Clinton’s wins in Ohio and Texas may have changed the psychological landscape of this primary season, but not the mathematical one. Obama is still the frontrunner and, barring a colossal fuck-up by his campaign, he is still likely to be the Democratic nominee. I don’t consider myself a Clinton hater and I have a hard time believing that she would allow her ambition to be the instrument of the party’s unraveling. But some of her tactics trouble me. When she says that she takes Obama “at his word” that he’s not a Muslim, she reveals the same penchant for deliberate ambiguity that nearly destroyed her husband. A few more insinuations like that and she’ll start sounding like Karl Rove’s long-lost sister.
We Obama supporters have to trust the process and our candidate. He’s run an exceedingly well-executed campaign and I don’t think that will change.
