A Pox On Both Their Houses

Hillary won Ohio in part by ginning up a fake controversy about Obama's credentials on NAFTA, after she worked on the agreement while she was in the White House with her husband.

Obama has apparently been instrumental in halting a proposed Michigan do-over primary, which would be crucial to establishing legitimacy for his primary victory.

Lest I forget this insanely dumb comment by a Clinton surrogate:

Next question to Kurtzer: Obama's assertion that he needn't have a "Likud view" -- that of Israel's right-wing party -- to be pro-Israel. Kurtzer explained that Obama wanted to see a "plurality of views." Silence in the room.

To that, Lewis retorted: "The role of the president of the United States is to support the decisions that are made by the people of Israel. It is not up to us to pick and choose from among the political parties." The audience members applauded.


Nobody's coming out of this primary smelling like a rose. The unforced errors that are damaging Democratic hopes in a year where the Republican brand is completely in the toilet really saddens me.
