I READ THE NEWS AGAIN, OH MY
about an unlucky man who didn't make the
grade.
The Washington Post notes that Seantor Obama -- who built his
campaign on being different, took off the gloves in Pennsylvania, and
now may have to keep them off -- faces a tough quandry. Which
distinguishes his position, I suppose, from all of those easy quandries.
And which also seems to split hairs on a bald man's head. If only because, by already -- and repeatedly -- removing the gloves, he has, to anyone with eyes and mind open enough to see, already compromised that alleged electoral integrity. He's no longer different, no longer the Breath of Fresh Air, Different Kind of Politician he and his supporters have always professed him to be. (Not, of course, that he ever really was that anyway, but...)
He has, tough quandries and manufactured media dilemmas aside, long ago crossed over to the dark side, and no amount of smiling or moralizing or speechifying can change that.
