I read that. I'm thinking to myself, "How is insulating the people sitting in front of you going to suddenly cause them to reverse the reporting they're doing on your campaign?"

Apparently, the best way to make friends with the media is to kick and scream about how much they hate you. Oh, and to tell them to take their assignments from Tina Fey on SNL. I mean, it works in the schoolyard. Doesn't it?

Doesn't it?

These people seem so Orwellian. The thing that seems so apparent to me is that this has gone beyond a political tactic or spin, and really seems to be what they actually believe (in truth, I wasn't there). But there's a real heavy vein among Hillary's supporters that cannot understand the appeal of their opponent, and sincerely believe that he will lose huge like a Mondale or a McGovern. If these guys really believe this, their strategy makes sense - hold out until everyone realize they are putting their hopes behind a false idol. At the same time, though, every attempt to show that the Emperor Has No Clothes has failed, and they demonstrate that they know it fails because they have alternated their strategy every time Obama has risen above it.

So, if it isn't true-believerism, if it isn't a lack of political accumen... Could it be just hubris? Then it's no longer a policy problem - it's just one other reason that they (and their candidate) should not be supported towards the Democratic nomination. Such a thing would be double plus ungood.
