Baby Obama

The Obama campaign is really working on chipping away at Hillary Clinton's support among women.

Look at these photos:

Awww, he's adorable!

What's with this release of family photos of little Barack?

I bet this was Oprah's idea. Women love baby pictures.

Did this itty, bitty guy grow up to be the big boy Democrat nominee for president? Did he?

This one is a powerful image -- Baby Barack with his mom.

How will Hillary counter this? I wonder if her campaign will release some childhood photos of her.

A young Hillary playing with baby Chelsea would probably be better.

Childhood photos of Hillary would be a mistake. They would highlight her age. She wasn't a child in the 60s.

Hillary has to battle the image of Obama as a youthful, vibrant, JFK-esque candidate. That's his appeal.
