Does the fact that the New York Times has already endorsed Hillary Clinton and John McCain mean that the rest of the primary states can pack it in right now? The timing seems pointed to immolating the remaining shreds of Rudy Giuliani's campaign in Florida.
Oh, the Gray Lady does not like its former mayor, calling him "a narrow, obsessively secretive, vindictive man" whose "arrogance and bad judgment are breathtaking".
In contrast, the newspaper's editorial board fairly coos about the Democratic prospects, casting the wedding bouquet to Clinton in a bit of reasoning that reads like the ending of The Taming of the Shrew. "Why, there's a wench! Come on, and kiss me, Kate."
In other words, yes, we like Obama, but Clinton's trip through the political crucible has much improved her, where it's yet unclear whether Obama's will break him. Or something like that.
But ethics professor and radio journalist Jeffrey Dvorkin in his blog Now The Details wonders whether the ultimate killer of Hillary's campaign will be Bill Clinton's secret desire to sabotage it. "A psychotherapist I know well, tells me that this is an example of projective identification - the patient (Bill) evacuates his anxieties (no longer being President) on the therapist (Hillary) in order to regain his dominance and to assure his traditional role and reputation."
Hmm. Suddenly that Sopranos spoof announcing Hillary's campaign theme song makes sense...
