Political Evolution

NP: Countdown with Keith Olbermann

Joe Klein gets a bad rap as an "old politics" dinosaur, but in wrapping up tonight's Democratic debate, he gets the key point exactly right:

No doubt, assorted blowhards will say that she had to demolish Obama tonight and didn't...But they'll be wrong. If she had demolished him, she would have immolated herself. Those who argued for aggression are dinosaurs, relics of a clunky pre-interactive politics that has slipped into the past this year, a politics where consultants were considered clever if they could supply lines like the "xerox" gambit. That just seems extremely over now.
