The best blogger in the blogosphere, Andrew Sullivan, weighs in on the Democratic race:

The longer the Democratic race goes on, the likelier it appears that Clinton could well win the nomination in a way almost designed to maximally divide and demoralize her own party - and raise her own national negatives to stratospheric levels.  It would mean a Clinton candidacy in the fall that had actively alienated independents and repelled Republicans, while undermining a key source of Democratic support - African-Americans.

Wasn't running against idealism was supposed to be a winning strategy?  Shouldn't railing against the "Republican attack machine" attract independents and disaffected Republicans?  Isn't a 51% strategy a great way to unite the country behind a bold progressive agenda?
