    Obama is shaking "Bittergate," Joan

    Obama is having trouble shaking "Bittergate" because it seems to confirm a couple of worries about him: One, that he's a terrific but untested politician who's gotten a remarkably easy ride from the media, and might stumble more in a long, tough race.

    Obama continues to gain on Clinton in the polls. He continues to outpoll Clinton versus McCain in the general election. The only place where Obama can't "shake" this latest ____-gate is in the fevered mind of navel-gazing pundits like yourself.
