Barack Obama claims that losing Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary to Hillary Clinton by less than 10 points would be a victory.
That’s not even mild spin. That’s ridiculous.
Here’s where it could backfire, though. Let’s say pundits accept the 10-point handicap as legitimate and Obama loses by more than that.
Hasn’t he then left the door open to serious questions about his electability?
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
