The polls that are starting to come out after Obama's poorly worded comment show no damage to him.<BR/><BR/>But I'm wondering how the triangulating Hillary sees this as ultimately affecting her second-place possibilities. Her fallback position was earlier mooted as Senate majority leader. If she's thoroughly trashed the President, does that make sense to her colleagues? I guess she can be governor of New York.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps she is depending on Obama's desire to bring the country together, and forgiving his enemy in the primary would be a part of that.<BR/><BR/>Although I guess it comes down to the insanity of being inside the campaign bubble: she is the only one who can save the country, so she must do anything and everything toward that goal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
