The inimitable Maureen Dowd, in yesterday's column, churned up her customary blend of insight and meanness to send that message to Barack Obama, with whose campaign she has been traveling.
Obama sounded whiny after his losses, chastising reporters on his plane for asking him hard questions about Goolsbee and Antonin Rezko. Privately, his people conceded that he hadn’t been as fierce about winning as Hillary, once more playing rope-a-dope.
He’s now learned what Hillary learned in Iowa: You can’t cruise to victory on a coronation strategy.
