Hillary vs. Obama, the last word?

I've talked about Dick Morris's view before on the Hillary/Obama foreign leaders imbroglio. He writes this week:

The polling is in and Hillary made a big mistake in her sharp disagreement with Obama over whether the president should meet with leaders of rogue nations. According to the Rasmussen Poll, Democrats agree with Obama over Hillary by 55%-22%. Without a poll to pretest her comments, Hillary instinctively took the “insider” position that the president should only meet with such leaders after extensive probing by subordinates to assure that the meetings would be productive. But she was wrong. Democrats want the president to meet with leaders of such nations without pre conditions.

Very interesting polling results, but Morris might be over-interpreting them. For this reason: the rank-and-file Democrats do not matter at this point. I've talked about this in the context of Jay Cost's excellent post claiming that the campaigns at this point are restricted to elite opinion. And that's the audience Hillary is reaching. The way for her to knock off Obama is for him to begin to be portrayed as too inexperienced for the Presidency. That has not happened yet. No one in the media has really pounded this angle yet. It will happen at some point. But Hillary certainly did land a blow--it's a blow because it hits Obama where he's weak, and gets everyone thinking about him in terms of the qualifications issue. But Obama hit back, and these polls show his position is not one to back down from.
