While the chorus of pundits and party elders calling for her to run up a white flag continues, Hillary Clinton maintains her strong bond with the clock-punching white working people who have long been central to the Democratic identity. According to a new TIME poll of likely Democratic voters in the state, Clinton leads Obama 49% to 41%. Three and a half months after Obama's breakthrough win in Iowa, Joe and Jo Lunchbucket still aren't buying the audacity of hope. Indeed, only 56% of Clinton's supporters said they were likely to vote for Obama in November...
...homogeny.From the opening chords of the title track, it becomes apparent that something is amiss on “Consolers of the Lonely.” Nearly every song on the album seems to obey a sort of invisible rock template, a self-conscious mechanism that mindlessly plugs in choruses, verses, hooks and solos, but never seems to be aware of what makes any of those things work together.

Though more in line with the rest of the album stylistically, second track “Red and Purple” proves nearly as enjoyable as “Undeclared,” but it is hindered by a chorus that never really takes the song above and beyond. After hearing Long sing “I know that I am yours and you will be Mine,” one waits for it to take off, but it never does. The song is partially recused, however, by jangly snares...
...This is especially apparent on some of the album’s more distinctive tracks, such as “Open Book” or “Going On.” The former contains a heavy scattershot beat and a stuttering melody that periodically erupts into a chorus of “Lion King”-esque primal chanting, while the latter, which is the album’s most immediately gratifying song, integrates droning voices and mellow strings into an uplifting dance track about taking initiative. “Though there are other unknowns, somehow this doesn?...
