Party Unity!!

I’ve been trying to ignore the latest outbreak of Clintonian petulance and the media’s overreaction to it, so I’ll leave it Al Giordano to tell it like it is.

Obama is farther ahead winning over Clinton supporters than she is toward gaining the good will of Obama supporters, particularly of the younger generations that weren’t old enough to vote during the Clinton era and were never bedazzled by them to begin with. One major misstep or sloppy moment on her part in Denver and the easy play for the Obama campaign would be to use her – and the Clinton legacy – as a handkerchief into which to blow its nose: a signal to Independent voters out there that there’s a new sheriff in town and to get out their pitchforks and torches and join the posse.

And now back to taking the high road.
