I dunno, I hate to disagree publicly with WEB, but here goes;
I think Obama did a heck of lot to close the gap that was there 6 weeks ago. (in PA)
Clinton had powerful political backing in PA and the whole, "I spent my summers here-favorite daughter" thing going on and she still only managed to win by 10 points.
Unless I'm remembering wrong, most of the states where Obama has won the popular vote, he's beaten her by quite a bit; whereas she keeps eeking out these wins by single and low double digit percentages.
I think the Rev Wright stuff and Ayers has become baggage for Obama, no doubt, but I think there's a chance too that it will turn out to be a positive.
I think it would have been much worse for this stuff to have come out next fall.
Chris Matthews was venting for a bit last night about (his opinion) that the Clintons are acting like the Democratic party is theirs to do with what they wish. That they are the un-elected leaders of the Party and woe unto anyone who says different.
I think, or maybe just hope, that the longer she draws this out, the more voters new and old, will see her for what she is. A power hungry, irresponsible she-beast willing to sacrifice the party rather than concede she is the wrong candidate.
Course, all this could be the Kool-Aid I just drank too.
