Quote For The Day

"I’m not exactly sure when it happened, but my will has been broken. I’ve realised that covering Mrs Clinton’s campaign without explicitly stating that it has turned into a win-at-all-costs operation fueled by phony outrage, hypocritical proclamations and absurd notions of who is electable and who is not is an exercise in deliberate deception, and I can’t do that. Perhaps I am weaker than my colleagues, but a certain fatigue sets in when trying to sort through it all.

This is no longer a campaign based on ideas. It is a campaign focused on tearing down Mr Obama. We all know that’s her only shot at the nomination. I’m tired of pretending otherwise," – the Economist’s blogger.

The Clinton campaign has become a force of pure negativism, a black hole of no. Whatever she would do as president, we now know one important thing: it ill only always be about calculation. She has nothing left.
