[Read the article: Who wants to be a Democrat?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And how many of those things were said by Obama?
I think that McCain is doing himself a disservice jumping on these comment so early. I was talking to the wife earlier and it just occurred to me what the unintended effect of the Wright "scandal" will be: NO MORE MUSLIM TALK! See, there's his CRISTIAN minister on the news. That's right folks, Obama's CHRISTIAN. If Obama deals with this correctly, it will be out of the news cycle in a week, with a month to go before Penn...
Truly, what Wright has said is no more offensive to me than Repubs calling climate change a conspiracy or various crap spewed by any of McCain's cadre of white preachers and televangelists who endorsed him. And what has more truth to it: That we were attacked on 9/11 because of the gays (as one of McCain's ministers did) or because we unapologetically kill more people around the world with our military involvement than 100s of 9/11s, mostly in the name of money and power?

Regarding who's correct..
[Read the article: Memo to Clinton and Obama: Stop spinning]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]..Ferraro or Wright:
When was the last time a woman was hung from a tree until dead because she tried to vote? Yea, that's what I thought...
Wright is an ex-Marine - he has earned the right to speak about the country he defended any way he likes. He has been privvy to the unique experience of being brainwashed to think that he was putting his life on the line to preserve "freedom" and then having the reality of Jim Crow smack it out of him almost instantly. Ever seen a de-programming. It's not pretty, and the person is ALWAYS a little bitter against the brainwashers for the rest of their days.
Obama has the right to determine who is part of his campaign "staff" as much as Hillary is. If we want to start going into "company you keep" comparisons, I think the Hillbots will be very upset (and a bit surprised) where it takes them.
Google Mehmet Celebi, Peter Paul vs. Clinton or Huma Abedin to see what you're up against Hillbots. Check out this website:
http://www.nohillaryclinton.com/
and ask yourself how many rightwingers have had anti-Obama sites up since 2006. Hell, Google "Stop Hillary Clinton" and see how many are already up.
After that email Hillary and tell her, for the good of the party and the country, she needs to concede. We don't need this election sacrificed for Her Majesty's ego. She doesn't deserve to be president just because her husband cheated on her (that would be half of the married women and 30% or the men, so the line forms to the right) which is the "experience" that she's really touting..

And that is why I love Markos...

[Read the article: Daily Kos writers' "strike" gets ugly]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"For once, maybe MY vote counts as much as someone in New Hampshire or Iowa!!! Wow!"
At this point, the most important people in the whole U.S. of A. will be the fine citizens of Puerto Rico, just as the founding fathers intended...

[Read the article: Murtha endorses Clinton]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]How about practicing what you preach: instead of telling us (5 times) what you think of Obama, tell us why you like Clinton.
I'd love to hear it.
As far as Murtha's concerned, it may net Hill a few votes in his district, but when it comes to the GE (you know, that part of the election where the majority of blue-collar workers still vote GOP) he's unlikely to get her anything more than, well, his vote.
Abscam was a bitch. Murtha's lucky he still has a career ("I'm not interested... at this point."). Mostly because he threw his own party members under the bus...
Wait... now the endorsement makes sense!!

If policy positions were posted on the internets,...
[Read the article: Hillary Clinton's plan to fix the economy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]but no one covered it, does it still exist? Surprisingly, yes!:

And yes, "blank", Obama gave a speech about it last week: YouTube-it, yourself, if you're not too busy..
