Bittergate

That's what they're calling it out in pundit land, which includes the big bloggers I read obsessively.
And we Obama supporters were worried, our hearts in our throats, waiting to see what the Pennsylvania polls would show after a weekend of non-stop parsing among the talking heads and Clinton's wash, rinse, repeat of the theme that he offended small town America by saying they're bitter and turn to God, guns and whatever because of it.
Well, the polls are out and there's relatively little change among PA voters after all. And Gallup has him up nationally by 11 percent, the highest yet. (National polls mean little, but we all read them anyway.)
I don't get out at all. I have no idea what real people are hearing, absorbing, thinking about all this. Does anybody but the media and the blogosphere care?
Well, I did get out Friday night with a bunch of women friends, and we never talked politics, not once. I think we're all Obama supporters.
I'll just throw in this short Obama ad to illustrate what the people of PA are getting, he's putting up three or five times as many ads because he's got lots of money — some of it mine — and she still hasn't paid back the $5 million loan to her campaign.


P.S. He's up five points in Indiana.
P.S.S. Don't forget, tomorrow's debate on ABC. Perhaps the most interesting so far, given that Pennsylvania votes next Tuesday.
