Hillary vows to nuke Iran in case of attack on US allies in the Mid East

This is HUGE, and really should totally derail Hillary's already floundering campaign. Unfortunately, it broke last night--on the eve of today's PA primary where polls opened 7am and close tonight at 8pm--and the mainstream media is too busy testing their crystal ball skills to cover what appears to represent a total reversal in US nuclear policy on Hillary's part. You could argue that perhaps the media fears that breaking this Hillary 'gaffe'--not in wording, but in general policy approach, which is a much scarier thing--now, as voters are on their way to polls, would be unfairly damaging to Hillary. Well, the media certainly didn't have a problem with doing exactly that in the two days leading up to the Texas and Ohio primaries when news broke of a meeting in which an Obama economic aide had allegedly discussed NAFTA with several Canadian officials--the Canadians themselves denied allegations that the aide had assured them that Obama's tough talk on NAFTA was little more than flowery rhetoric. And once again, just last week, they excitedly shook the country into a frenzy over Obama's 'bitter' comments.

What's saddest is that, as opposed to Obama's botched phrasing of a observation that most Pennsylvanians themselves more or less agree with (the whole being bitter thing), Hillary's comments totally throw into question how, as president, she would confront a country currently pegged as our number one enemy. Obama's statement was poorly worded, Hillary's fundamentally threatens our international standing. You tell me which is worse?

O, and another thought. The media totally knows that Hillary tends to win over a strong majority of those voters still undecided in the final moments before arriving at the ballot boxes. Losing this group's vote, which represents about 8% of the total number of people polled, could drastically narrow her margin of victory. Now, don't take this as some crazed and baseless conspiracy theory, that's not what it is. I don't think the media is at the behest of the Hillary spin machine. However, I do think they enjoy a protracted race that delivers better ratings. Unfortunately, for every buck they earn fanning the flames of inner-party divisions, Obama's (i.e, the Democratic Party's) chances against McCain drop.
