Good Reads Addendum

Not sure how this one got by me this morning. Please accept my deepest and sincere apologies.

The Boston Globe, owned and operated by The New York Times, slams Hillary Clinton for her promise to annihilate Iran in defense of Israel. This should have become a bigger story than it was. A promise to protect Israel with nuclear weapons is crazier than McCain's vow to stay in Iraq for a hundred years. At least he has a thought process behind it. Clinton is really just throwing shit against the wall at this point and hoping it sticks.

The sad part is that in many parts of this country it is working. And we're not just talking about Ohio and Pennsylvania. If there was a one-night, national primary held between the two Democrats this week there is a very real likelihood she would defeat Obama by close to the same final margin we saw on Tuesday. This is not to say she would be successful in a general election, because she certainly would not. The Republicans would most definitely crush her. But the Democrats do have a problem on their hands, and it isn't going to get better any time soon.
