When Cokie Roberts Sounds Intelligent and Nuanced by Comparison, You Know You're a Hack

Juan Williams, on NPR offering his analysis on Super Tuesday: Obama's performance appears to show that he's the "black candidate" (notwithstanding, one presumes, Kansas, Utah, or Colorado). He wraps up his observations of the race by saying that "they" say Clinton comes in "ready to lead." I don't know about you, but I expect just that sort of incisive commentary on my public radio station.

In contrast, Cokie Roberts does a nice, sober analysis of delegate shakeout and the role of superdelegates.
