Political bits

(Politico) Bill Clinton is getting knocked around for his "misstatements" yesterday defending Hillary Clinton's in the Bosnia sniper fire thing. (Sometimes it seems like subconsciously he wants to undermine her.)

(WaPo) A frontpager on how some of Obama's donors are actually big donors and bundlers. (Am I supposed to be shocked?)

(PhilDailyNews) Clinton introduces crimefighting plan. (Traditionally used to target white middle class voters like those in the battleground of Pa.)

And, keep an eye on the "add-on" superdelegates (Obama +4, Clinton +1 yesterday.) This is a relatively big story, about 80 delegates, that isn't getting much press.

Their convention votes count just as much, and the they are likely to break even or more to Obama. They are likely to substantially shift the delegate/superdelegate math.

    And we all know what that thats code for... Yes, I see race everywhere. Clinton's best hope in PA is to kindle and leverage the racism of the rural, Appalachian, white working class. And we all know who the "criminals" are...

  • That's what I was trying to imply.

    But, on the other hand, Bill Clinton ran a very similar program (COPS, maybe?) that was very successful.

    The program is a solid idea, the timing is a little funny.

  • Yes. It's possible to do a good thing, but give a wink-and-a-nod to darker side of American prejudice.

    I'm already over the edge when it comes to trusting the Clintons. I may like the policy words I hear from the Clintons, but trust.... fool me once, cain't be fooled ag'in.

  • I know. On the race stuff, so am I. Just too long a track record.
