We talk about Barack’s charisma, style,
and rhetoric, his new approach to politics,
all the young voters he attracted. We note
that Hillary took too long to find her voice,
never explained her vote for the Iraq war,
couldn’t keep her husband under control.

The truth is, Obama’s message wasn’t better.
Her campaign wasn’t weaker. He won an even
race by going after caucuses she ignored
and recognizing delegates would be allocated
proportionately. We don’t want to admit it,
but he outsmarted our best white politician.
