SLEEP Deprived?
[Read the article: Clinton: Wright "would not have been my pastor"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I thought she was working all hours, ready to answer that phone at 3 a.m., no matter what.
She lied. Period. There is no excuse except to admit it and say, I'm sorry, I wanted to look better than I am. I made something up.
John McCain is going to win this election if that harridan Hillary doesn't stop this. I don't care if she wants to keep running, but this campaign has GOT to move to a higher level of discourse. For God's sake, will this woman tear the whole Democratic party and the future of our country to shreds for her own ambition?
Isn't someone in the Democratic party strong enough to speak up?

And speaking of "choices"
[Read the article: Clinton: Wright "would not have been my pastor"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hillary, you DO choose your family. You chose to stand by Bill Clinton. A lot of people in this country thought you should have left him. Although it looks like you have a marriage in name only, a marriage of political convenience, what do we know? Perhaps you truly loved the man, saw past his obvious shortcomings and moral flaws, looked at the bigger picture of your daughter and family, and decided to forgive and see the good in him.
Which is what I think Barack Obama said about Rev. Wright.
SHUT UP!

Please, Democratic Candidates!
[Read the article: "We have been told to fight the Americans"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Look at the world around you. Look at what is happening in Iraq, in Darfur, in Pakistan ...
STOP INSULTING EACH OTHER AND NITPICKING PETTY ISSUES AND START ACTING PRESIDENTIAL AND TALKING ABOUT THE LIFE OR DEATH ISSUES THAT WE ARE FACING AS A NATION!
We cannot afford another McBush in the White House for four more years. We need LEADERSHIP.
Will somebody please bring some sense to the Democratic party and pull together to lead this nation before it's too late.

heard it on the radio
[Read the article: A boom in Democratic registrations]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I was en route with someone to a meeting today -- driver had Limbaugh on the radio. He and callers-in were gloating over the "Chaos Project" they were pushing to get as many Republicans as possible to vote for Hillary Clinton. He talked at length to one caller who said he had not only voted for Hillary in Texas with a lot of his friends, but they had gone on to caucus for her, and he had been elected a delegate and now might be going to the convention in Denver. He was gleeful at the idea of being a "mole" at the convention.
Limbaugh was exhorting people for the entire 30 minutes we were in the car (and didn't sound like he was winding down when we mercifully arrived at our destination)to get out there and vote for Hillary to assure a McCain victory in November. Seriously, I am NOT making this up. I was shocked at how many callers were calling to report they had been doing this and how open they all were about it.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Looks like it might be Rush Limbaugh's doing, though... see post below.

No credibility
[Read the article: How the long primary battle helps Democrats]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm sorry -- the surge of Republicans registering Democrat for the primaries doesn't impress me at all -- I'd say it's primarily the Republican party, with nothing more to do to get its own nominee, trying to meddle with the Democratic primaries. I'd love to see some actually good polling on how many of those Republicans registering Democratic actually plan to vote for a Democrat in November.

I'm confused
[Read the article: Michigan primary law ruled unconstitutional]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What, exactly, was voted unconstitutional? I can't really understand this posting.

[Read the article: Michigan primary law ruled unconstitutional]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thanks, Peeps.
So the ruling really didn't have anything to do with the primary in the first place.

Hillary fiddles while Rome burns
[Read the article: Reid, Pelosi get entangled in the presidential race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She has not persuaded the party to get behind her; she will not win the delegates; meanwhile, John McCain is looking more and more presidential and the Democrats are entangled in an endless loop of trivial attacks which will weaken the party in the presidential race.
Someone needs to pull the plug on this and get wise to the fact that we're running against John McCain. It wasn't that long ago that the Democratic position was so strong that people thought ANYONE could beat McCain; it was our race to lose.
Well, looks like we've figured out how to do that ... Give in to the phenomenal ego of the Clinton political establishment and keep a race going that anyone else, with any other name, would have abandoned before now.

counting ants
[Read the article: The return of Joementum]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Are all of us just counting ants as the field burns?
Does it matter that Pres. Bush (and John McCain)are making speeches about "victory" in Iraq and the success of the surge EVEN AS the country is embroiled in civil war right now and the oil pipeline bombing has sent oil prices UP again? Are these people MAD?
How can we keep talking about all this small stuff when we have a huge world crisis on our hands -- brought about by the Bush administration's inept foreign and domestic policy.
Come on, Democrats. UNITE. We need to start taking leadership of this mess before it's too late. I don't give a darn about Joe Lieberman. He's irrelevant and he's a single-issue moron.
I do care that we elect responsible leadership and change the direction of this country, and the more we squabble about trivia, the less likely that is.

Huge leap
[Read the article: Obama-Bloomberg '08?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bloomberg is a savvy guy and he has a lot of economic credibility. It is a good thing for Obama to have his respect.
Obama has said he plans to have a diverse administration and consult people from both parties. So being on the podium with Bloomberg makes that a visible promise.
It's a huge leap from that -- Bloomberg respects Obama (and, who knows?, may support him) to running mate. It seems like such a disservice to the public for the press to make these silly speculative remarks, based on nothing, and actually distract attention from the story.
The story I am interested in is what did Obama propose, as far as policy, and is he consulting on the economy with Bloomberg?
