…going on, feeling strong.”

I hope this is the sound of nails being pounded into the coffin of Hillary’s campaign:

The only thing that made me grit my teeth was his minimum wage proposal. It felt forced, like it was inserted at the behest of some campaign advisor: “Gotta take that advantage away from Edwards.” I understand that Obama is genuinely further to the left that most people give him credit for, so perhaps he just wasn’t feeling particularly moved when delivering that part of the speech.

I think that pledging to raise the minimum wage is a very bad idea, so you have to give credit to the genuinely irresponsible and fucked up Republican field for making a guaranteed minimum wage increase seem like a palatable price to pay.
