Duck Blind Annie

Ouch. Obama's follow up to the follow up was even more brutal toward Hillbilly Hill than the original. Meanwhile Dame Clinton trolls the bars of Indiana looking like the helicopter mom who showed up at spring break. ("Chug! Chug! Chug!") Somebody should have asked her what she thought about the guns in bars legalization movement moving through the red states.  

The great irony: at the Messiah College faith forum, HRC vainly sought to argue that Obama was just one more of those authenticity-challenged Dems, like Gore and Kerry, unable to connect with rural voters. But none of them ever went on a drunken phoniness binge like hers this week--an inverted "grand tour" for the slumming sophisticate--and Obama's sharp sarcasm about the whole "bittergate" affair is one of the most authentic displays of common sense I can ever remember from a candidate. 

Early numbers show no direct damage to Obama's campaign, either nationally or in PA.  Hope that holds up.  Were it not for a compliant press corps, reading from the Bride of Bubba Rural Voter Sensitivity Handbook, just to keep the race entertaining, he might actually get some boost from this.
