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.

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,

  • Look, Billy, I’m somewhat sympathetic to the argument, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that they went to this place with the specific goal in mind of pissing off the constabulary. To what end? Don’t tell me

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.
