  Tracking Right-Wing Candidate Hillary Clinton's Divisive, Unethical Campaign to Steal the Democratic Nomination and Obliterate Hope . . .

In "Not Quite Double Digits for Clinton in Pennsylvania" John Nichols at The Nation succinctly illuminates exactly why Clinton's campaign spin of a single-digit win into a double-digit lie (and even Democracy Now! and Free Speech Radio News have inaccurately reported a 10% spread), matters and is even vital to her continued deception of the American people and her continued assault upon democracy.

20 does not round up to 100; 9.2 does not round up to 10. Unless you need the dough.

"The Clintons Campaign the Way Bush Governs" by Jerry and Joe Long at 23/6.

I don't know if he can "obliterate" Clintonism, but Obama sure needs to knock it back into the sordid hole full of lies and insane vanity out of which it crawled.

Whether she actually manages to steal it (which is just about the only way she can "win") or not. After her fabulous and (and utterly expected) single-digit "comeback" in Pennsylvania, where she went in a month's time from a 20% or better lead to a less-than 10% final outcome, Clinton is now on her way (yet again) to ascending the throne as Empress of the U. S. A.

DailyKos has an excellent and detailed analysis, with minimal spin, of the "electability" issue, which is going to be the bucket of do-do her wingnut campaign will flourish in the faces of the public in the coming tedious days (or weeks . . . sigh), with no doubt a great deal of help from Fox News and other Big Money media.
