Just when you thought the Clintons and Barack Obama couldn't get any nastier
(Daily News) - Move over, Hatfields and McCoys.
That blood feud is looking downright civil compared with the trash talk in the Democratic duel between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, which took on the ring of schoolyard taunts the day after a debate melee in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

From Captain's Quarters:
Structurally, the Democratic Party has been engineered to fight off any opponents of Hillary Clinton. The Clintons practically built the DNC, they control the superdelegates, and they garner most of the media attention. Even the racial split that erupted in this race eventually benefits the Clintons.
The problem for credibility doesn't belong to Obama. Who is Barack Obama, anyway? He's a half-single-term Senator with no executive experience and almost no legislative record. The fact that he has come this close to winning a nomination from one of the two major parties with this paltry record speaks volumes about the talent level in their pool. In any other cycle, he wouldn't have any credibility at all.
Hillary Clinton is the one worried about credibility. She has had to face down Obama's challenge seriously as he gained traction against her, despite his nonexistent resume. What does that say about her credibility? That's why she went after Obama in the last debate so hard -- because she had to. If a lightweight like Obama -- and for now, that's exactly what he is -- can become such a threat to her nomination, it demonstrates how difficult it will be when she has to face off against a candidate with real experience and better positioning.
Hillary can't afford to have Obama win any more states. It makes her look weak against some pretty thin competition, and reminds everyone of her thin resume as well.
Well lookie here, Cap'n Ed is full of poo again. What a shock.

I guess we should assume form this that Ed believes only those who have been anointed by long exposure to government service represent "talent." In Ed's world, if you're not part of the political establishment, then you have no credibility as a potential candidate for the Presidency. I wonder if Ed realizes that he is part of the problem.
...it demonstrates how difficult it will be when she has to face off against a candidate with real experience and better positioning.
Right, and from where do you expect this candidate to appear, Ed? Certainly not the GOP. It's all well to toss off a few vague comments about "positioning," Ed, but do you really have any idea what you're babbling about?
