[Read the article: Hillary's race against time]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You needn't ape Shawn; he does that for himself. Regarding Edwards vote, he was fully and completely and believably contrite. he spends his fame and his time working diligently on poverty issues, while the Clintons sleep, figuratively I presume, with lobbyists. He said he was wrong. She never has, never will. It's not what the Clintons do. They didn't have sex with that woman. Bill rode the bubble and took credit. A brilliant man with a fresh eight year shot at change pissed it all away, lost both the house and the senate for the first time in a generation, and then got caught with his pants down to an extent that Bush was able to get close enough to
Gore to steal the election. we owe the clintons not one damned thing.

Hillary Hack
[Read the article: Hillary's race against time]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hillary's not diabolic. She's pedestrian. A plodder. A stone cold predictable insider. Obama may be a talented novice, but it's time to take a chance. Go over the list for the last thirty/forty years. Any standouts? Not a freakin' one. Lincoln didn't have much experience, either. And he was homely, subject to depression, and had a maniac for a wife. Turned out to be the best President we ever had. I'm not saying Obama is going to rise to that height, but I am saying he's worth the risk.

ray-gun
[Read the article: The Politico claims the Iraq war will help McCain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]ronnie brain dead ray-gun was hand picked by a cabal of rich white fascist/oligarchs to be first their teevee spokes thing, then gubmer or kahhleefonya, and preznit. He became a republikan out of greed. When he was a struggling actor, he was a New Dealer. then, when he got paId off by his handlers, he "saw the light" and went around giving the same dull speech saying that big gubmint is the problem. It was when he took office and ran up the national debt more than all his predecessors combined. Small government conservative my ass. Just like Georgie. Ray-gun was a stack of slogans written on three by five cards. he never had an original idea in his whole life. He was a sock puppet, with the fist of Murkan Bidness up his flabby ass.

It's Deep, but it Ain't Truth
[Read the article: Hillary's race against time]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hillary organized and led a campaign that has blown the same 20 point lead you cite Mondale (and that sweetie pie Geraldine the bigot-crone) for losing. As far as the faces of the candidates, the most consistent was Edwards, but he didn't have the novelty factor, so the press froze him out. He would have had the best of both remaining candidates, but that's water over the levee. If Obama has two faces (one for each race, or what?), Hillary has too many to count: stern Mommy Hillary, scolding schoolboy Obama; weepy Hillary, her heart full of love for her fellow Americans (and a growing fear of losing); wonk Hillary, spouting meaningless stats and talking points; sarcastic Hillary, mocking hope and vision and words. The republikans cross over to vote for her in droves when they have the chance 'cause she's the target they've been practicing on. No one knows exactly what to think about the Obama phenomenon. No one expected it, certainly not Rodham. She has consistently the highest negatives by far of any candidate in the race. Karl the Rover is licking his plump chops at the chance to gut another clinton and send her to the taxidermist. Sure, Obama is going to see even more lies and fearmongering ads than Hillary's thrown at him, but McLame ain't exactly free of baggage. The war is worsening, the economy is in a death spiral, and all Honest Johnny can do is ape Bush, only with his 40 year old POW story, and his trophy former mistress, now current wife, to back him. I personally think either Clinton or Obama can beat him; we differ on who has the better shot of the two. the voters and the delegates to date corroborate my version.

Word Choices
[Read the article: Hillary's race against time]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If I were a Hillbot, I'd circumspect about "blow" in your lexicon. If Rodham wins Pennsylvania, it'll be by five points or less. It won't mean squat. Obama will win more states from here on in, and more delegates. He does particularly well in Western states where there are high concentrations of darkies, like Montana. There are as many as four or five per county. They're taking over, them and the frito banditos who are stealing our jobs. Live in your gated communities and your dream world, Clintonistas. There is no easter bunny for widdle Hillary. She's gonna lose the same way she's run her campaign: slowly and dully. Apparently, stamping her foot and pouting didn't make Dean and the DNC seat "her" delegates from Florida and Michigan. If she's going to lose, and she is, at least she could do it with a little style, like Big Bill taking phone calls during a knob job. Now, that's concentration. Hill's not gonna "blow" anything or anyone in Pennsylvania. She might "win". Of course, her blind adherents say she "won" Texas even though she received fewer delegates than Obama did. That's Clinton logic. Now, we'll get six weeks of whining about the sexist media, more fearmongering ad campaigns, and more thinly veiled race cards. Not racism- no sane person thinks the Clintons are actually racist. But they'll use anything- any thing- to win. It's what they do. It's the Wall Mart way. Ask former long-time board member Rodham. Hey, it's "experience", like being in the same building as Bill when he made decisions. That's like saying watching basketball makes you tall. Buh bye, Hillster. Slow fade to, yes, black.
