HMM: “I think it is obvious that the superdelegates will pick Obama. They have their own self-interest to consider, not to mention the long-term interest of the party. The choice for Obama is clear â?? and it would be clear

I was just listening to a fairly uninspired discussion on NPR about race and the coverage of the Democratic primary (while driving to the airport). One interesting tidbit from the Washington Post’s Kevin Merida is that the Obama campaign has

Victor Davis Hanson pretty much agrees with my read of Clinton’s PA win last night:

Hillary won just enough to show that it is ludicrous to oust a 10-point winner at this late junction, but not quite the blow-out that

Sorry, but I’m not impressed with Hillary Clinton’s showing, last night. On that point let me stress that it doesn’t change much, in terms of the nomination and who gets it. She’s kept herself afloat, but that’s about it. 

Lest

You’ll forgive me if don’t bust a gut getting every breath of info out about the Clinton victory in PA tonight, given it was a done deal a week ago. The question becomes, though, by how much? And that question,

James Joyner, this morning:

Glenn Reynolds links, with praise, to an article about Hillary Clinton claiming that she would go to war with Iran if they attacked Israel.

Michelle makes a great point, this monring:

How dare the ABC moderators ask questions about topics that are, you know, topical?

How dare they ask questions that-gasp!-conservatives are asking.

How dare they explore questions of character, truthfulness, and

Hoo, Boy:

Barack Obama may have added more fuel to the fire for those who want to paint him as arrogant or elitist, praising himself Wednesday as “a pretty darn good politician.”

In a speech to Jewish community leaders in

After the debate last night, I noted a whole lot of traffic… all asking questions about Obama and Ayers, apparently following up on Hillary Clinton’s questions during the debate itself. (Yes, I know it was Stephy who asked the questions,

It is perhaps inspirational, that as I sit down and gather my thoughts, my MP3 player, on it’s own, comes up with Pat Metheny doing “It’s Just Talk” off 1987’s “Still Life (Talking)“. (The 1990 version, not the

Greg Sargent at TPM, yesterday:

Hillary chief strategist Geoffrey Garin dramatically raised the stakes in the battle over Barack Obama’s comments about small-town America, saying in an interview that they would be “damaging” to him in a general election, could

I blogged the other day that liberals don’t just hate their enemies, they hate anybody, and everybody, who they see standing between them and their power.    Now Paul Begela seemingly sets out to prove my point.  Sam Stein, Puffington Post

Mr. and Mrs. ClintonYou got to admit one thing about the Clintons.  They are persistent.   If their lies get exposed, they still keep on telling them.   In fact, Jake Tapper, ABC News, goes so far as to footnote, B.J.’s continuing lies about
