Milbank: Team Clinton: Down, and Out of Touch

Holy Crap. I'm sure that this is all silly season stuff, but holy crap. I hope that this level of confusion, panic, and general disorder translates in the debate tonight.

who went negative first

This transcript (with audio) is laughable.


Quite Dave, don't give away the secret!

Nice and succinct encapsulation of the state of the blogging union, from one of my favorites, Dave Pell. I wish he didn't give away the secret sauce with number two. Also, I'd add a 4th bullet - that our favorite images are of pets, naked people, injuries and wierd food.


Yowzers.

Are you kidding me?

I fail to see how this photo is meant to discredit Obama. That being said, Shame On You, Hillary Clinton.



Update: Nice photos of Bill, Hillary and W in local attire at the bottom of Drudge's original post.

The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan

Andrew Sullivan has an interesting, if prematurely gleeful, commentary on the failures of the Clinton campaign
How did they come this close to losing this? They had all the money, all the contacts, all the machine levers, the entire establishment, the biggest Democratic name in decades, and they've been forced into a humiliating death-match by a first-term black liberal with a funny name. It seems obvious to me that the Clintons blew this because they never for a second imagined they could. So they never planned to fight it. Once put in a fair contest, they turned out to be terrible campaigners, terrible politicians, bad managers, useless executives, wooden public speakers. If you're a Democrat, that's good to know, isn't it? All that bullshit about Day One and experience? In retrospect: laughable.

What If?

Eugene Robinson's ruminations on what sorts of questions Barack would be having to answer if roles were reversed.
What would the conventional wisdom say? That it was over, of course [Hillary's chances]. That Obama was toast. That staking everything on the March 4 primaries in Ohio and Texas was a starry-eyed hope, not a plan, and that it was time to smell the coffee.
My take is that he's probably right, but given that the superdelegates are valid voters in the nominating process, a last ditch effort to shift momentum before any of them have to make a choice probably makes some sense given that she's, arguably, the "establishment" candidate.

This is hilarious, looks like Mira in 2 years.

Best line: "Don't talk back to Darth Vader. He'll get ya."
