"He's got to go out there and take this from her," says a prominent strategist who is not affiliated with any candidate. "His is a subtle and nuanced campaign, and this is not a subtle and nuanced business." Going on the attack against Clinton, however, would undercut Obama's claim to be a different kind of politician.

...separates the best from the rest, and Survivor remains a constantly surprising and enthralling game, both socially and physically. Even after seven years, there's no clear single best way to win the political game: Is it better to be liked or respected, a master athlete or a master strategist?
