Marc Andreessen on Obama

Netscape founder Marc Andreessen blogs on his 90 minute-long meeting with Barack Obama in 2007. I really advise reading the entire thing, as it's a really good analysis of Obama's character, but one passage really leapt out at me:

We asked him directly, how concerned should we be that you haven't had meaningful experience as an executive -- as a manager and leader of people?

He said, watch how I run my campaign -- you'll see my leadership skills in action.

As I've said before, if you want to see who is the stronger leader, you need only compare how the campaigns have been run so far. McCain and Clinton have both squandered huge amounts of cash, had high amounts of staff turnover and infighting and blew once-inevitable-looking leads early in the campaign. Obama's campaign, on the other hand, has been nearly flawless. What does that say about the comparative leadership styles?
