Stop the bed-wetting: Hillary Clinton's doing fine

[boston bean]

(CNN)—It's officially bed-wetting season in the political world when it comes to Hillary Clinton's campaign. With stories this week in Politico and The New York Times about the newly competitive Democratic primary, the whispers have begun about whether this is 2008 all over again. Back then, Clinton was defeated by Obama, an insurgent, progressive outsider.

Bed-wetting is a term of art in Obamaland. In 2008, Obama's then campaign manager David Plouffe made it famous in a New York Times article; it refers to the premature panic among pundits and party stalwarts alike during trying political times. While bed-wetting is not an affliction exclusive to a party, Democrats do seem to have a special affinity for it.

With Vermont Sen. (and presidential candidate) Bernie Sanders raising millions, exciting progressives, drawing crowds and surging in the polls, it's suddenly the Summer of Sanders. Cue the second-guessing and the handwringing over Clinton and her campaign strategy.

But while Clinton's campaign to date hasn't been perfect, she is doing exactly what she needs to do to ensure that she is the Democratic nominee and the 45th President of the United States.

I'm ok with what Hillary is doing as part of her campaign. I'm not nervous baout her standing or the current situation with other candidates. I've been told I should be. I guess we'll find out on Primary Night for sure

8. ^^This^^

The media wants DRAMA! And will often twist their stories to generate it.

14. They want anything they can write on no matter how absurb or ridiculous

Kind of how they do their interviews.
Doesn't matter how stupid or caustic the person is, they'll give them airtime
If it gets ratings or clicks, they'll report on it

5. This is an opinion article by an Obama campaign staffer... and it is one that I agree with

I suggest people go to the link and read the whole article before commenting.

12. Pretty sure it's not referencing Hillary or her supporters.

It's about the media and others.

10. What the eff are they calling GOPers huh . .

11. The first game, aka first debate, hasn't been scheduled yet

It preseason.... Hillary has been lifting lots od weights(fund raisers), Bernie aerobic workouts and O'Malley trying to build a little core strenght.... Webb and Chafee, at least to me, seem to just going through the motions.

It preseason, so there is a lot of trash talking by the different fan groups.


Am a bit surprised that they haven't scheduled the first debate yet.

13. boston beanI don't see anything that should send this to a jury

But there has been some shenanigans going on.

15. Good article

The absurdity of the media
They have to have something to report on to fill a half dozen or more 24 hour so-called news/business networks
Sports is no better. 10% of the season isn't over and the media is reporting on which players should be traded and to whom

For me, I'll get more 'concerned', 'excited', whatever when we get into mid-December and January.

Again, good article

Thanks
