Leave it to a Sportswriter: Mike Lupica is on Fire!

Fair warning, there is some serious bashing in this article from the NY Daily News.
You can choose your own highlight for bold type from this, I can't decide:
Hillary wants desperately to be the Democratic populist, even as she plays to the same gullible audience that elected George W. Bush twice, saying she is so tough that she will blow Iran to smithereens. And of course she will save the working class with a plan at the gas pumps that ought to come with a laugh track. This all happens at the end of a campaign in which she has constantly accused Obama of being the one who is all rhetoric and no solutions.
She stays in the race now for the worst possible reasons, hoping that there is some new bogeyman like Wright around the corner and Obama will somehow break down in the stretch like a fragile racehorse.
It is the Clinton version of the politics of hope, and it all goes on while Obama runs the closest possible thing we have seen in 40 years to the campaign Robert F. Kennedy was never allowed to finish in 1968.
