you all are impossible. the woman never shows a single crack, you all call her the ice queen.

she has an actual moment of emotion, exhausted and overcome by an actual sympathetic question and the depth of her desire to make the country a better place, and you put a disgusting twist on it -- it's fake, it was planned, she's weak. classic. Edwards is a pig. Is that what he says when his wife chokes up about her cancer? That she's weak?

i was on the fence, but HRC is my hero now. why the hell would anyone put herself through this -- expose herself to these types of unending attacks -- unless she really did care? A lesser person would have folded a long time ago.

Rebecca, you go on. Somebody's got to stand up for women, when we're dammed when we do and dammed when we don't.

As for Obama, I'm waiting for someone to say to him "I knew Robert Kennedy, and you're no Robert Kennedy -- get over yourself!"

I've heard men say shamelessly in public that they wouldn't vote for Hillary because she "reminds me of my first wife." (presumably the smart, capable one that put them through school and bore their children and who they left for some unchallenging bimbo).

Imagine any kind of equivalent remark about Obama. Never happen.

I'm an undecided voter, but I am thrilled to have 2 strong candidates to choose from.

Reading the letters, I will say that the attitude of the Obama supporters is a real turnoff. The nastiness is not doing your candidate any favors. The man should be able to win on his own merits, not by tearing others down or by blowing him all out of proportion (Lincoln?)

And 2 factually incorrect pieces of information keep cropping up that should be corrected. Obama did not spend YEARS as a community organizer. He did it for 2-3 years between college and law school. The kind of thing you do to build up your resume while taking the LSATS, if you have an interest in politics, like working for NYPIRG. It's not bad, but it's not THAT impressive.

#2, Hillary Clilnton was NEVER a corporate lawyer for WalMart, and she did not work for WalMart. She was asked to be on the board when they were getting criticised for not having any women on the board. She was the first female member and was in fact responsible for getting them to put together the first plans for environmentally friendly stores. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/20/us/politics/20walmart.html

Let's win or lose on the truth. These candidates deserve no less.

Talesian, for proving my point. Trying to paint anyone who doesn't support Obama as racist is completely foul on every level. Nice.

So you don't know the difference between serving on a board and working for a company. Perhaps you should be more informed before telling us all what we think.

Mrs. Obama also served on a board (TreeHouse Foods) in Chicago that is one of WalMart's major suppliers...I guess then you think she is "a corporate lawyer" for them too.

If "superdelegates" are only supposed to reflect the votes in their state/districts, shouldn't Senators Kennedy and Kerry be supporting Hillary Clinton, now that she's won their state?

Both sides are happy to reframe the debate in whatever way makes them come out ahead. That's called politics.

I have been reading Joan Walsh for months now, along with the comments, and the viciousness towards her from some of these posters is shocking.

it seems to me that Walsh may lean very slightly towards Clinton, but only in the same way that most media commentators lean all the way down and touch their toes for Obama. It doesn't detract from her clear desire to be balanced and to see things in this race as they are.

I had exactly the same take watching Wright's talk with Moyers. I suppose if you really thought that Wright was some kind of psycho, the interview and the longer clips would have disabused you of that notion. He's not. His style of oratory, though not necessarily what he says, is not unusual in the african-american church.

But what it did was illustrate that he is clearly an intelligent and thoughtful man of great gifts who is peddling a completely dumb and outmoded far left-wing idealogy of victimization and conspiracy theory. This ideology is not purely spiritual in nature but is inextricably bound up with very bad politics. That he appears to sincerely believe his flock is in need of framing God as that of the oppressed and not of the oppressors (and that we as a country apparently need two gods) doesn't detract from the fact that it strikes many Americans as distasteful and self-serving, AND, not coincidently, completely counter to what Senator Obama says he stands for as a candidate. The longer clips, rather than indicating that the "soundbites" were taken "out of context," actually confirmed that the longer sermons were reinforcements of the sense of them!

according to wright, what is wrong with this country is that we don't learn in school about the trail of tears, we only learn about 1776. I don't know what schools he's been visiting, but I learned about the trail of tears AND 1776. I learned about the slave trade, the writing of the Constitution, the Civil War, Jim Crow AND the Civil Rights movement. The Holocaust (the one Farrakahn says didn't happen) AND the firebombing of Dresden AND the Marshall Plan. If someone has a simplistic view of America, it seems to be Wright himself.

I also agree that Wright came across as so eager to clear his image that he didn't really care what it did to the candidate he has been supporting so fiercely from the pulpit.

It's not, rev. wright, that we are not sophisticated enough to understand you. it is that we are.
