I think some pundits are overlooking their own role and a simple attitude that played into Hillary's victory tonight. While I am an undecided, the over-the-top response from the press over the last few days made me consider supporting Hillary just to tell them to eph off, they don't know what we want for our party. In the span of three days, Hillary went from "aggressive" and "angry" at the debate, to "tearing up" or "on the verge of tears" in that setting to lining up like a lamb at the slaughter. I thought the spittle that Chris Matthews was spraying with excitement over the "end of the Clintons" was going to come through my TV set and hit me in the face.
Some people over at TPM have been talking about this, but I think that as much as conservatives have complained about liberal media over the last (I don't know how many) years, Democratic voters have come to really resent the beltway crowd that supposedly represents "liberal media." In this crew goes Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, Howard Kurtz, Wolf Blitzer, sheesh, name pretty much any one of them. Even on NPR tonight, someone said, "well polling is never THIS wrong. Clinton was supposed to be finished." People do a lot of strange things with their vote. Why wouldn't some of them vote for Hillary as a way to tell Chris Matthews and the rest of them to shut up already?
Hey, even Tom Brokaw told him as much tonight.
