Oh Brother...

A Romney staffer's mother plays herself in the real-life campaign stop: "Romney Visits Economically Anxious Family." It's like when TV producers find an aunt with the medical problem du jour....

Rep. Charlie Rangel seems to call Barack Obama "stupid."

The Clinton and Obama economic stimulus plans seem to be making Democrats on the Hill a bit nervous.

Eugene Robinson has a theory.

David Brooks has another.

First, this whole show seems stale and deranged to the younger set, as Obama and Clinton seemed to recognize when they damped down the feud yesterday afternoon. The interesting split is not between the feminist and civil rights Old Bulls, it’s between the establishments of both movements, who emphasize top-down change, and the younger dissenters, who don’t. Second, this dispute is going to be settled by the rising, and so far ignored, minority group. For all the current fighting, it’ll be Latinos who end up determining who gets the nomination.
