damage control or wishful thinking

Kos threw his lot in with Obama yesterday, which I think was a risky move from his perspective.  Kos is in a difficult position.  On one hand, he wants clout in the Democrat Party, which means he has to maintain some sort of functional relationship with the Democrat establishment, on the other, he can't afford to piss off his readership which hates the establishment.  By casting his lot with Obama, he's appeased his readership, but he had to have burned some bridges with the Democrat establishment, which will likely hurt him if the establishment is victorious. 

Which is why when I read Kos declaring that the media is writing the narrative for Clinton's loss, (Kos Link) I have to think he's engaging in damage control or wishful thinking, you can kinda smell the fear from Kamp Kos.  Kos correctly notes that Hillary has a small chance at winning, but this Rev. Wright/Obama story has to be making him sweat, and not in the way it does to Andrew Sullivan. 

This really could be fun.  I thought I'd never be saying this, Go Hillary Go!
