem less well developed than hers, to me, and that also is a function of work.
