talking points memo

The mainstream media is starting to take a closer look at this guy.

So it begins…

Timothy Burger – Bloomberg:

The debate has been fast and furious recently, and Obama has struck what I think is the most appropriate tone given the circumstances.

And McAuliffe lost…big time.

Even with all that money spent and Bill Clinton campaigning for him…he only got 26% of the vote.

As the initial glee/schadenfreude/controversy/whatever over Arlen Specter’s fade to blue wears off, and Specter himself seems to have finally reversed course and learned to keep his mouth shut rather than the apparently explicit strategy of running on a platform of “Hey, let’s be clear…this wasn’t about principle, it was about opportunism”, the dust is settling somewhat and people are beginning to take a look at whether Specter’s path is indeed set.
