Clinton gets her party started

Wins in Massachusetts, California and other big states, plus an uncommonly good speech by their candidate, made a New York Super Tuesday crowd very happy.

    Beating Expectations

    I think a lot of media types were expecting a Clinton defeat. The polls in California looked like they were being manufactured: Zogby's was misleading, to put it politely. They are at it again this morning. Nary a word about how the much touted Kennedy,Kerry and Dewal endorsements meant squat in Mass. It is going to be tough. Both candidates have their work cut out for them. But not to worry: our pundits will spin last night as an Obama victory: they are never wrong!
