Dems continue war of attrition

Halperin has a concise media roundup of the reax to yesterday's Pennsylvania primary win for Hillary:

NY Times: Primary highlighted “concerns about Mr. Obama’s strengths as a general election candidate. Exit polls again highlighted the racial, economic, sex and values divisions within the party.”

Washington Post: “Her margin was decisive, but even some of her most loyal supporters privately expressed doubts last night that she can prevail in the long battle against Obama.”

LA Times: “Clinton’s victory Tuesday left in play the same questions that remained seven weeks ago after her 10-point victory in Ohio.”

Time.com: The number to watch: 43 - the percentage of Clinton voters who say they’ll stay home or vote for McCain is Obama is the nominee.

Politico: For all the campaigning and money spent, Clinton won “with the same base of white women, working-class voters and white men that revived her candidacy in Ohio.”

Obama memo also calls race “virtually unchanged.” Read it here.

I'm sure the usual contingent of biased left-wing "journalists" (not mentioning any names-LOL) will be parroting the party line that half of Hillary's MAJORITY vote will defect in November "means nothing".

Another thing you won't see reported is that in the 29 state primaries held so far Clinton LEADS Obama by 300,000 votes. That's not even including Michigan. He only wins the popular vote because of the undemocratic caucuses which cater to the young, healthy leftist cadre dreaming of the "better world".

Biased left-wing journalists? Ha! I love that canard.
Look at the way they spun last night: "He outspent Hillary and he lost!" They conveniently forget Hillary started the primary campaign having the nomination at least as wired, if not more so, than Bush did the 2000 GOP nomination. Her dominance in fundraising and staff intimidated Gore and Kerry out of the race.
Obama can't put Hillary away? With all the advantages she entered the campaign with, she should've put Obama away by Super Tuesday.
