celebrity endorsements
[Read the article: Why John Edwards hasn't endorsed Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Like a jilted prom queen, Edwards is holding out for the best après-homecoming offer from someone who really cares.
That Edwards can't or won't make up his mind is a reflection on him, not Clinton or Obama.

the evil Obamamaniacs are after Edwards!

"College students, college professors, newspaper editors, African Americans, and Democrats making over $200,000 on one side (Obama)"
[Read the article: Why John Edwards hasn't endorsed Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I know serveal people who are supporting Obama, and none of us fit into your "demographic".
This is because it's bogus, like most of your arguments.

"Ohio and Pennsylvania and Florida will drift out of reach."

@dt
[Read the article: Why John Edwards hasn't endorsed Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If it is too close between Obama and Hillary, they may nominate Gore, and I would be happy with that. Then he would have Obama or Hillary as VP. Then we would have a chance. Gore or Hillary, but Barack as our nominee, means McCain as our President.
This kind of thinking is treatable.

You can't measure what you can't define
[Read the article: Is the Internet eroding America's Puritanism -- or making it worse?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This article never really defines puritanism. Is it primarily defined by its willingness to judge others harshly on moral terms? Maybe...I don't really know.
Like the Internet itself, Kamiya presents many opinions on a subject about which many of us lack basic facts.

audacity, lies etc
[Read the article: Barack Obama, working-class hero?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm surprised that such a well-educated, conservative Southern man would take such a sketchy looking, unreferenced blog at face value. Oh wait, I'm not.
-
No Quarter
[Read the article: Barack Obama, working-class hero?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Edited by "Larry C. Johnson":
Mr. Johnson, who worked previously with the Central Intelligence Agency and U.S. State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism, is a recognized expert in the fields of terrorism, aviation security, crisis and risk management.
Well, I can tell you why this particular Salon reader in not interested in the opinions of Mr. Johnson: he sounds like part of the problem, not part of the solution.

"What is you (sic) defense of the fact that Obama's ad is misleading?"
[Read the article: FactCheck.org: Obama statement "a little too slick"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama is not perfect...he is trying to spin the facts about the contributions he receives to his advantage.
Really...after the way you got your knickers into a twist about the "plagiarized speech"...why should anybody take you seriously?
-
I know you are, but what am I?
[Read the article: Hillary's bridge back to the 20th century]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Many people believe that Obama has vision and a sense of social justice, and will surround himself with good advisors to make up for his lack of experience. Bill Richardson comes to mind.
Hillary, apparently, only has to surround herself with Bill. And we all see how well that's been working out.
-
Obama is not Santa
[Read the article: Hillary's bridge back to the 20th century]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And Hillary is not Bill.

"So he surrounded himself with experienced friendly Republicans like Cheney and Powell"
[Read the article: Hillary's bridge back to the 20th century]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And Bush was successful, for the REPUBLICANS. No, it didn't work out so well for the rest of us.
The idea is that Obama would have DEMOCRATIC advisors. So he would be successful for the DEMOCRATS.

he's surrounding himself with Bill Richardson

Beretta?
[Read the article: The Obama difference]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama would be all about ghetto cred with a tec-9.
-
make opportunities
[Read the article: I'm a college student with no natural social skills]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]When I was in college I was very shy, had few friends and practically no romantic life. One of the organized activities that I do remember having fun participating in was inner-tube water polo.
I should have done more of these types of activities, because one is almost forced to be social. If you can just blindly sign up for a bunch of these things, you might find that your social opportunites increase.

survey of polls
[Read the article: The Obama difference]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/general_election_mccain_vs_obama-225.html
Obama looks good in some polls, not so good in others. I don't see how anyone could say he's "out of it".

Billary plans to grab those pledged delegates!

Why even vote? Those whose opinions matter most say Obama can't win!

the Clintons are card-carrying members of the super-rich
[Read the article: Why did Clinton wait to release her tax return?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]but Hillary wants the poor to pay for health insurance with their beer and cig money.
-
Hillary is connected
[Read the article: Hillary's bridge back to the 20th century]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The $109 mil proves it. To me this means she has a much better chance of grabbing both pledged and super delegates at the convention, with all the super-elite Citizens Of The World lurking in the luxury suites.
A great strategy for winning the primary...not so good for the general election.

Why We Hate
[Read the article: Why did Clinton wait to release her tax return?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Really I can only speak for myself. I always felt like the Clintons were Republicans in drag...things were really not all that good during the 90's. The poverty line didn't move much. I certainly was not doing very well...I've actually been much better off under Bush than Clinton, although this has been more in spite of than because of his policies.
The Iraq sanctions always seemed terrible to me...a completely toxic and passive-aggressive way to conduct foreign policy.
NAFTA is of course very complicated and has had both positive and negative effects...mostly positive effects for corporations, and negative effects for workers. Feel free to jump in at this point.
I agree that the personal attacks were ridiculous...who cares who blows him, what Hil thinks about that, etc.
But the $109 mil really caps it. I can no more relate to these people than I can to Mitt Romney, in spite of all their social-justice bullshit.
-
elite compensation is out of hand in general
[Read the article: Why did Clinton wait to release her tax return?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Pop stars with $200 mil, executives with $20 mil severance packages, $15 mil book deals...the point of the pyramid is very sharp indeed. So who cares what I think?
Billary, that's who. If her advisors can't plumb the cramped confines of my prejudiced mind, I might not vote for her! Boo hoo!

The Clintons are Beholden
[Read the article: Why did Clinton wait to release her tax return?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Those super-plush speaking fees might come with some strings. No, there's nothing in the contract but friends certainly do help out friends. It would be interesting to see the name of every corporation that donated funds, er, I mean, paid fees to Bill and Hillary. Oh never mind it's tacky to check up on the royal couple.
