I usually don't agree with Charles Krauthammer, but once in a while I do, and such is the case here. He makes his case well, I think.

I've overheard Richardson and Jamal Whatshisname spouting that Rendell and Nutter got Hillary the PA win. Well, if they can work that kind of magic, she should be made the nominee, and then the two of them can arrange a Dem victory in all the Penn-like states in the union!

Apart from the self-congratulatory fatuousness of that statement -- as if in this freest of all countries, political self-expression is somehow scarce or dangerous or a sign of patriotic courage -- to speak of pin-wearing as a sign of inauthentic patriotism is to make an issue of it yourself. For Obamaphiles to now protest the very asking of the question requires a fine mix of cynicism and self-righteousness.
Spot. On. It's all about the O! In the most tiring way.
