I have a I have a new piece, out earlier today in The New Republic, arguing that the Clinton media team was in top form in the wake of their March 4 victories, especially in drowning out Barack Obama's wins in Wyoming and Mississippi. For non-subscribers, here are the closing lines:
In case you didn't notice, the two surefire Obama wins, in Wyoming and Mississippi, which had the potential to quickly drown out the comeback image the Clinton campaign wanted to project following their March 4 victories in Ohio, Rhode Island, and Texas, mostly got lost. The media did not blow past the Wyoming and Mississippi results, but far more attention seemed directed at the controversies Team Clinton manufactured in the past week. Whoever is more ready to lead on Day One, this week provided a powerful reminder that Clinton's media team still knows how to dominate the news cycle for a few days when they need to.
