Have you guys seen this New Yorker magazine cover?

Okay seriously, the New Yorker strikes as speaking to and for more of the Hillary crowd. It is not surprise that the people who have run the Democratic party for the last, what, 20 years or so suddenly don't have a place to sit don't have any official titles at least in the Obama campaign directly would find all this very unnerving. He went around them to get money (let's not kid ourselves that is the fuel these machines need to run)and that can be a sudden surprise to those not used to such change. I heard Chuck Todd speak about this a week or so ago and it strikes me as being reasonable.

Obama's supposed "troubles" started about the time that he started letting former Clinton upper level staff into their operations. I am not saying that they are sabotaging or anything but the press now has old friends and familiar cell phone numbers to call. The press has been collectively squirming about how to talk about "the black guy" for over a year having someone on the inside allows the focus to move a little bit.

Tricking business that-bringing the not-to-long-ago opposition. We'll see but the New Yorker cover shows that their are many in the Dem party and many in the upper upper echelon of the ownership class who aren't sold on even hearing the word "change" too much-they didn't get to where they are by chasing down uncertainty.

1. No, it doesn't
It isn't a pro-Clinton cover, or intended for the Clinton audeince. It is very clearly anti-freeper.

2. Eh
I didn't say it was either but you could be right-the New Yorker is definitely NOT a freeper read.

That is probably why the DC establishment is making sure this image and this message is getting out.

3. Oh for fucks sake................
The primary is over. Your guy won. Be fucking happy.

He is the nominee. If he screws up and somehow loses, it is HIS fault. No one elses.

4. It will NEVER be his fault if he loses.
It will still be Hillary Clinton, with her Magic Toxic Uterus!
