Clinton notches another do-or-die big-state win in Pennsylvania. Which is more troubling for Democrats -- her scorched-earth tactics or Obama's failure to build on his base?
  • Clinton Talking Points

    The title of the piece shows that just as the MSM has absorbed Rovian talking points, some Salonistas are Clintonian ventriloquist's dummies.

    "Close the deal"? Clinton had been for more than a year the inevitable candidate marching to coronation. She had everything: the name recognition, the experience, the husband, the fervent support among unions and women, and the juggernaut money machine. Obama may be in the lead but he is the challenger, has been, always will be. Has any challenger ever done so well? That's the standard to hold him to. Gary Hart? Ted Kennedy? I am amazed and thrilled that he has done this well against a Democratic icon.
