Allen,

<< I am able to grasp the idea of a metaphor. I realize that he did not mean to convey the information that Hillary Clinton has three testicles, whereas Barack Obama has only one. After all, how would Carville know that about Obama?>>

Don't start any rumors ;-).

<<It's also fatuous to suggest that Obama isn't tough enough to deal with the rough territory of the Presidency.>>

I don't see how you can tell if Obama is or isn't tough enough to deal with the rough territory of the Presidency. He is an untested quantity here.

<<There are people who go around looking for fights. They always seem to be able to find them. We don't need such people at the top of the Executive Branch of our government.>>

I agree with what you say here. But being tough doesn't mean that you get into fights. Lots of times, being tough(and maybe the correct word should be tenacious since all these negative connotations are being attached to the word tough) can help you avoid fights.
