she's had only one superdelegate endorse her since March 4?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am hoping that this election is also against the politics of the media. I just listened to a speech that Obama made today about last night's debate where he castigated the media for not asking substantive questions on the war and the economy. Could it get so that the American people are fed up with the media and not paying much attention? Will there be a change in the Obama administration where "Fairness in the Media" will be reinstated?

What a painful debate to watch! Where is Dennis Kucinich when you need him? At least Kucinich dared to point out how off base the “moderators” were in some of the debates he was in.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You cannot prognosticate how people will vote, now can you? You probably did not prophesy that Obama would come this far either. Check your runes circa January 2008 and see who you prophesied.
The more important question is, who will YOU vote for, Obama or McCain?

McCain will not win. There are too many people angry about the war and about their pocketbooks. We will have a Democrat in the White House, and you will be on the right side of history.

ABC criticized for handling of Democratic debate
[Read the article: The fallout from the Democratic debate]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Critics excoriated ABC on Thursday for its televised Democratic presidential debate, slamming the network for "shoddy, despicable" moderators who they said favored Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama and dwelled on "gossip" instead of issues.
Critics ripped ABC journalists Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, a former Bill Clinton staffer, for wasting time during Wednesday's debate on questions like why Obama wasn't wearing an American flag pin or rehashing old disputes.

Performance By ABC's Moderators Is a Matter Of Debate
[Read the article: Obama and Clinton fizzle in Philly]

The political fallout from the Philadelphia face-off between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton was all but eclipsed yesterday by a fierce debate about Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos.
The ABC moderators found themselves under fire for focusing on campaign gaffes and training most of their ammunition on Obama. Huffington Post blogger Jason Linkins called the debate "utterly asinine." Washington Post television critic Tom Shales called the duo's performance "despicable." Philadelphia Daily News columnist Will Bunch said the moderators "disgraced the American voters, and in fact even disgraced democracy itself."

My Recollection of Hillary Clinton at the 1995 Camp David MeetingTheda Skocpol, 04.17.2008
Hillary Clinton was among the most cold-blooded analysts in attendance. She spoke of ordinary voters as if they were a species apart, and showed interest only in the political usefulness of their choices.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Salon.com is also a troll for Clinton. So I decided a while back to not read Walsh & co. Hillary heists, have cancelled my subscription and post alternative media commentary on Salon letters. How else can we take the country back from lobbyists and status quo media of which Salon.com has now become?

Letter to Hillary: Remember When John McCain Slimed Your Daughter?
[Read the article: Obama, get ready for the "Clinton rules"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-loeb/letter-to-hillary-remembe_b_97004.html
Dear Hillary,
Reasons abound why you should do all you can to defeat John McCain--but for you, it should be personal. Maybe you've forgotten in the heat of the Democratic contest. But remember McCain's cruel joke about your daughter, when Chelsea was 18 and vulnerable. This alone should give you every reason to stand against McCain--and nothing to boost his chances.
McCain made the joke at a 1998 Republican Senate fundraiser. "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?" he asked. "Because her father is Janet Reno." Chelsea was a lovely young woman then, and is even lovelier now. But when you're 18, an attack like that can be deeply wounding. It's outrageous for McCain to slime an innocent young woman who'd done nothing to offend him--just to throw red meat to a Republican crowd.

You are right. Hillary could not fight the vast right wing conspiracy, so she joined them. Isn't that how you win, at any cost?

What Does 9/11 Have to Do with 60's Radicals? Ask Hillary Clinton
[Read the article: Obama, get ready for the "Clinton rules"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]http://alternet.org/election08/82703/
While nearly all politicians shade the truth now and then, some utterly disdain the truth, a category that includes George W. Bush and increasingly Hillary Clinton, as she made clear again in Wednesday night's debate on the strange topic of Vietnam-era Weather Underground leader William Ayers.
Since last year, the Clinton campaign has been pushing the supposed Ayers connection to Barack Obama as an attack "theme" to take down his candidacy. But Clinton went even further in the debate suggesting that Ayers had reveled in the 9/11 attacks -- a false claim clearly meant to inflame Americans against Obama.
Ayers, now a graying college English professor living in Chicago, did support Obama's state senate campaign and served with Obama on a board of the Woods Fund of Chicago, a philanthropy that gives out grants aimed at alleviating poverty.
