For Clintons, a Time to Find Truest Friends, if they have any left
[Read the article: Will Obama's debate stumble hurt him?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/20/us/politics/20loyalty.html?_r=1&hp=&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&adxnnlx=1208632151-6W+UQe+7EFccmIdd3A00dA
But one person’s “disloyalty” is, to another set of eyes, well-deserved “comeuppance.” And there is no shortage of powerful Democrats who are quick to accuse the Clintons of defining loyalty as a one-way street, with little regard for the sacrifices they have made for a couple whose own political needs seem to their critics always to come first.

While Beltway pundits and others in the national press have alleged that Barack Obama is clearly and obviously out of touch with most not-so-bitter Pennsylvanians, leading newspapers in the state, who ought to know better, seem to disagree.
In recent days Obama has picked up the endorsements of every major paper in the state and many smaller ones.
Papers endorsing Obama include: The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Philadelphia Daily News, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Allentown Morning Call, The Patriot News of Harrisburg, the Scranton Times-Tribune and Bucks County Courier.

Hillary Lost Years Ago, No Matter What Happens in Pennsylvania

And that, in my opinion, has always been Hillary's real inevitability. She doomed herself not a few months ago by failing to put Obama away in an early offensive, but in 2002 by her own voice -- by her own hand, so to speak -- when she announced "aye" to the Iraq war. It was then, in October of that year, on the 11th of that month, that she sowed the seeds of her own political destruction and sealed her fate.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]the arab population increased 15 times in the last century, the palestinian even more. it is the highest in the world. this makes genocide impossible. unpleasant? yes, genocidal no, it is CALLED genocide to equate jews with nazis - which makes christians feel better.
This short para has so many implications, I don't know what to think. So I need clarification. Arab pop has increased 15% and Palestinian even more. So killing a few thousand, a hundred thousand would not be genocide? Is there a count at which time killings become genocide?
Sugarman, I am completely confused by this whole para. Please help me understand what you are saying. Sorry, I just came on and read only a couple pages.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thanks. I got your distinctions. I would differ with you on one point however about the holocaust. You are letting Europe off too easily. All of Europe was also complicit in the genocide of the Jews.
The massacre of the Palestinians also needs to cease.

PA Primary On Tuesday will Kill Bill
[Read the article: Bill Clinton's Golden Oldies act]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Even if Obama lost by a slim margin, he will still win. That will indoubtedly kill Bill and his pumped up legacy of being in bed with the GOP most of his administration. The real scandal was not Monica Lewinsky

Obama is no McGovern
[Read the article: The haunting of the Democrats]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]nor Mondale. I hate to say this, but he does remind me of Clinton the man from Hope, the same hope his wife so derides, now that she is establishment.
Obama is not only a great orator and motivational speaker, but he is also pragmatic and quick to make opportunities out of his mistakes. I am happy to see him take Hillary on and respond to her dirty attack ad, fast and furious.
While Mondale's and McGovern's were running campaigns, Obama is finding himself in front of a movement. The groundswell of support that he has garnered for himself is unprecedented in the history of the United States.
Let's hope that the good people of PA will end Hillary's destructive path to win an unwinnable and fair nomination.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]After Obama wins on Tuesday, it is time for Obama supporters to find greener pastures outside of Salon which in my opinion has become part of that vast right wing conspiracy that Hillary has joined with Scaife Mellon

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think that if she does manage to squeak out a razor thin victory, the superdelegates will come out in force and derail her destructive campaign. At least, that's my hope
