16. I agree with him, and I support both Clinton and Obama
Over at TPM the other day, I took someone to task for dismissing the idea of Clinton as V.P. because she "brings nothing to the table." My point got lost in all the acrimony towards Clinton, but my point remains, when one of the two contenders has a sizable and significant (to the G.E.) group of supporters, the other candidate should NOT use arguments that alienate that group (such as calling them "nothing").

The point here is the same. Bad enough that Ferrarro said what she said, but what was really alarming to me was that Clinton didn't immediately stomp on it with both feet.

Bad politics. Bad, bad, bad politics, to alienate the supporters of Obama.
