Democrats feeling the pressure

The San Francisco Chronicle (via Don Surber) reports that Bill Clinton is showing his short temper these days;

It was as if someone pulled the pin from a grenade.

“Five times to my face (Richardson) said that he would never do that,” a red-faced, finger-pointing Clinton erupted.

The former president then went on a tirade that ran from the media’s unfair treatment of Hillary to questions about the fairness of the votes in state caucuses that voted for Obama. It ended with him asking delegates to imagine what the reaction would be if Obama was trailing by just 1 percent and people were telling him to drop out.

The Daily News tried to follow up on the story;

When contacted by the Daily News this morning, Binah declined to comment on the meeting.

“I really don’t want to talk about it,” she said. “I’m sorry.”

Asked if there’s a reason why she wouldn’t talk about it, she replied, “Yeah, there is a reason why. We have two magnificent candidates in this race. And, um, that’s all I have to say.”

According to Wilshire and Washington, Obama was pretty upset when an autograph seeker pleaded for a photo with him;

On a visit to a Philadelphia market on Wednesday, Barack Obama exchanged some tense words with a man who pleaded with him to pose for a photo with him. Arrogant? Or better yet, as the campaign contends, the man was a collector out to make a buck on eBay.

There’s video from CBS.

I wonder if the Democrats are coming to the realization that their candidates and their teams are becoming unhinged.
