Wow, we've got Theda Skocpol commenting! I've got to second a comment from another poster that the TPM comments section is one of the best developments of this campaign season.

Dear Mr. Strat,

Your claim that Obama supporters are attracted by his "shallowness" and that he cannot compete with Clinton on substance is patently absurd. My sense is that Obama supporters are very engaged with policy issues and look at his foresight on Iraq, as well as his demonstrated commitment to steer clear of Washington lobbyists, as evidence that (1) he is a Democrat who won't play the republican-lite DLC triangulation that has led to Democratic incompetence the last twenty years and (2) that he has the ability to offer commonsense to our body politic.

Dear AJM,

Comparing Obama to Bush is silly. On arguably the most important issue of the day, Iraq, Obama was right and Hillary was wrong. I'd encourage you to try and deepen your understanding of politics and base your decisions on more than electioneering.
