oh please...
[Read the article: Wait! Don't buy an iPhone for the holidays!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Mr. Manjoo you seem to be cognitively impaired. AT&T doesn't lock you into a particular iphone model, just a contract. I am sure they will allow iphone users to upgrade their phones as desired.

You are distorting what Gloria said and you know it
[Read the article: The race vs. gender war]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]in essence Steinam was saying that sexism trumps race? She said NO SUCH THING, she said racism is conscious and sexism isn't and said as much in your article. How dare you! As a liberal San Franciscan that has been supporting salon since its inception, i can say this is the last salon article I ever read

Pro-hillary coverage? Pulleeeezee
[Read the article: Obama in the Women's Building!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Ancient asinine: A new report by the project for excellence in journalism concluded that of all the media coverage of Hillary Clinton, 60% was negative, while 70% of Obama coverage has been positive. From my reading of salon, it is consistent with this- so stop whining about the slanted pro-hillary coverage. You like a white male complaining about affirmative action.

sexist pigs, stay home then
[Read the article: Paris goes big for Hillary Clinton]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Amazing how Obama supporters are planning to not vote in the general election when Hillary gets the nomination and she will. I am an hispanic woman with an advanced degree and I can tell you that women and hispanics will make the difference in this race and in the general election. But you'd think these obama supporting democrats think a woman would be worse than George W. Bush. Sad- there is no basis for such hate. She has a good economic plan, a good health care plan and everything else a dem would want. There is no basis for such hate except for sexism and you know it.

we have to come together!!!
[Read the article: The battle for Nevada]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Doleres Flower:: your selective spin -researched carefully I am sure on the internet sites with only the most truthful of information- is not helping the democratic party at all. I am a Clinton supporter because I think she has the most thoughtful and crafted policies that can be implemented in an expedient way. She is a wonk and knows how to dot her i's and cross her t's. I would hire her to run my company and I trust her, but if Obama is the candidate then yes, I will support him, no doubt! I will walk door to door on his behalf, although in San Francisco that would be moot. The point of this and Joan's column is that we need to come together and this divisiveness is not good for our party. GET IT? Enough Clinton hating. It is hurting our party!

[Read the article: The battle for Nevada]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am amazed that my response to your post makes you "sad" and you think that I am accusing anyone of hating clinton or as someone who thinks that Obama supporters and Clinton supporters are fundamentally different. I think the title "come together" should have defied this deduction. I am a biracial woman with a PhD and so yes, I have a certain affinity for Obama and have read everything you have, I assure you. I am sorry my personal choice of candidates after my own careful analysis of their positions is offensive to you and I still hope you and I can come together in support of whoever the democratic candidate is to ensure we can stop the destruction of our democracy by corporate america and their proxy, the republican party.
Namaste, berrigrl

[Read the article: The battle for Nevada]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Please enough Miss Flower in all due respect I am not in any shape or form mindless even though I disagree with you. And please be cognizant that there exists many links to attest to Obama's campaign dirty tactics, or those of his supporters. This is politics and I think you are being naive and I say this in all respect. Senator Clinton is NOT the great nefarious bogey man. She just isn't. She is an ambitious politician who is a democrat. I will not even address the degree to which I think unconscious sexist assumptions play into the belief that she is manipulative and evil and beyond the pale. She is a politician and a damn good one, none of this arises to even a smidgen of the evil the republicans shamelessly display and will stoop to. So please stop the insanity. I will not agree that my candidate is the evil you think she is and if you disagree, then fine. Please don't call people mindless. I happen to be a 35-year-old who researched and wrote a dissertation and I can vet my own candidate.Thank you very much.

Media to Obama, another present that will blow up in your face
[Read the article: My sanest conversation on TV, ever]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hillary haters- you apparently can call Hillary manipulative, shrill and whatever else but you cannot claim she is not smart. Who would benefit by injecting racial politics into the campaign going into South Carolina? That would be the stupidest thing the Clintons could do. I am sure the media was responsible for this, like the piece suggests, but Obama's campaign capitalized on it and that is smart as well. It was the smart thing to do to won SC and as exit polls suggest it got him 80% of the AA vote. Will it look good to the rest of the country? I don't think so. People will say so he only proved he got the black vote, spanning a backlash, which will be good for the media and very, very bad for the democrats as it will further divide us (meaning dems). But no matter how much you hate Hillary she is not the reason for the racial divide in this country and is not dumb and laying into her at ever moment has given her my female vote, so maybe we should try to be civil.

[Read the article: Did Hillary Clinton really win in Florida?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am a bit more savvy and politically aware than this article assumes. I knew about all these shenanigans while they were happening and I felt the DNC had no choice. The jostling to get in front would be never ending, but that said no candidate can justify denying Florida and Michigan its votes. It is disenfranchisement and if it were Obama that won Florida, there is no doubt the media would be screaming about it and demanding that Floridians be heard.
