[Read the article: Krugman asks "what's gone wrong" with Obama campaign]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Know what's kinda funny? When I read your block quote of the Rush Troll I thought for a split second that she wrote "Americans who collect guns and/or hunt Jews"
which considering her barely contained animosity to "that black fella" is kind of in keeping with her persona.
:)
cheers!
p.s. I agree with you...just ignore these obvious plants. Those like AKA smith are reasonable and worthy of debate.

[Read the article: Dean: "We really can't have a divided convention"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]re: the proposed debate.
It seems pretty clear that she wants them mostly for the free facetime as she's running pret-ty lean on the funds right now. As the front runner Obama would be mildly foolish to accept and essentially give her free advertising.
it all boils down to money i'm afraid (as always)
cheers!

sigh...
[Read the article: Dean: "We really can't have a divided convention"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Third, Michigan and Florida are instantly lost to the Democrats in the presidential election if Dean refuses to bring them into the fold immediately"
I hear this claim ALOT from the Clinton camp. Frankly I find it the heighth of absurdity to say that come November, when we reach the fever pitch of the election, that the good people of Florida and Michigan will still be sitting in the corner refusing to play along because their state party did something outrageously stupid. By the same logic, someone who voted for a different candidate than the winner in the primary will also stay home, or vote Republican. I quite frankly find it hard to believe that people will be THAT bitter.
It smells more like fear-mongering from the Clinton Camp than anything else.

really??
[Read the article: Dean: "We really can't have a divided convention"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"while the other, clearly more viable candidate pushes on, hobbled by her own party."
really?
Ohio - Gov Strickland
Pennsylvania - Ed Rendell
Indiana - Evan Bayh.
REALLY?!?!
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't she endorsed and HEAVILY supported by all these guys? Did they not essentially take a holiday from their regular jobs to traverse their states stumping for Clinton? Care to enlighten me as to how this means she has been "hobbled" by her own party?
kate you spin me right round baby, just like a record baby!

[Read the article: Dean: "We really can't have a divided convention"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]does the rabid rantings of any number of Clinton supporters ring any bells for you?
I mean when he's not being called "buckwheat" here he's being called a "terrorist", a "secret-muslim" or the "Affirmative Action candidate".
all pretty odious stuff if you ask me.
But then again who cares? Since when does the actions of a handful of morons influence how one votes? I gotta say, if you are swayed from supporting a candidate because of 5 or 6 idiots on the anonymous internets then you should take a deep hard look at yourself in the mirror.
also - Dean? Pelosi? Biden? I wasn't aware that any of them had endorsed Obama at all...unless you mean Dean and Pelosi saying that the supers should make their minds up sooner rather than later is proof that they're knee-capping Clinton - but that's some pret-ty flimsy evidence my friend.

what's that old saying?

ah fuck it.
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]We might as well just let McCain run unopposed eh? I mean what, with Clinton being well, Clinton and the 50% of the nation that hates her, and Obama getting destroyed by the words of someone else.
think about that for a second. People are ready to metaphorically string him up over the words and actions of someone else. Not his words, someone else's words. What an insane world we live in...he didn't even say them, SOMEONE ELSE DID.
I mean if I was running for office and it came out that my boss, the man that mentored me at the beginning of my career, the guy that taught me everything i know, says terribly offensive, sexist and racist things quite freely - should that mean my political career would be dead in the water?
Apparently so.
alright, alright...we might as well concede, tap out, let the bigots win.
fuck it, you win.

[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think it's becoming increasingly clear that "Clinton Rules" are a walk in the park compared to "Obama Rules".
Apparently black politicians can only run for office if they somehow don't remind the bigots that he's actually black. Otherwise he has to apologise for every last mildly incendiary thing any black leader has ever said.
Can anybody remember a career getting sunk on such an insane issue? Has a white male candidate ever lost the nomination because of what someone he knows said?
(i ask this in all seriousness...can anyone recall such a thing happening before?)

@Refractor
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]With all due respect, I'm guessing he meant "white" to mean "Christian" and "Jewish" to mean, uhh, "Jewish".
It doesn't surprise me that a Christian pastor assumes all white americans are Christian...

probably none
[Read the article: How much voter fraud is there, really?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I read an article very similar to yours in Harper's a while back and was fairly shocked at the temerity of the Republicans on this issue (I know! Quel Surprise! ;)
Actually in Canada you don't even need to prove citizenship...you can show up at the polling station with your license and proof of residence and you can vote. I've never heard even a peep about voter fraud up here
cheers!
