The Corner
Political observers who talk of the “swiftboating” of Barack Obama misunderstand what happened to Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) in 2004, writes Byron York. Those who swiftboated Kerry were Vietnam veterans who served with him, while the critics of Obama aren’t colleagues or those who know his work personally, York notes. While older white feminists who supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) will come around to back Obama in November, Obama isn’t helping his cause by treating women as a monolithic group and suggesting that they move past Clinton’s loss, writes Ramesh Ponnuru.
