Clinton Bashing
The author's preference for Obama over Clinton is obvious, and makes this article invaluable. For instance, South Carolina is not going to "determine" the race. Clinton leads in Michigan and Nevada, both of which will be decided before South Carolina, and the votes of which dward South Carolina. After that, Clinton leads dramatically in polls in the Super Tuesday states. As another example, the characterization of Clinton's cool and masterly handling of (admirably tough) Tim Russert on Meet the Press shows a laughably biased characterization of her comments as defensive. She's not defensive--She's in charge, and the Obama camp is melting down. Let's be clear--Obama's campaign is bloody on the ropes. It has adopted desperate and divisive strategies, including statements by disappointed New Hampshire Obama operatives that Obama supporters might "stay home" on election day rather than vote for Hillary. This is a campaign with the stink of death on it. I think that Obama himself is an attractive candidate--But he'd better adopt smarter campaign tactics, or he'll become an uninteresting political footnote by February 5.
