Friday Open Thread [4.26.13]
Nate Cohn notes that Hillary Clinton currently “commands a staggering 60 percent of the primary vote, an unprecedented figure for a non–vice presidential candidate and one of the highest levels of support of all time”:
Yes, Clinton lost in 2008. But it’s important to note how much stronger her numbers are today than they were in 2007. Back then, only 35-40 percent of Democratic voters offered their support. With a few additional gains, Clinton was able to expand to nearly 50 percent of the vote, despite getting only a sliver of the African American vote. Polls indicate that Clinton has won back much of their support, giving her the broad coalition she possess today.
Right-wing media bias could soon get even worse. As Amy Chozick reports at The New York Times, “Now, Koch Industries, the sprawling private company of which Charles G. Koch serves as chairman and chief executive, is exploring a bid to buy the Tribune Company’s eight regional newspapers, including The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Baltimore Sun, The Orlando Sentinel and The Hartford Courant.” Read Chozick’s article for more on an even broader takeover of media outlets by conservatives.
A police lieutenant in Bethany Beach was arrested today for an alleged assault.
If Koch buys those companies it might result in the formation of an actual left wing media outlet one day.
Hillary Clinton is an old hag bag. She can’t get elected dogcatcher.
Just bought my first Frontier ticket out of ILG. I hope they stay in business that long 🙁 !!!

Walt-
There’s so much wrong w/ your comment it makes me think you’re trolling.
1. Mrs. Clinton has already been elected to the U.S. Senate twice.
2. Physical beauty is subjective. It is also not a requirement to hold the office of the President of the United States.
3. Mrs. Clinton isn’t even old by modern standards.
Finally, think of what you wrote & ask yourself if you would write the same thing about Ronald Reagan (or any other male politician.)
If elected, Mrs. Clinton would be roughly the same age as Reagan was when he took office.
FWIW, I’m not a fan of Hillary, but I’d vote for her over virtually any current Republican politician.
JC. Good luck and we want a full report.
