...made her out to be a Big Sister--like totalitarian. Viral-video chanteuse Obama Girl expressed her love for him in song and across the back of her hot pants. And will. i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, with a host of singer and actor buddies, set an Obama speech to music in the Yes, We Can music video. Meanwhile, Clinton, after kicking off last summer with a sharp Sopranos-parody video, has made do with a lame Behind the Music spoof--released by her own campaign, the equivalent of taking your brother to the prom...

And there, hundreds of placards emblazoned "Change We Can Believe In" popped up from a crowd estimated between 15,000 and 20,000. Obama spun his magic in an hourlong speech that was lacking the wonkish details about nuclear proliferation and educational testing offered by Bill Clinton. The crowd was enthralled if not inspired...
