Knives Come Out on the Clinton Campaign

Yikes. Judging from the New York Observer the last few days, it's safe to say that things are going to get ugly if the Clinton campaign goes into a death spiral in the next few weeks. For a preview of the anonymous jabs that Clinton insiders will likely take at their leadership, see this article on Mark Penn. The more courageous critics, who are willing to go on the record, will likely be like Leon Panetta — one step removed from the campaign and secure in their careers. Here are Leon's thoughts.

And while we're on the topic of news articles that are rough on the candidates, take a look at George Will's devastating take on John McCain from today's WaPo. No liberal could say it better.

My hope is that whoever wins next week does it in a devastatingly major way. If not, the ugliness of the past week or so will only get worse.

I've really hit the ceiling on my ability to handle this publication's anti-Clinton slant. Do you even read your blog posts and listen to yourselves? This is the furthest thing from objective journalism, which, clearly, you weren't even aiming for. Having both Clinton and Obama -- revolutionary candidates in each's own right -- campaigning for the nomination is the best thing that ever happened to strengthen the Democratic party. It's a shame to me that the leftist media can't see that and instead feels the need to side with one of them, effectively splintering what had the potential to become a powerhouse of a party for the first time in decades. The liberal media is failing the party and showing its true colors as just another arm of the patriarchy and all the prejudice and subjugation it represents after all.

Abny, seriously? Seriously? Revolutionary? Neither candidate takes 'revolutionary' positions. Because one has dark skin and the other has a vagina? That's like saying Condoleeza Rice is super REVOLUTIONARY because she's both. MoJo, while sadly supporting Obama, is pushing the more left candidate, and in effect, attempting to push the Democratic party a bit further away from the center that it's been on.
