    You can't call yourself the experienced candidate in the primary and then hope that John McCain won't throw those words back in your face, which is why Obama was the smarter one, he co-opted himself as the "change" candidate and forced Clinton (in the primary) and McCain to be the past and continuations of the status quo (which, right now, is really bad). That's the key difference here, and it's why Hillary Clinton has struggled since the Iowa caucus.
