[Read the article: How the long primary battle helps Democrats]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She claimed to have "helped start" the federal Children Health Insurance Program -- never mind that the program’s original sponsors noted that Sen. Clinton fought the initial bill and had no role in writing the legislation
Marian Edelman who headed the Children's Defense Fund and Hillary alleged close friend and confidante, broke all ties with the Clintons during their term in office and now has endorsed Obama. I used to think that Dick Morris was an all time sleaze bag. But his rancor against the Clintons is not without just cause.

McCain vs Clinton
[Read the article: How the long primary battle helps Democrats]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I doubt that Clinton will win the nomination. But just for the sake of argument, if she does manage to STEAL the nomination, there is not much that separates her from McCain. She touts his experience, she has voted for the war on Iraq, voted against the ban on cluster bombs, is completely in the pocket of the Israeli lobby, is a fiscal conservative (her husband ended welfare as we know it), remember don't ask don't tell. McCain is not as conservative as many think. He used to be a moderate republican. Doubt if her will pad the supreme court.
I will not vote for either of them, but if McCain wins, at least we will be spared 4 more years of Clinton fatigue

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You are right. There has been a seismic shift in both the primaries. The christian right wing coalition has been defanged by McCain having literally risen from the dead. Who would have thought. But McCain I don't believe, will adhere to the religious right agenda of the Bush administration. He is cosying up to Bush just for campaign reasons. But he was badly burned by Bush's dirty whispering campaign about his fathering a child of color which turned out to be his adopted daughter from Bangla Desh. Where the hell is she anyway? One does not even see or hear about her. McCain is dangerous only as far as the war on Iraq is concerned.
On the Dem side, there is a huge revolution brewing from the left of center progressive wing, that the Clintons had so successfully marginalized in their bid to suck up to their GOP tormentors. So in my math, the fundamentalist christians have lost to a moderate (?) republican, and Clinton has lost big, with the liberal (can I say that?) wing of the Dem Party.
McCain is not so hard to beat folks. That is all media hyperbole. Haven't the polls been wrong all along? McCain was dead in the water and emerged a winner. Clinton had so much money and so much double digit leads. Where is she now? Clawing, scratching, lying and screeching her way to a nomination she will only lose.

Mon Oncle - Stars and Stripes forever

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Who would have thunk that Salon's secret evaluator would give the madam a nice big star. Mon Oncle you and me are one to one. How about that? Thanks for the pointer, but sorry to see such arbitrary allocations based on god knows what.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I, for one, will not vote for Hillary or McCain. Hillary will be a common thief and McCain is Republican.There are other choices. You know, the fastest way to an egalitarian society is to go through some more harrowing fascism. What is four more years. We are still standing, but not the 4,000 brave we lost in the illegal war in Iraq and the over million Iraqi innocent civilians. I don't see Hillary much different.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]What are you so afraid of? That Wright's congregation will take over your neighborhood? You should be more afraid of the white pastors who are more scary than Wright. You know, they hate women, immigrants, gays and lesbians and everything in-between. That is what McCain is standing in front of.
But hell, for you, better white fascist stromtroopers than your imaginary black panthers taking over your lily white neighborhood. You say you are not a racist, but your writing would lead us to think otherwise.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]But to me, it means the possible deaths of loved ones who are soldiers.
It must be nice to be able to view politics in such a cold-blooded way.
I would not have mentioned the 4,000 lost lives were I so cold blooded.
Hillary did vote for the war and continues to praise McCain. What makes you think she is going to end the war? Have you not had enough of her lies? Do you forget the extent of her deceit?

NBC-WSJ POLL: NEW CLINTON LOWS
[Read the article: Reid, Pelosi get entangled in the presidential race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Reality Zone: "As expected, one of the two major Democratic candidates saw a downturn in the latest NBC/WSJ poll, but it's not the candidate that you think. Hillary Clinton is sporting the lowest personal ratings of the campaign. Moreover, her 37 percent positive rating is the lowest the NBC/WSJ poll has recorded since March 2001, two months after she was elected to the U.S. Senate from New York." Electability? Stick a Fork in the Clinton Campaign. Losing in Pledged Delegates, Losing in the Popular Vote, Losing in States Won, and Losing in Electability. In Trying to Drive Obama's Negatives Up, Senator Clinton is Just Driving Hers Even Higher.
