Obama's "Technical Capacity"

Sweet on the unofficial Obama campaign ad against Hillary. I posted the ad here. Tom Bevan, RCP Blog on Obama's "technical capacity". If he's deficient in that area, maybe he could use a little "magic".

Or maybe he could unleash that lethal charm.

It worked in New Hampshire. Sun Times (all Obama, all the time):

The crowd waited an hour for Obama to arrive and swarmed him for autographs before he spoke.

''By the way, you had us from your first hello,'' said Carol Thebarge, who went on to ask Obama about President Bush's plan to send more troops to Iraq.

But more astute observers have their doubts about Obama's capacity, technical or otherwise. Leon Wieseltier on Obama:

"Nobody ever charmed anybody out of a nuclear weapon."

UPDATE: Could be someone in Hillary's hometown of Park Ridge does not like her. Sounds like one of her classmates at Park Ridge High. FoxNews, via RCP:

The text to the right of the video says, "Make up your own mind. Decide for yourself who should be our next president." The ad's poster, named ParkRidge47, is anonymous except that he or she is listed as age 59.

Officials in the Illinois senator's camp say they have nothing to do with the ad. The Clinton campaign says it doesn't know where the ad came from and had no further official comment. But Clinton supporters are wondering aloud about the role of Obama's campaign even though they readily admit they have no evidence to support their suspicions apart from Obama's Web site being named at the end.

Some entertaining Dem infighting in Illinois.
