Obama vs. Clinton: The Post-Campaign Press

For the past week, since Senator Clinton's withdrawal from the race this past weekend started to be widely predicted, we've been inundated with the pundits' points of view on what went right and what went wrong in the Obama and Clinton campaigns over the past few months. (Obviously, given that Senator Obama's Web site is built on the BSD Online Tools, we have plenty of reasons to have opinions of our own.)

Amid this tidal wave of opinion and information, here are some of the stories that we think provide more useful information per column-inch than the average.

• Chris Cilizza, "What Went Right for Obama," washingtonpost.com, June 5, 2008
• Peter Baker and Jim Rutenberg, "The Long Road to a Clinton Exit," The New York Times, June 8, 2008 (free nytimes.com registration required)
• Antony Young, "Hillary vs. Barack: Who Had the Smartest Media Strategy," Advertising Age, June 4, 2008

We also call your attention to Matthew Mosk's "Obama Rewriting Rules for Raising Campaign Money Online," from The Washington Post, which (while brief) does a good job of evoking the hard work that the Obama campaign did behind the scenes to capture the attention of supporters via Google ads and other Internet channels, and bring those supporters into the fold by linking into deep content on their BSD-driven Web site.
