CHICAGO — Senator Barack Obama woke up on Wednesday talking of his delegate lead and of taking the fight to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. But after defeats...Snip...he also sounded like a chastened candidate in search of his lost moment.Mr. Obama once again failed to administer an electoral coup de grâce, and so allowed a tenacious rival to elude his grasp.
Snip
In Ohio and Texas, he drew vast and adoring crowds, yet he came up short on primary day, just as he did in New Hampshire in early January. Mrs. Clinton’s attack on his readiness to serve as commander in chief seemed to resonate with some Texas voters.
In Ohio, Mr. Obama failed to make much headway with voters who live paycheck to paycheck and feel the economic walls closing in, a troublesome sign as he heads to Pennsylvania.Snip
Flying from Texas back home to Chicago on Wednesday morning, Mr. Obama delivered the message that he intended to counterpunch forcefully.
His campaign aides on Wednesday urged Mrs. Clinton to release her tax returns from 2006, as well as her papers from her years as first lady, which Mr. Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, described as "secreted in the Clinton library."
Snip
Over the last year, though, Mr. Obama has struggled to deliver that examination. He picks up the cudgel, and then sets it down. The problem is that Mr. Obama has built a campaign persona as the man of hope, a young candidate with oratorical skills who promises to build bridges across the ideological divide.
If he indulges his inner Chicago pol, formed in a city where politics is conducted with crowbars, he risks taking the shine off.

That one should needs a warning siren or something.
that’s what hillary wants. Obama is all about being the cute guy of hope and dreams. now he’ll look like just another shady politician with no experience.
I said use operators.
yes but he’d still be escalating the conflict. hillary would then go after him even harder with her operators. It will affect him personally. In the end, they both look bad but hillary never claimed to be the good guy in the first place.
LOL!
Your post combined with the cartoon ranks as one of the best overall ever.
BTTT!
Thanks!
Please tell me that’s not real.
Chicago ‘68 redux. C’mon, is that to much to ask?
You're welcome, Anti-Bubba182! :-)
risks taking the shine off...
politically-insensitive slur alert...
Oy, come on Bambi, take the gloves off, we know you can, yes you can. It looks like the DRat stinkfest will deliver some true entertainment now. This ersatz Muslim will have to get out the Sword of Allah to strike the evil one.
If the Democrats attempt to have Primaries in Florida and Michigan an enterprising attorney should attempt to stop the taxpayers money from being wasted on a do over by bringing a lawsuit against the Democrats . They made the rules and now they are breaking them why should tthe taxpayers foot the bill ? You Know Millions for a primary never fed a Hungry child or gave a homeless person a meal
well...anything to drive the democrats crazy is a good investment. If the dem wins the WH, we’d face higher taxes
