Clinton's Trash the 50 State Policy Blunder

Man, I am sick of the Clinton tactic of trashing Red and Purple State Dems.

It is just constant.

Here it is again.

kos has done a good job tracking all the reasons Obama victories "don't count."

They are caucuses; they are small states; they have lots of Black voters; and so on. I hope she doesn't think the Dems are going to win a working majority by only winning on the coasts....

Amazing Adam Smith Quotation

Glenn Grenwald ahs this gem from adam Smith about how the armchair warriors enjoy their little amusements.

In great empires the people who live in the capital, and in the provinces remote from the scene of action, feel, many of them, scarce any inconveniency from the war; but enjoy, at their ease, the amusement of reading in the newspapers the exploits of their own fleets and armies . . . .

They are commonly dissatisfied with the return of peace, which puts an end to their amusement, and to a thousand visionary hopes of conquest and national glory from a longer continuance of the war.

Its a good post in which he takes down the self-satisfying rationalizations of the die hard dead-enders of the Iraq War.

Rendell chews on his foot.
