Conventional Wisdom Mashup after a Week of Obama Losses

Sun Mar 09, 2008 at 02:44:17 PM PDT

This was the week (long forseen) in which the invincible Clinton Machine bounced back from the brink of defeat to an electoral rout in Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island.  Moreover, the media is finally being fair to Obama, beginning to seriously question his qualifications to be commander in chief.

...or so you would believe, if you listened to the reporters that actually get paid to cover politics.  After nearly two weeks of media coverage that is even more vapid than usual, I figured I'd examine for myself if there actually is anything to the ideas that are currently promoting Clinton as up-and-coming winner: her "momentum", her qualifications as commander in chief, her argument for using popular vote as a measure of support, and the negative press Obama's received lately over NAFTA-gate and Rezko.
