Unity And Ideals

By Big Tent Democrat

Gail Collins is clever today:

[J]ust as [Hillary Clinton] was engrossed in her multiple concessions, [Obama's] campaign started using the same political shape-shifting that Obama had decried in the Clintons. . . . The Democrats could not care less. They want a winner, and most of them are prepared to forgive quite a lot of inconsistency in order to get one. A liberal opponent of the Senate wiretapping bill virtually wept with joy when Barack deserted the cause and voted with the law-and-order folk.

. . . You’d like to think that after 17 months of angst over its presidential nomination, the Democrats would not wind up with the exact same candidate they started out with, except for a different gender and a higher quotient of panache.

. . . . Take a lesson from the residents of Unity, Hillary fans. Everybody has to do their part. . . . Sometimes it’s trying to figure out how to get through a killer presidential campaign without losing every single quality that made people want to vote for you in the first place. And sometimes, it simply involves a lot of nodding.

Heh.
