[Read the article: Krugman asks "what's gone wrong" with Obama campaign]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I guess I don't believe anyone is perfect. Not Obama or Clinton.
I voted for Bill twice so obviously scandals don't keep me from voting for someone.
I assume you support Hillary, so you must be immune to this garbage as well.
That's why it smells so much like bullshit when Clinton supporters claim they can't vote for Obama for things that don't even come close to what the Clintons have been accused of over the years.
I'm not going to go through the Clinton scandals greatest hits; but if none of their baggage gives you pause, I sincerely doubt that anything Obama has been accused of would give a moment's thought.
If Hillary Clinton was squeaky clean, I guess we could understand why the mildest taint on Obama would be a problem for you. But Obama has a long, long way to go to reach the scandal level of the Clintons.
So either corruption bothers you a great deal, and you are not a Clinton supporter; or you're a hypocite.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama smeared Clinton with race?
The last thing Obama wanted was to be the black candidate.
I didn't think that Bill's fairy tale comment was racist but to suggest SC was no big deal because Jackson won there too, what the hell is that?
Obama put together a hell of a campaign. He raised cash, put together an incredible ground organization in caucus states and his organization had a good grasp of the many twist and turns in the primary process in multiple states.
That stayed on message and out organized the vaunted Clinton machine.
And Clinton and his supporters make it seem that being black gave him some kind of bizarro advantage.
It reminds me of a black athelete who trains hard every day, sticks to a strict diet, learns all the ins and outs of the sport and someone comes along and says he's a great athelete because he's black.
No I ask YOU, how can I be expected to vote for someone like that?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama has only been "accused" as well.
He certainly has never been impeached from office, pardoned a terrorist or had his law license revoked for lying under oath; but no one is perfect.
Wow, who has the messianic complex now?
I'm not sure what the untold benefits she brought to millions of Americans you're referring to. I guess that's why they're "untold".
What was it that Hillary did that benefited millions of Americans?
Was it the Welfare reform? NAFTA? Universal health care? Her vote on Iraq?
Please, enlighten me on how Hillary Clinton has made my children's world a better place.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's like her raising 10M bucks in one day.
Can't and won't be verified of when it was really given or who donated the money and the story keeps changing; but hey, she got 24 hours of positive spin and isn't that what's important in a leader of the free world?
And oddly enough, Salon has a connection to this little shell game the Clinton campaign is pulling with their own Peter Daou pulling the reins.
Whatever happened to the Daou Report?
Oh yeah, now I remember.
