Election '08: The Audacity of Hopelessness

That is the brilliant title of Frank Rich’s examination of the Obama v. Clinton campaign. Money quote:

But it’s the Clinton strategists, not the Obama voters, who drank the Kool-Aid. The Obama campaign is not a vaporous cult; it’s a lean and mean political machine that gets the job done. The Clinton camp has been the slacker in this race, more words than action, and its candidate’s message, for all its purported high-mindedness, was and is self-immolating.
