re: #197 jaunte

I think this is a good point:

One way of reporting on Clinton’s statement is to weigh its political cost, ask what it means for her campaign, or attempt to predict how it might affect her performance among certain groups. This path is in line with the current imperatives of political reporting and, at least for the moment, seems to be the direction of coverage. But there is another line of reporting that could be pursued—Was Hillary Clinton being truthful or not?

And it actually represents the division on the Democratic side. One group is worried about the political cost to the campaign. The other group, which I will claim to be part of, is more concerned about getting its truth out there.
