Honestly, I can't tell you apart. If you insist on not getting a pseudonym (which is a rather simple process) expect to be ignored by most on these forums, no matter how valid your posts (and that validity number is at an all-time low in this thread).

RE: Hope. I seem to remember a certain Gov. of Arkansas running as the "man from Hope." He was the lucky recipient of a plurality, but not a majority, of the votes in the 1992 election, thanks mostly to Ross Perot. So, in my book, the whole "Clintons know how to win" meme is a bunch of hooey to anyone who can remember the early 90s.

These self-same Clintons completely sold out the poor with "Welfare Reform" and sold out the middle class with NAFTA (along with giving the banking/credit industry every item on their wish lists) so excuse me if I'm a bit skeptical about any real liberal progress coming from a HRC presidency. They will sell out progressive values in order to seem as if they are accomplishing something in a heartbeat. Bill did it. So will Hill. And count me as one of those Obama supporters who will not line up behind HRC if she gets the nomination. There's a reason why both Bloomberg AND Nader are planning to run in the event of a HRC nomination. And I would rather see a GOP one-termer for the next 4 years than see the endless cycle of Bushs and Clintons continue one day longer.

Lastly, Obama just wants to be the 1st Black president? Really? As if HRC's entire life (which started in the GOP, btw) up to this moment was not all about her, and her being the "First Woman President"™.

You've manage to capture every Salon Letters Board since the primaries began. Who says the talent doesn't read the fan mail?

"The Patriots are cheating cheaters who cheat, and cheaters never win, notwithstanding those 18 wins so far, achieved by cheating. By the cheaters. Who cheat."

Did Lynx help you write this column? I laughed out loud at least 3 or 4 times... funny stuff...

..for instigating Lynx. I mean its just so easy sometimes. But 90+ letters, seemingly half of them from the L-man, was never my intention. Guess they have to get it out of their system - the seasons almost over!

Also, a little love for my Com-Patriots in N.E. fan-dom. We've gone through a tough season what with the cheating thing and the perfect thing and the running-it-up thing – honestly, I'm emotionally spent. Our team now stands at the precipice of either 19-0 (which is whisper thin less awesome than the 2004 Red Sox) or the biggest ha-ha-your-team-are-the-biggest-chokers-of-all-time-and-its-what-they-deserve-for-cheating (which is whisper thin from either Dent or Buckner - I can't decide which one)!

I know I'm gonna get alot of boos (if anyone's still paying attention) about its just another Boston fan bitching because that's what we do, not knowing how good we have it, or just being another annoying fan-boy. But I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to my peeps: the fans who are still surprised out of our god forsaken minds whenever Boston wins or does something meaningful. Cause that's what it means to be a Boston fan - never taking the successes as preordained. WE hate being the favorites. Honestly.

Go Pats!
