They're not the best of friends, they're wary of each other, but they're on the same page... and yet...columns like these proliferate:


Obama blinked and stands guilty of appeasing Clinton by agreeing to a roll call vote for her nomination. That he might not have had much choice if he wanted peace only proves the point that he's playing defense at his own convention.


Nope. The evidence is that no one "blinked," and if you're still looking for a blinker, Clinton blinked and agreed to what Obama had first proposed in June.

A side note: Clinton will campaign for Obama in New Mexico on Sunday.

Wow, a voice of sanity among the MSM madness...

The silly column that Ambinder is quoting is of course the idiocy from Michael Goodwin in the NY Daily News. (Goodwin, who suggested some time back that "terrorist thugs like Barack Obama.")

2. To answer the question with a question...

Why should Obama trust either of the Clintons when Bill is actively not endorsing Obama? Why should he trust Hill when she did not honor her word on MI and FL? Two important questions in my book.

3. to answer the question, because the msm says they are not. eom
