If Hillary Clinton tries (and no doubt she will) to score points this evening, she will just end up making herself look rediculous. The longer this goes on the clearer Barack Obama's central point becomes, more people agree with him. We're left with Obama furthering the discussion and Clinton looking desperate. What certainly could have been a disaster might turn and become an asset.
In the general election? A confused, economically clueless John McCain dragging around his brittle, drug-addled money-bags trophy wife (not to mention his nine homes) certainly will have a hard time making the "elitist" slur stick.
Obama's unfortunately artless comment, in the end, might be his open door to John Edwards' territory.
