ObamaVille
Look.
Kentucky and Oregon will decide nothing.
So forget about all the playing for the cameras tonight.
Instead, what is perhaps more important is the fact that Barack Obama has once again proven that he is NOT John Kerry......
Case in point, less than a single newscycle ago The BillHill campaign broke with the 'Obama's-Winning-Because-He-And-The-Press-Hate-Women' meme:
"As Sen. Hillary Clinton has raced toward the end of what appears to be a losing bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, she has voiced what her most fervent supports have been saying -- her campaign has been dissed and damaged by people "who are nothing but misogynists".
In unusually blunt comments, Clinton told the Washington Post that sexism has played a larger role in the campaign than racism and that it has cost her and her supporters.
"It's been deeply offensive to millions of women. I believe this campaign has been a groundbreaker in a lot of ways," Clinton said. "But it certainly has been challenging given some of the attitudes in the press."
So, how did Obama react?
Did he run?
Did he hide?
Did he turn turtle?
Nope.
Instead, he immediately acknowledged it, owned it, and simultaneously turned it right around in a perfectly executed counter that HillBill never even saw coming:
Sen. Barack Obama said today that he agrees with Sen. Hillary Clinton that she has faced some sexism in the media coverage of her campaign.
"No doubt there are certain burdens for Sen. Clinton running as a formidable but first-time front-runner as a woman in the same way I've got to deal with some issues as an African-American," Obama told ABC's Jake Tapper.
"There is no doubt that there have been occasions where Sen. Clinton has had to overcome particular hurdles, and that is part of the groundbreaking nature of her campaign," he said.
It was like a perfectly executed 'Rope-A-Dope', circa 1974.
OK?
