Adlai Stevenson-girl

56 år innan Obama-girl fanns Stevenson-girl, logiskt nog var ju också Adlai Stevenson 1950-talets Obama.

Charles Rangel, en av Hillary Clintons mest lojala supportrar, attackerar mediernas Obama-attacker:

”It’s disgraceful that he has to make any explanation for anything. The intrusion of the media and Republicans into the sacred relationship that worshipers have with their spiritual leaders I think is going to come back to haunt us. To think that we have to go into the lives and the beliefs of Rabbis and Priests and ministers and Imams is absolutely ridiculous. We’ve got a war on. We’ve got an economy that’s splintered. I think the media should be more responsible and start dealing with those issues. I don’t think many people care what reverend Wright thinks.”

Jag önskar att han hade rätt, men är rädd att han har fel.

Vi kör lite gammal hederlig Hillary-feelgood också. Så här kändes faktiskt hennes kampanj när den började: Tina Turners ”Simply the best”, horder av entusiastiska fans, fackföreningar, the night shift, 9 to 5. Ehrenreich-vänstern.
