@Kasha - and this is why McCain will win
[Read the article: Ignore the McCain vs. Obama polls]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's so easy to ignore McCain in every category. He's entirely forgettable.
Just one more entry in the Progressive Ship Of Fools sweepstakes. Guess you missed McCain on SNL last night, huh? He's making all the right moves, luring in millions of key moderate voters, many of whom have enormous doubts about Obama. I'm one of the many who are up for grabs, should Hillary Clinton be shoved aside. I've voted for precisely one Republican in my life - Gerald Ford, and I'm becoming increasingly open to the possibility of not writing in Hillary's name, but instead pushing the button for McCain. So how do you suppose the many millions with far more moderate voting records than mine are leaning? Clue: it's not toward Obama.

All it took was the headline
[Read the article: Are the Jews good for Barack Obama?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Talk about getting it backwards. What's next? Are free and fair elections good for Barack Obama? When the hell are some of you going to start asking whether Obama is good for the Jews or any other interest group, for that matter, for this entire country? Jeesus, talk about acute fluffy pillow syndrome. This is getting beyond creepy.

[Read the article: Ignore the McCain vs. Obama polls]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Frankly, I think writing in Sen. Clinton's name will surely hand victory to McCain. Why not just vote for him directly?
Actually, it has occurred to me that writing in Hillary's name is more like voting for Santa Claus, should she not gain the nomination. A write-in campaign in her name would at best be a strong protest, soon lost in the shuffle. Voting directly for McCain would feel, well, terribly strange after all these years of almost reflexively going for the D, even though I've always been registered as an Independent. But as time has gone on, like many others, I'm become more open to a McCain presidency, balanced by the Democrats as a congressional majority.
My thought is: just how much damage could McCain do in four years? He's not a Bush clone, much as Obama supporters tend to rail about this, and due to his age, McCain is highly unlikely to go for a second term. In the end, I simply cannot bring myself to vote for Obama, as I don't trust him one bit and believe he stands to damage the Democratic party, if not the entire country, a great deal in the space of one term.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You Hillary dead-enders are truly just dumb, dumb as a box of rocks.
Think of us as just smart enough to know when we're being insulted, nay, trashed (along with our candidate). Over and over and over and over again.
And the proof of your intelligence is what, again?

Stinks big time
[Read the article: Byrd endorses Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Per the Obama camp, super D's are supposed to follow the will of the voters. Except, of course, when that works against Obama's ends. Shame on Byrd - his state voted overwhelmingly for Hillary and his constituents have been trashed by the Obama camp as a bunch of illiterate racists. Guess dirty energy won the day, along with dirty politics. The Democratic party can kiss its butt goodbye come November if this continues. Voters are becoming more and more disgusted with the so called 'leaders' of the party and their transparent attempts to foist Obama - by far the less able remaining candidate - onto voters who simply do not want him.

@SteveFox
[Read the article: Salon in the news]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why on earth are you even considering voting for Obama, given the number of points you posted which clearly - and convincingly - argue against his candidacy? And why on earth would you consider voting for a candidate who attracts the sort of hate-filled followers so evident here on 'progressive' salon?
As for Obama's books: they should've been remaindered long, long ago. They have about as much credibility as Clifford Irving's faked scribblings on Howard Hughes.

[Read the article: Networks call Kentucky for Clinton]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It doesn't matter what Hillary's margin in Kentucky will be. Obama will find a way to walk all over her victory and the MSM will flock like lemmings to his side per usual, relegating Hillary to a another funeral notice aside. Just another day in looking glass land.

[Read the article: Networks call Kentucky for Clinton]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Sorry, but that tired old Republican chestnus has been retired, after acknowledgment that Obama has likely gotten more 'mischief' votes' than has Hillary, small as the totals for either may be. Give it up. There are voters out there, millions of them, who actually like Hillary.

It's more like very long division
[Read the article: Division in Democratic ranks?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is when the Obama scorched-earth-policy chickens come home to roost. Ain't no taking back all these months of base attacks on Hillary by Obama, his campaign, his supporters, and the MSM. Women have had a rude awakening regarding the deep misogyny within the so-called progressive ranks. Turns out nothing much has changed since the Sixties. This time there'll be a heavy price attached, maybe a high enough one to wake up a few people. Had Obama made one, just one noise about the rampant sexism, things might be a bit different. But then again, he was and is part of the problem. Same goes for the racism bit, which is still at full throttle. You can't insult voters this badly and hope to bring them around in the end. At least not huge percentages of them.

JUST STUFF IT!
[Read the article: Polls show economic divide in Tuesday's votes]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why not mention that exit polls in KY indicate that Hillary is winning the vote across the economic board? Oh, that would be too honest and objective? Hokay, back to the 'trailer trash for Hillary' meme. Sorry for raising my voice.
