Never mind that the primaries are a year away (give or take). On the one hand I keep asking myself why I should even get worked up at this point, and on the other hand it seems pretty clear to me that it’s in the media’s (read: the Democrats’) best interests. It’s a whole year of playing Whack-a-Mole with any Republican to raise his head. I have to agree that we’re falling for a really grotesque game that’s entirely media driven. I guess it’s natural, and the media surely must recognize it: the chips are down for us at the moment, and we desperately want to get out of the box we’re in — and the media knows it.
Good analysis
