Obama on the road Friday, at a town hall in Elyria, Ohio, takes on a new combative tack in confronting the health-care debacle and accusations he has taken his eye off the economy (supposed cause of the Massachusetts setback). In more blatantly identifying himself as a fighter – something his policies already show to be true – Obama is embracing the same tactic by which Hillary Clinton turned around her race for the nomination, winning big-state primaries Ohio and Pennsylvania and nearly capturing the prize.
