TNR Must Read

The New Republic's Jonathan Chait turns in a MUST READ on why this protracted race is bad for democrats (http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=ba30ff16-a5af-4035-a883-cf15ffee406c), providing balance to our earlier post on Reed's piece.  Definitely read the whole thing, but here's one of several money shots:

"Pennsylvania is a swing state that Democrats will almost certainly need to win in November, and Clinton will spend seven weeks and millions of dollars there making the case that Obama is unfit to set foot in the White House. You couldn't create a more damaging scenario if you tried."

He also makes the point that what HRC is doing to BHO is in no way representative of the kind of hammering in the general, because McCain's fall mudslinging won't be reinforced by someone from within the Dem party.
