Wishful thinking from the Old Gray Lady

Wednesday, 23rd April 2008

The New York Times editorial board lambasts Hillary Clinton, who it had previously endorsed, today. 

“The Pennsylvania campaign, which produced yet another inconclusive result on Tuesday, was even meaner, more vacuous, more desperate, and more filled with pandering than the mean, vacuous, desperate, pander-filled contests that preceded it.

Voters are getting tired of it; it is demeaning the political process; and it does not work. It is past time for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to acknowledge that the negativity, for which she is mostly responsible, does nothing but harm to her, her opponent, her party and the 2008 election.”

But this seems to rather miss the point that it did work for Hillary Clinton. Yes, the gap closed but she still won by a solid margin and comes out of this contest it better shape than she went into it.

Shame on you.

More pro Hilary prose.

Maybe they have a point and that she can't win and therefore does nothing but make McCain's job easier?
