The Audacity of Survival (5.00 / 4) (#109)

BTD, concise and spot-on.  In such an asymmetric media environment, and with asymmetric rules - what's amazing is that Clinton has done so well, and is gaining momentum.  It's clear that Obama has only managed a close contest despite having structural advantages that should have given him a blowout.

The rabid anger against Clinton stems from the existence of a well-organized MSM/blog campaign to annihilate her - and the fact that she is still standing.  Dare I say - the "audacity" of survival?

"Will do anything" morphs to "fighter"(good quality in a President).

Tonya Harding (5.00 / 4) (#149)

The media also, blindly, that it was Obama who started the Tonya Harding memo so the new reference by an unnamed DNC person obviously came from them.

Obama: Not Going to Pull a Tonya Harding
December 28, 2007 7:49 AM

ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., told a crowd in Vinton, Iowa Thursday that he's not going to pull a Tonya Harding on his rival candidates.

"Folks said there's no way Obama has a chance unless he goes and kneecaps the person ahead of us, does a Tonya Harding," Obama joked, referring to the female skating champion who conspired to harm a competitor during the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.

"We decided that's not the kind of campaign we wanted to run," he said.

This comment itself of Obama's belies its own subject!
