1) I don't care if or why Senator Clinton became emotional ("cried" or whatever you call it). I do care that the cable news pundits turned it into a sexist "girls are so weak" reason for Senator Clinton's victory.
2) If a Democrat exploits the fear of terrorism to, as Senator Obama says, "scare up votes," I'm going to call them on it with the same vigor as I call out Cheney and the Bush Republicans. If this means cannibalizing the party I usually support, then so be it. Just because it comes from a Democrat doesn't make it right -- or more American. And I'll be twice as hard on Senator Obama if he ever pulls the same stunt. But I don't think he will.
