Hillary is clinging on

Hillary knows that Obama’s comments about small town mid-Westerners being bitter and clinging to their faith and guns is probably her last best chance to make the Democratic party pause before nominating Obama so she is playing it for all its worth. This new, hastily cut ad is her latest effort to keep the controversy front and center.

The problem for Hillary is that making this kind of case in a Democratic primary probably hurts her almost as much as it helps her. The real beneficiary from this whole flap: John McCain.
