Obama Surges on Electability,
[Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Barack Obama has knocked down one of the three tent poles of Hillary Clinton's campaign for president, surging ahead of her as the candidate Democrats see as most likely to win in November. He's challenging her on leadership as well, leaving only experience as a clear Clinton advantage in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll.

PHILADELPHIA, April 15 -- Lost in the Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign's aggressive attacks on Barack Obama in recent days is a deep and enduring problem that threatens to undercut any inroads Clinton has made in her struggle to overtake him in the Democratic presidential race: She has lost trust among voters, a majority of whom now view her as dishonest.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]____I supported Kerry and still like him. You forgot to mention his failings:
1.Didn't attack the swiftboaters
2.Lacked charimsa and speaking abilities
3.Let his opponents define him_____
I agree with you on 1 and 3. But I must protest vehemently on number 2. Bush was far more number 2, and I mean a dufus and a bumbler, than Kerry. Kerry spoke in perfect sentences and made sense. Bush just fumbled through. What Kerry lost to was an extremely well oiled and well financed right wing and should he have responded to the swiftboat fast and furious, he would have been elected.
Obama is now surging because he is not taking HIllary's dirty tricks lying down. He is responding fast and furious.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You are a scholar and a gentleman.
President Obama must keep the Clintons far far far away from his administration. If Bill can sabotage his own cuckolded spouse, when time and again he has sidetracked her run for the White House, what do you think THEY will do to Obama? Nope. Don't trust them.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Completely agree with you. Both Tripster and Madden's articles are anecdotal and really do not present the reality on the ground.
But I am heartened by the ABC / Washington Post poll.

Bill Clinton: Older voters too savvy to fall for Obama
[Read the article: Bitter as hell in Pennsylvania]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2008/04/bill_clinton_ol.html
Last week, however, Clinton seemed to suggest that older voters might be more absent-minded than wise. Defending Hillary Clinton's faulty recollection of landing under sniper fire during a 1996 humanitarian visit to Bosnia, the former president said of her critics, "When they're 60, they'll forget something when they're tired at 11 o'clock at night, too."

Her formerly double-digit lead is now just a five-point margin in Pennsylvania, survey finds. The reduced margin makes a win for her there less significant. She trails Obama among Hoosiers.
By Janet Hook, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
2:00 PM PDT, April 15, 2008
WASHINGTON -- With three crucial Democratic primaries looming, Hillary Rodham Clinton may not be headed toward the blockbuster victories she needs to jump-start her presidential bid -- even in Pennsylvania, the state that was supposed to be her ace in the hole, a new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll has found.

Cry Uncle for me
[Read the article: Bitter as hell in Pennsylvania]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I agree with you on Kerry. Most of the time he reminded me of that now dead patricianlike Bill Buckley, but of course, Kerry is a much better person that Buckley could ever be. Oh. Did Gore Vidal gore him in one obituary.
But I was comparing Kerry to Bush, because who else did we have to compare and contrast in our pick of who should be President. Bush would have failed if her was running for high school president. But alas! Like Jon Stewar would say "he talked to us as if we were adults." I mean Kerry

These days, it's serving as a day care center for Obama whiners
and Hillarobots who will need to join a 12 step program along with Joan to go through the
Five Stages Of Grief
1. Denial and Isolation.
2. Anger.
3. Bargaining.
4. Depression.
5. Acceptance.
Let the healing process begin, no?

The Notorious W.E.S.
[Read the article: Don't blame San Francisco for Obama's "Bittergate"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The purpose is to win, right WES? Hillary uses dirty attack ads and tries to define Obama. He spends to define who she is, and by any measure, most people think she is dishonest. She squandered her war chest, he keeps raising money to spend for his campaign. What's the rub on that?
Hope your daycare at Salon is not very harsh.
