As deflated as I may sound, no, I haven't abandoned the notion that this country may in fact be on the verge of growing up just a little bit. I've been astonished at what we've seen thusfar, and continue to pinch myself when witnessing Obama's ascendancy. After all, it was only a very short time ago that he was a distant dark horse, when Hillary's lead seemed insurmountable and he didn't even receive a majority of African-American support. Here, in the moment, it's hard to discern what real effect the right-wing echo chamber is having on voters, and I may find myself astonished yet again.
There is one other element to this story that I also find astonishing, but not in a positive way. Does no one else find it remarkable, if not quite incomprehensible, that Hillary chose the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review - a right-wing rag owned by Richard Mellon Scaife - to make these comments? And that Scaife was actually sitting at the table?
Is there anyone who more personifies the "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" than this man? He of the "Arkansas Project"? And "The American Spectator"? I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't understand. My mind reels.
