Try picking some cotton Joan, instead of cherries..

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You're hanging around Chris Matthews too much that's your trouble.
Your ears are tuned in the the harsh squeal of Clinton's voice so whatever she says you easily translate her words into good 'talking points'...talking points defined by her and your media cohorts.
You may as well say "he needs to make the voters want to have a beer with him".
Would you have said the same thing about John F. Kennedy?
Of course not. Didn't Kennedy appeal to 'working class voters' without having to be photographed grabbing some cheese doodles and a coke at a NASCAR rally?
Your style of journalism comes from just those incessant rants of guys like Penn and Rove. You've lost all sense of formatting and are effectively too brainwashed Joan to offer acceptable arguments to people like me.
What I do agree with, hidden in the rest of your b.s., is that Obama does have a similar problem to that of Kerry: he takes a little too long to get to his point.
But then again, it's the very substance of his points that have made him to THE FRONT RUNNER, Joan.
And in doing so he has saved the Democratic party from total oblivion. So far...

You guys need to get out learn how to go ....exploring...????
[Read the article: When did Obama start running for president?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Remember you guys used to do that to find...new?? Or hints of a possible... story??
HOW ABOUT YOU AND POLITICO FILLING UP MY MAILBOX WITH REAL NEWS INSTEAD OF SH**?
Hey, here's a breaking news story for you:
OVER 100 EUROPEAN NATIONS ARE TRYING TO ENACT A NEW CLUSTER MUNITIONS TREATY! BUT THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION ARE SECRETLY THREATENING RETALIATION TO ALL THOSE WHO PARTICIPATE.
>
This is a worldwide effort to finally ban the cluster bombing of innocent civilians. Heard about that?? Of course you have. But just don't want to report the story. Why??
Hillary supports the use of cluster bombs, just like Bush and McCain do.
Because Hillary Clinton did something quite viscious: joined with all of the Republicans to defeat a similar effort in the Senate. Senator Feinstein, Obama and the majority of the Democratic Party introduced the legislation.
Hillary crosssed the aisle to defeat her own party - to support the cluster bombing of innocents.
That's who your local MSM supports, and defends.
After his speech in 2004 and after his books I thought he would be a greqaty candidate

Look to the demographics ..
[Read the article: Breaking the Democratic deadlock]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]New Jersey has just gone Obama. (AP report)
Mike, as an activist more interested in the health of the country and the Democratic party as a whole since Dean came on the scene, I see something entirely different.
The MSM and the blubbering Clintonettes enjoy blasting Obama for his 'elitism's' and 'not relating to the average working man', while overlooking facts staring them right in the face.
Take Indiana for starters. A new poll in CQ shows Obama winning the Independent voters over Clinton by a whopping 15 points, in the midst of the Wright controversy.
Weren't they all just crying in a previous week about how the Independent voters are the most important voters to decide a general election, so Obama needs them to win? Before that, it was another set of goals, and before that another. Now many have had to remove the goal posts all together to keep up with him, because nothing has stopped him so far. Now we have the 'he's an elitist' charge, and the "he can't relate to the average working man" charge.
But here's the sad truth of what they're all missing:
It appears in looking at simple state demographics that this Democratic nomination is not troubled by the country's overall view of Obama, or about racism or elitism, at all. And it isn't the 'average American' that has any trouble with Obama.
Hillary and the MSM ain't going to win that argument.
Nor is this nomination process troubled by the Republicans, whose job it is -we all know- to unseat a Democrat regardless of the cost to the country.
Rather, the current trouble is almost solely due to the shriveled and twisted demographics and bigotry within Obama's own Democratic party. Because in almost every state Obama is winning Independents -and by big margins.
Why do the black v. white and old v. young "troubles" not crop up among Independents? Why do they support Obama in huge numbers and not Hillary? Why in the hell aren't you or the rest of the media asking that question??
Or do we now have a Swift Boat Media too?
The real problem Mike, is that crawling out from the dark corners of the Democratic party are those who are not only willing to use every foul trick out of Rove and Delays' books, but are willing to do something even more onerous. Something no true Conservative Republican would ever do: to throw an election and let their own party lose rather than lose the throne to someone outside their inner zone of 'acceptability'.
Obama will easily win the general with the true Democrats in the party at his back and with a new crop of Republicans and Independents taking a good look at maybe coming back in.
Obama's offers such massive potential, worldwide, I predict we'll have a major landslide of fresh voters and air finally breaking through those stale and musty deadlocked halls of Congress.
And a Halle-freakin-leujah brother to that!
