Former President Bill Clinton laid out his wife's chances for voters during a speech - and didn't sound terribly confident about them. He told them, "If she wins Texas and Ohio, I think she will be the nominee. If you don't, then I don't think she can. It's all on you." And the Post quickly dug up the Davy Crockett hat for its Photoshop job.
Hillary Clinton spoke at Hunter College yesterday, telling the crowd, “It's time to get real...We need to make a choice between speeches and solutions. The best words in the world aren’t enough unless you match them with action. ... We’re asking to compare our records, we’re asking to compare our years of service, we’re asking to compare our ideas.” Newsweek's Andrew Romano called Clinton's "Let's get real" lines a sign of her "desperate desire" to appeal to people who want to count on "real" over (the audacity of) "hope."
And political journalist Ron Brownstein doesn't think there's a media bias against Clinton, telling an audience at an event for his book, "I think if Obama would have lost 10 elections in a row, there would be a chorus from the media for him to drop out. But you don’t see that with Clinton. They respect her political prowess. They are giving her one more bite at the apple.”
Clinton and Obama are debating tonight at the University of Texas in Austin.
