So it goes

I guess I didn't want to believe what I was hearing on the radio the other day. Not Rushbo but NPR played the musings of a New York woman, ironically named Christian, fuming that an "inadequate black man" had "stolen" the nomination only because Clinton is a "white woman."

Ugly and ignorant, in more ways than one.

There's a couple of cliches that apply to the political contests. The first is the old saw that there are only two ways to run for office: scared and unopposed. Hillary and her staff ignored that, big time. Nemesis follows hubris. (See also Giuliani, Rudy.)

The second is attributable to Mario Cuomo: you campaign in poetry, you govern in prose. Listening to all three speeches last night (McSame, Clinton, Obama) it's pretty clear who the poet is.
