The Gloves Better Come Off Tonight
[Read the article: New McCain ad: "Hillary's right"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's time for the Democrats to stop be so concerned about a percentage of disgruntled Hillary voters. I'm not suggesting they don't matter, because they certainly do, but they need to start hitting hard on the things that affect everyone, specifically economics. If this campaign is about anything, economics is it. Remove race and gender from the conversation and I think that's where we end up. Maybe the PUMA's have a hell of a lot more money than I do and it doesn't matter as much to them as it does to me. There are a lot of independents out there that need to know what Obama plans to do and what McCain wants to do. For example, McCain is for privatizing Social Security which is a terrible idea. I think his administration will waste time making another run at trying to accomplish this. He also thinks Phil Gramm is an economic genius. If that doesn't shake enough people into the reality of what a McCain presidency will offer, I can't help you.

@ CParis1 and Michael in Maine
[Read the article: Mitt Romney joins the mile-high club]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In a nutshell, Cindy McCain's fortune is built on the relationship her father, James Hensley, had with Kemper Marley. James Hensley was a convicted felon and he received his Budweiser distributorship through his connection with Kemper Marley. Arizona investigators have long believed that it was Kemper Marley who was behind the 1976 murder of reporter Don Bolles. (I am not suggesting that James Hensley was involved in the murder, I only want to illustrate with what kind of person Mr. Hensley associated with and that relationship is was the source of his wealth.) For some reason, the press is determined not to mention the fact that Cindy McCain's father is a convicted felon.
The right is living in the past, that's the only place they're comfortable and can control the conversation. I don't want to live in the past - the last eight years have been miserable and I want to move forward. The middle-class is disappearing due in part to paying for too many corporate mistakes. The only place socialism exists in this country is at the top levels of government and business.

Romney Fun Fact
[Read the article: Mitt Romney joins the mile-high club]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I found this quote in a piece published in the LA Times in December, 2007:
Some of Romney’s colleagues recall him as vain, however, and focused only on the bottom line. They saw him as impatient and unconcerned about those affected by his decisions.
“They’re whitewashing his career now,” said Marc B. Wolpow, a former managing director at Bain Capital who opposes Romney’s White House bid. “We had a scheme where the rich got richer. I did it, and I feel good about it. But I’m not planning to run for office.”

Thanks For the 2012 Speculation, But
[Read the article: Clinton vs. Warner Tuesday night (and 2012?)]

Absolutely Fabulous
[Read the article: What'd you think of Hillary Clinton's speech?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She's a pro and proved that she is able of handling herself better than Ronald Reagan and Ted Kennedy under similar circumstances. (That said, it was moving to see Ted last night. I count on him a lot in the Senate since my senators are John McCain and Jon Kyl - lucky me.)
If there was anyone who didn't truly understand her, it was Mark Penn.

Design Star Wrapped, Alex
[Read the article: Greek columns? Really?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm more of a minimalist myself, but I agree with debaser, I think the concept is to evoke the Lincoln Memorial.
Speaking of the Roman Empire, I think that's where those Cecil B. De Mille plywood columns are since that sand and sandals epic was shot at Cinecitta.
