Dan Abrams pats himself on the back

Funny how this clip of Dan Abrams from last night doesn't include Chris Matthews as one of those declaring Hillary Clinton's candidacy dead before the New Hampshire primary:





Rachel Maddow has been all over this for the last 36 hours, and boy, is she pissed. When Rachel starts actually taking phone calls, you know she's not going to let this go. Nor should she, because what the punditocracy did in advance of this primary deserves to be held under a microscope. Ever since Bill Clinton's 1993 campaign, the media have focused on bullshit and the horse race aspect of campaigns instead of on where the candidates stand on real issues and providing an actual service to viewers. With the New Hampshire results slapping them in the face, is there any chance at all that the media has been chastened? My guess is no, but stay tuned.
