Throughout the course of the contest between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the title of Democratic nominee, a lot is being made on how it will effect the nominee in the Fall. The mudslinging, the name-calling, the shots at experience and policy- for the most part, it appeared that the punches thrown could do nothing but hobble the eventual nominee.
However, I believe her decision to stay in the race will only make Sen. Obama stronger. By the time he is chosen as the Democratic nominee he will be ready for Sen. John McCain. This tough contest with Clinton has sharpen Obama's policy ideas and speeches therefore making him a better candidate.
