Mrs. Walsh,
I found this article to be all over the place. It appears to be presented as a news article or essay, though is clearly biased against Mr. Obama.
With Obama closing a 30-plus point gap in California, one would think the gist of any article on his California campaign would be positive, but you instead make obscure negative assertions that his campaign never understood California's Latino demographic until this week, or that he had foolishly wasted his fortunes in other, less important states.
Your editorializing reached the absurd when you interjected into a quotation from one of his supporters (who mentioned his stint at Occidental College) that he, in fact, actually graduated from 'Ivy League Columbia,' as if to diminish his life at the small minority Occidental in Los Angeles. Salon readers are well aware Columbia is an Ivy League school.
In the future please keep the editorializing out of the news and keep it more focused. This article had no focus except a vague distaste for Obama's presidential aspirations!
The biggest loser here was neither Obama nor Hilary, but ABC news, who devoted roughly half of its 90 minute debate to non-policy questions. Boo for ABC News.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
