But can the candidates play basketball?

The Indiana primary will pit two formidable opponents against one another: the voters vs. the political machine. The voters seem to stand behind Obama. The political machine seems to be backing Clinton. This can only end in tears and bitter recriminations. But at least Time Magazine's coverage seemed informed. The New York Times seemed anything but. Two dozen in a town of 46,000 does not a representative sample make. And Kokomo is no more representative of the Hoosier state than, say, Bloomington or Muncie. Kokomo seems to have been selected to confirm the New York Time's readership's bias about a flyover state they could no more locate on a map than, say, West Virginia or Montana. But with only two weeks before this primary, it's safe to say that the Hoosier state will get less attention than Pennsylvania did and that the attention will be less than illuminating.
