Tonight I got a fundraising letter from the Obama campaign. In it, Barack complained of a new wave of attacks from Hillary Clinton that denigrate his supporters.

Over the weekend, an aide to Senator Clinton attempted to diminish the overwhelming number of contests we've won by referring to places we've prevailed as "boutique" states and our supporters as the "latte-sipping crowd."

I'm not sure how those terms apply to Mississippi and Wyoming -- or Virginia, Iowa, Louisiana, or Idaho for that matter.

Yeah, but he also "prevailed" in Washington, birthplace and corporate headquarters of Starbucks. In certain parts of Seattle, you can stand outside a Starbucks and see... another Starbucks.

Maybe it's unfair to apply the "latte-sipping crowd" label to Mississippi, but when it comes to Washington, if the shoe fits...

Still, I'd like to see how many latte cups sit on desks in Hillary campaign offices. I'd like to see how many of her hardcores drink good, old fashioned Joe from a calcified pot and how many hit a coffee bar at least once a day.

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones, Hillary, or you may find yourself caught in a latte-gate.
