...makes her way around this former Rust Belt state, Hillary Clinton is adamant that manufacturing jobs must return to America. "I really am one of those who believes passionately that you can't be and won't be a strong economy if you don't make things," the New York Senator told reporters in Philadelphia on Tuesday. "So, absolutely, I believe we can once again be a manufacturing economy...
Obama may be drawing the crowds - 22,000 in State College alone - and enthusiasm, but Clinton's message is tried and tested in this Rust Belt State, where 47% of Democratic primary voters are over the age of 45.

As I toured reality in Ohio, the big story in the press was whether the Clinton campaign was responsible for slipping a photo of Obama in Somali Muslim garb to the Drudge Report. No doubt we're going to have a sludge tide of garbage about Obama's provenance and proclivities in the months to come. If the election is dominated by that, we should all be sued for malpractice...
