Clinton’s Pennsylvania First!
The moment we’ve all been breathlessly prognosticating is nearly upon us. With this serious presidential primary nearly at hand, I’m not sure which NYT story depresses me more: Clinton trotting out Osama bin Laden or President Bush’s appearance on Deal or No Deal.
Let’s dispense with the first one. Clinton’s ad makes her the first Democrat to use bin Laden against an opponent. (But at least she’s being noted as first for something other than her gendered candidacy!)
I presume wolves and bears are in the queue.
I’ll leave the second article for a separate post as it’s likely to be long…
Update: In response to Clinton’s ad, the Obama campaign is pointing people to a 2004 Bill Clinton video where he urges voters to select a candidate that makes them think and hope over one that tries to scare them.
The Obama team is good, no doubt. But, man, they’re also really, really lucky that their candidate’s spouse hasn’t been in the public eye for the last 16 years, occasionally being the President.
