Bitter Pills
For Clinton, the odds are the incident is too late to save her candidacy. But more Bittergates would increase her chances…

Barack Obama may be the fulfillment of modern liberalism.
Will the Democrats nominate yet another out-of-touch elitist?
The Democrats are doing a fine job of helping McCain get to the White House.
It was said behind closed doors to the chablis-and-brie set of San Francisco, in response to a question as to why he was not doing better in that benighted and barbarous land they call Pennsylvania.
Barack Obama’s going to be the bitter one at the end of this.
By calling small-town Americans “bitter,” Obama has deepened a long-standing rift in the Democratic base. The party’s success in November depends on healing it.
Is Barack Obama’s small-town America really a land of bitter gun-toting, Bible-thumping racists? Or are they just God-fearing American patriots? Maybe we should ask his “typical white” grandmother.
Democrats—all but committed to this fresh, charismatic figure—are forced to deny or downplay the almost daily revelations about Obama that would have derailed less promising candidates already.
There are so many problems with Barack Obama’s comments about small-town America, it’s hard to know where to begin.
Barack Obama should be advised to meet as often as possible with skeptical, and even hostile, working people in Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
The secret story of how Obama’s gaffe made its way to the Huffington Post, of all places, and how it might affect campaign coverage from now on.
Obama’s view of America and Americans is almost unremittingly bleak.
I’m looking forward to seeing what Hillary will be able to do in tomorrow’s debate. Will he attacks hit the mark or will the liberal urge to defend Obama at all costs backfire on her in the form of familiar boos from the crowd?
My guess is that if he successfully fends off Hillary’s attacks in the debate the press will start “moving on” just like they did with the Rev. Wright comments. Sorry lib media, this sort of thing won’t be swept away in the general.
Two things…
One, they definitely can’t keep deflecting this sort of honest criticism and inquiry into Obama’s character, quickly replacing it with the next talking point on Clinton
Two, Obama’s a freshman
I guess it’s only natural that someone who goes to “church” for a heaping helping of bitterness, hatred and scapegoating assumes everyone else does as well.
Great point Buzz.
I’m tired of all the narrow-minded, rigidly ideological pseudo intellectuals surrounding Bay Area University campuses trenchantly clinging to their mordant Atheism and ivory towers when they don’t get tenure or venture capital - they need a paradigm shift.
