Today I am in Chicago. I went for a run this evening and was feeling pretty good about myself because it was cold and kind of icy and I went out anyway. These are the days when you don't feel like going but you know you have to. So there I am, running along, enjoying life, when I pass this guy running the other direction and JUGGLING. On the icy sidewalks. In the dark. So much for self-congratulation!
The main thing on my mind today is who is going to draw the short straw assignment of having to tell Hillary Clinton to withdraw from the race. God help us if she wins Texas or Ohio by enough of a margin to make her think she can still win the nomination. Can you imagine the hand-wringing going on in the Democratic Party right now? It must be like when the Nixon White House had to decide who was going to tell him he needed to resign. With respect to last night's debate, I was looking through the reader comments on the Washington Post online today and found this very insightful post in response to Hillary's claim of media bias:
"Hillary's whining about the media is absurd. She had a massive built in advantage with the media at the start of this race and its name was Bill Clinton. Anywhere he went he instantly monopolized coverage. She screwed up using him but that's her fault. Biden, Dodd and lots of others who have TONS more experience that Clinton got completely ignored by the media. If anyone should be complaining, they should."
Amen! In pro-Hillary news, I must admit that I loved Tina Fey's "endorsement" of Hillary on SNL in which she proclaimed that "bitch is the new black." Word.
PS: here's a link to the Tina Fey bit. High-larious. http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/47c2f665c957dd9
