Clinton West Virginia Win Portrayed As Irrelevant
Sen. Hillary Clinton scored one of the biggest victories of the Democratic primary yesterday, defeating Sen. Barack Obama 67%-26% (with John Edwards, long out of the contest, pulling 7%). However, the consensus in the media this morning is that the victory means little, because Obama has already effectively sewn [...]
“I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,” she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article “that found how Sen. Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were [...]

We all have stories like this:
My friend L. recently quit a high-pressure job after 20 years to help her husband out in his solo architecture practice. She had insurance for herself, her husband and the kids through her job, so after resigning she paid for COBRA while she waited for her family to be [...]

Not to be too snarky, but according to the AP, Clinton won 82 of 158 delegates allocated by the PA primary: a whopping 52%.

From TPM comes the latest Reuters/Zogby Poll, showing McCain within reach of the brass ring:
Republican presidential candidate John McCain runs even with Democratic rival Barack Obama and narrowly leads Hillary Clinton in potential match-ups in November, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released Wednesday.

Evidently, torture plans being scripted in the Oval Office are not sufficient campaign fodder for this Democratic presidential candidate. No, no, no: a verbal misstep by her opponent is so important that it needs to be the centerpiece of a last-minute ad:
TITLE: “Pennsylvania”
LENGTH: 30 seconds.
AIRING: Pennsylvania.
SCRIPT: Clinton: “I’m Hillary Clinton and I approve this [...]
From the Guardian:
The verbal battle between the Democratic presidential hopefuls intensified yesterday, with Hillary Clinton accusing Barack Obama of being “elitist and out of touch”.
Clinton was trying to keep Obama’s bungled comments on small town America in the news, while Obama struck back at her over her stance on gun laws.

At the first opportunity, Clinton [...]
Image from WikipediaReceived this email from a friend I have known since 2nd grade (47 years). Now 47 years is too long a time to hold someone’s political persuasion against them. But the rigmarole I found is this email that he forwarded to me this morning astounded me:
Are you a Republican or Democrat? [...]
