Clinton and Obama are Both "Losers"

That's the blunt assessment of Gerard Baker at the London Times.  He is merciless, especially regarding Obama's otherwise-widely-hailed speech on religion.  But I can't help thinking that he may have just said what American voters have been slowly realizing, even while the pundits don't quite say it.

Even in the midst of war, recession, declining American prestige, global warming and an international food crisis -- all of which have been created or at least exacerbated by Republican policies -- it may be a tough battle for the eventual Democratic candidate.
