Frank Rich, New York Times: "Experience, like nastiness, may prove a dead end...In 1960, the experience card was played by all comers against the young upstart senator from Massachusetts. In Iowa, LBJ went so far as to tell voters that they should vote for "a man with a little gray in his hair." But experience, Kennedy would memorably counter, "is like taillights on a boat which illuminate where we have been when we should be focusing on where we should be going."
Patrick Healy, New York Times: Obama "only needs to pass a gut check with enough voters on the experience issue, as Kennedy did. Or so he hopes."
