What Pennsylvania tells us
Obama's still struggling with white working-class voters. There's still time for him to deal with it -- but Clinton just bought herself some time, too.
Joan Walsh [2008-04-23]

  • Good? Bloodletting is good??

    No, this is NOT "good". Not for the candidates, not for the party, and surely not for the country.

    This protracted battle hasn't helped either side. Hillary (with a generous assist from the press) has successfully painted Obama as an effete snob, essentially destroying any chance he has of winning the rust belt in November. And by running the campaign she has, she's made sure there's no way on earth I could vote for her without getting a case of the dry heaves (I'd still vote for her, btw, but goddamn if I wont hate every second of it.)

    Please explain again how any of this is "good". What new and perverse definition of the word are you using??
