If you were following me on Twitter...Friday, March 07, 2008 by Dave Winer. New Republic: "Pennsylvania is a swing state that Democrats will almost certainly need to win in November, and Clinton will spend seven weeks and millions of dollars there making the case that Obama is unfit to set foot in the White House. You couldn't create a more damaging scenario if you tried." Don't know why I didn't see this sooner, but the Clintons are Republics who found a way to run against other Republics. The beauty of Samantha Power's resignation over calling Hillary a monster is that it guarantees that the association of Hillary with that perfectly accurate word, will be smeared all over the nightly news and the front pages of every newspaper. Probably with not too flattering pictures of Hillary looking like a monster. In other words, be careful what you demand resignations over. MikeA says only one iPhone app can run at a time. This effectively rules out a podcatcher. I'm easy to find on Twitter. |
