Obama's Rout Rejiggers the Race

There was only way to describe Barack Obama's victory over Hillary Clinton and John Edwards in South Carolina: It was a rout. "After four great contests in every corner of this country, we have the most votes, the most delegates, and the most diverse coalition of Americans that we've seen in a long, long time," Obama declared at his victory celebration in Columbia. "There are young and old; rich and poor. They are black and white; Latino and Asian and Native American. They are Democrats from Des Moines and Independents from Concord, and yes, some Republicans from rural Nevada and we've got young people from all across this country who've never had a reason to participate until now."

There's a title begging a rewrite. Some editor brings tumult to Ms. Tumulty.

I clicked the link to make sure you weren't making up that title. Somebody at Time has his head up his...

[Dahoser]

I wonder how she’ll spend her two weeks off?

The titles are usually from some editor.

[Joe Boucher]

“Somebody at Time has his head up his”?
Most everyone at Time has their head up their .
There, that fixes it.

She’s working w/ Bill Clinton against O’Bama

[G.Mason]

Agreed.

That is awfully close to the ... " the forming, or the causing of the forming, of words to remind one of words that have been outlawed by the State, thereby causing those hearing, or reading those words, to spend the time of the State thinking about banned words instead of the beauty of the State" ... law.

There oughta be a law.

The editor, perhaps. Tumulty's writing does not to me indicate a pro-Clinton bias.

[counterpunch]

All the Clinton surrogates are following Bill’s lead and “blackening” Obama.

Obama's Rout Rejiggers the Race

It's a Freudian slip, you see liberals think about race (the color of skin) all the time. Everything is race subconsciously and consciously, even when composing a title.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Karen Tumulty is a favorite of the left. She won’t be torn to shreds over the the word “rejiggered”.
That sort of treatment is reserved for conservatives, especially men.

Wonder if there was any dancing going on last nite?

[NewLand]

Rejiggers? Rejiggers? R-e-j-i-g-g-e-r-s!!!

Who wrote that headline...Carville or Begala? Blumenthal?

Bubba?

LOL...

[decimon]

It's a Freudian slip...

Ya got a point there. In context of this campaign, an uncommon word like 'rejigger' kinda screams out at you.

[rbg81]

Can you imagine if they had characterized Hillary’s share of the vote as niggardly?

[LanPB01]

The editor’s working title was “Obama’s Wily Rout of White Woman Followed by Night of Cannibas and Fried Chicken Consumption.” Way to be subtle, Time.

[Mr. Jazzy]

I think the Ms. Tumulty has been spending too much time with Kelly Tilghman and the editors of Golfweek magazine.

[TexasCajun]

"Whaaaaaat?? I use the word almost daily."

[LRS]

At least the article isn’t niggardly...

[LRS]

Ack! Got me by about 3 minutes!
