It is not for nothing that Senator Obama remarks on the heavy-handedness of the Clinton approach to health care.
This emerging Obama majority may also prove amenable to working with Republicans in the Congress, loosed from the myopic focus of social conservatives, in other important areas of policy.
Across the board, younger Americans do not feel threatened by immigration and the increasingly multi-ethnic and multi-cultural face of the America of the 21st Century.
And while senators may pat themselves on the back for an energy bill that mandates automobile mileage standards that will in fifteen years put the United States where Europe is today, these younger voters may prove more imaginative and demanding than Senator Clinton’s generation has proved to be in dealing with the related problems of U.S. energy policy and global climate change.
This generation of young Americans encompasses a higher percentage of college educated citizens than any previous generation, and they are far more connected to the wider world than any previous generation of Americans.
Republican strategists and party leaders are said to prefer, almost relish the prospect of a Clinton nomination, all those negatives to exploit. But that would almost certainly insure one more campaign and one more presidency wedded to the status quo of recrimination and stalemate, whoever is elected in November.
Democrats yet to vote in the primaries remaining and the so-called Super Delegates may prove wiser than that.
