Soft Rice, part 2

February 20, 2008 Posted by Scott at 8:01 PM

Mike Allen reports on the Obama campaign's response to Senator McCain's shot at Obama last night:

Showing a new aggressiveness and focus on Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) as the likely Republican nominee, the Obama campaign held a conference call with foreign policy adviser Susan Rice to “respond to Sen. McCain’s foreign policy attacks on Barack Obama.”

Rice called the argument that Obama lacked experience "specious."

"He's shown the judgment that's necessary, and that's what we need," Rice said.

In addition to her own failings as a foreign policy advisor, Rice is a little lacking in the argument department. Of course, Rice is also handicapped by the fact that she doesn't have much material with which to work.

PAUL adds: That's quite an endorsement. No doubt Rice gives Obama high marks for having the good judgment to pick her as his adviser.

The Obama campaign looks set to give children's crusades a bad name.
