Hillary won last night, which, needless to say, is good for Hillary on many levels. For starters, she doesn’t have to worry that, as the Los Angeles Times reported yesterday, Hollywood “will defect to Barack in droves.”
Obama has already destroyed Clinton’s inevitably and has to be considered a marginal favorite to win the nomination. Does he really want Hollywood? There’s a lot of money there, but it might be a case of more money, more problems. Despite being far left of Hillary on most issues, Obama’s “new politics” have stopped the press from labeling him a conventional liberal. Which is why I found this so amusing:
People who throw their wine glasses at the TV are not going to help Obama win the nomination, nor is their money (they all gave money to Dean in 2004, and it didn’t help him much). Obama needs beer drinkers, and cozying up to Hollywood won’t help him win their support.
