No, I'd call it exactly race-baiting.
Or more precisely, race-baiting AND class-baiting in two different directions. Two offenses for the price of one.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

I don't see how it isn't over for Clinton, she'd have to pretty much have a really big win in every primary left and that's not going to happen. It's about time for Obama running mate speculation.

Problem is, she can still hurt Obama in the general if she keeps this sort of stuff up.

The status is NOT quo.
Yes, it does. And for the first time in this campaign, I'm sorry that I voted for her in the primary.This, exactly. I've been more and more disappointed with the tone of her campaign over the last two months, but this is the capper.
ETA: ita, I love the map! Thanks!

I'm really hoping she'll drop out. It's over, the only way to win is to take it to the convention and somehow get a bunch of superdelegates to go her way. It's not going to happen, and if it did, it would be devastating to the democrats. OTOH, maybe that's the way it will go down, the democrats are awfully good at shooting themselves in the foot.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Did any of you hear NPR's story about the biological superiority of early motherhood and the nascence of stay-at-home moms? For obvious reasons it touched a nerve with me.
But then I read this Science Daily article on successful men marrying women with educations and work experiences that are similar to their own mothers and I felt oddly better.
The researchers discovered that 72 percent of mothers of high-achieving men worked outside the home after they had children. Among those men, three-quarters agreed or strongly agreed with the statement "Men are more attracted to women who are successful in their careers." Men who grew up with working moms were almost twice as likely to marry a woman who makes $50,000 or more per year.
Seriously. I have enough guilt in my life. I don't need NPR to add more.

I'm pretty sure that's the way it will go down. I don't think she'll drop out. Though I wish she would.

Tep and Kristin are me. Although I still worry about
1) what the Republican slime machine will throw at Obama
and
2) that Obama's "hope" is the new "compassionate conservatism"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My 3pm interview just called to say she thinks she'll be about 5 minutes late. Good that she called, or bad that she's late?

Favorite quote:
Or perhaps she wins if Obama's popular vote total is, well, adjusted, by counting each African-American vote as only three-fifths of a vote. There is precedent, of sorts, for that arithmetic (see the Constitution, Article I, Section 2, before the 14th Amendment).
