Hillary's Inconvenient Truth
Hillary Clinton has no realistic path to the pledged delegate lead, and lacks any persuasive argument to convince superdelegates to fall in line. And yet, she continues.

It will be difficult, the media argues, for Obama to repudiate Hillary's attacks without appearing to have abdicated the high ground.

Of the many strange spins the Clinton campaign has sold the media, few are as troubling as the idea that she is the stronger general election candidate.

Note to presidential advisers: Please tell it from the memo, not from the heart. We Americans are too frail and easily offended to handle unscripted, candid comments.

I got off the airplane at LAX, collected my bags, and eventually stepped through the sliding glass doors onto the sidewalk.

If you continue to hit back, you're sacrificing what makes you distinct from most politicians -- that refusal to turn politics into a brutal zero sum game.

The racism in Ohio was already in place, but Hillary Clinton's negative campaigning brought it into play to a greater degree than in other states.

The Democrats turn themselves inside out trying to look democratic while in actuality their convoluted rules shore up the entrenched power of the party operatives as much as the Republicans.

If politicians are rewarded for lying about their record on the war and on globalization, they will feel emboldened to keep lying when those rhetorical debates turn into legislative negotiations.

Voters are looking for big ideas much more than the typically cautious, incremental change at the margins that is usually offered up at campaign time.

The victories in Texas and Ohio, coupled with the wins in California, and New York prove one thing and that's that Clinton can win the big states.

Hillary's spin, and the media adoption of that spin, will do little to change a stark reality this morning: Hillary Clinton cannot win the Democratic nomination.

Can you imagine Barack dropping out if the situation was reversed? No, you'd be hearing "Yes We Can!" chanted fervently all over Wyoming and Pennsylvania. So just cut it out.

Everyone is trying to scramble to explain Hillary Clinton's turnaround tonight. Negative campaigning. Aggressivness. Elbow grease. NAFTA. Rezko. Saturday Night Live. Lots of stuff.

Would someone please tell Hillary that she can't win on delegates and this is only going to help the Republicans? Please?

Hillary has handed the Republican nominee a soundbite he can play over and over and over again. And this is someone who has professed as her goal to beat the Republicans at all costs.

We can be sure that in the coming general election the Republicans will once again trot out Rovian anti-abortion, anti-gay issues to whip Catholics into line.

The debate over whether Al Qaeda is or is not in Iraq misses the broader point of what Republicans will charge a U.S. withdrawal under a Democratic president may portend for Iraq.

How does this would-be leader respond to the overwhelming passion exhibited by those who seek hope and change? It began when she called it "false hope," and continued as she ridiculed her opponent and his supporters.

After failing to connect with voters on the experience argument, the Clinton campaign should have either switched messages or done a better job of articulating their current one.
Jennifer Nix | Posted 03.03.2008 | Politics
With Clinton's inevitability turned to dust and her losses in 11 straight contests pointing to the likely end of her campaign, her staffers are busying themselves with ominous tasks to fend off the shock.
Paul Jenkins | Posted 03.02.2008 | Politics
The media continue to portray Clinton as strongly viable, if not quite the frontrunner. This is a remarkable feat by her campaign, and a failure by journalists to accurately portray the state of the race.
