The Unavoidable Obsession with Hillary Clinton's Dead End
Submitted by pmcarpenter on Fri, 03/14/2008 - 8:54am.THE FIFTH COLUMNIST by P.M. Carpenter
The exposed hobbies of Eliot Spitzer served at least as a musical rest in our national cacophony of the quixotic. For 48 hours we collectively labored to imagine, in a kind of cost-benefit thought experiment, the professional joys of a $5,500-an-hour working girl versus the sure disappointment of a mere $3,500 expended.

Buzz this on Buzzflash.netThe Doom Behind Conventional Wisdom: Hillary Clinton and Her Suicide Pact

For online commentators there's no target quite like conventional wisdom to drive up readership. But often the urge to flout said conventional wisdom yields only pure crap, proving why the targeted wisdom was so conventional to begin with.
Were You Aware -- Uh, Clear the Throat --That Obama Is Black?

Another week, another diversionary flap over some slithering surrogate's depraved words, and another few delegates added to Barack Obama's unbeatable lead. This spectacle is down to a battle of the surrealists vs. the sure realists, but perhaps the latter should start reflecting the confidence of insurmountability.

OK, so maybe things seem "to just fester" under Hillary's "detached manager" style. And maybe she "delegated decisions large and small and deferred to advisers on critical questions" as her campaign was taking on water and swiftly sinking in the east, west, north and south.
It's Coming: Obama/Clinton

This comes from a gut feeling and scattered anecdotal evidence as much as hard facts, but I think the eventual denouement to the Democratic bloodbath is finally coming into focus: Well before the convention it will be Obama/Clinton -- assuming that, in the interlude, Hillary doesn't overplay her losing hand even more egregiously than she already has.

Obama vs. Clinton, Round ... ?

Although a trifle slow on the uptake, the Obama campaign is finally striking back. "Finally" may seem like an unsuitable word to use in the context of only a few days, but a few days in presidential campaigning can be tantamount to a geologic epoch in which evolutionary changes, Hobbesian-like, are swift, nasty and brutish.
