If your opponent buys ink by the barrel...

You probably shouldn't get into that fight. But hey, what does she have to lose?

Hillary turns fire on media - Kenneth P. Vogel - Politico.com

PORTLAND, Ore. – Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is increasingly aiming its punches not at her front-running opponent Barack Obama, but at the media.

On the campaign trail, in a new ad and in her meetings with donors and superdelegates, she blasts the D.C. punditocracy for counting her out and urges anyone who’ll listen to ignore the hardening storyline that places Obama as the Democratic presidential nominee.

She's lost the narrative, she's not got the momentum - her win in West Virginia got little air time - she's not, short of some significant meltdown by Obama - going to have a shot at the brass ring this election cycle (and this was her big chance - by 2012 she's definitely going to be past her prime) so she might as well go down swinging.

It won't help, but it might help her accept her fate if she feels she's done everything she can to forestall it.
