Hillary Clinton, as we all know, says she's "battle scarred" and still fighting after 16 years of beef with the GOP. Her strategist Mark Penn yesterday sought to contrast that with Obama.
She has consistently shown an electoral resiliency in difficult situations that have made her a winner. Senator Obama has in fact never had a serious Republican challenger.
Who was that serious Republican challenger? Any one? Rick Lazio, the baby-faced Long Island Republican congressman who entered the race five months before election day when Giuliani dropped out? Or maybe Penn meant former Yonkers Mayor John Spencer, whom Clinton bested 67% to 31% in her 2006 reelection fight?
