From the Washington Post: Unable once again to score a knockout, Sen. Barack Obama is likely to make his new negative tone even more negative -- with a sharp eye on trying to end the Democratic presidential nomination fight after the May 6 primaries in Indiana and North Carolina. The story notes while Hillary “delivered a victory speech in Philadelphia devoid of attack lines” Obama “took up the cudgel.” (Washington Post)
The battle has exposed several vulnerabilities in Obama. (Houston Chronicle)
The New York Times editors are terribly upset to see the Democrats beating themselves up, calling the campaign “meaner, more vacuous, more desperate, and more filled with pandering than the mean, vacuous, desperate, pander-filled contests that preceded it.” They really like that word, “vacuous.” The editors are clearly upset that their love candidate, Mr. Obama, is being vetted. (NY Times)
From the also unhappy but much wittier Maureen Dowd on Hillary: Her message is unapologetically emasculating: If he does not have the gumption to put me in my place, when superdelegates are deserting me, money is drying up, he’s outspending me 2-to-1 on TV ads, my husband’s going crackers and party leaders are sick of me, how can he be trusted to totally obliterate Iran and stop Osama? (NY Times)
