Morning madness
Posted By Max Brantley on Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 6:18 AM
The morning newspapers haven't arrived here and I can't reach an NPR signal, so I'm stuck with morning TV for a change. An uncommon amount of talk is STILL about Hillary. Is she sufficiently supportive? Does she want Obama to win? Etc. Not on Michelle Obama's speech and bio film. Not on Teddy Kennedy's stirring appearance. Crazy.
Nobody's feeding the madness. The Arkansas Democratic delegation has the talking point down. We're all Obamaists today.
