I have always been on the cusp.  My birthday is in January, on the cusp of Capricorn and Aquarius, so I'm an idealistic pragmatist (or a pragmatic idealist).  I was born in the second half of the baby boom, so I'm a Joneser (learned that this year), who was a little too young for the "fun" part of 60s, but identify strongly with the movements of my generation.  I'm a feminist who was neither a pioneer nor a real beneficiary of their sacrifices.

Follow me over the cusp.

It's conventional wisdom that the wingnuts already had tv spots in the can to run against Hillary. But now that it's clear that Plan A is no longer operative, they are about to switch direction.  What does the media genius behind the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth  and Accuracy in Media have in store for Barack Obama?  Dana Milbank at the Post gives us a preview and it ain't pretty.

That's 15% of the "stimulus" check I'm expecting this week.  I'll bet you can send him at least 5% of yours. We need to push Obama over the top and move on to John McCain.  He needs a big number to end the month of April and to finally put an end to this overripe primary fight.  

When Obama won Iowa, the Clintons came to realize, through Mark Penn's micro trend analysis, that the only way they could beat Obama's charisma and the optimism he brought to the Democrats was to slice and dice the electorate in an effort to systematically prove and, by definition, insure that Obama would not be able to win the general election.
