Another tidbit ignored by Salon. Move along...nothing to see here....

[Read more letters about this article: Here]From the Dallas Morning News:

Hillary Clinton and her campaign is pushing for precinct captains for Texas' 8,000 Democratic polling places. They need to train folks to lead the caucus sessions that will determine more than 60 delegates after the primary voting is over.
In training materials being handed out by the Clinton campaign, it is clear that they want to control those caucus sessions.
The materials say in part, "DO NOT allow the supporter of another candidate to serve in leadership roles."
It goes on to say, "If our supporters are outnumbered, ask the Temporary Chair if one of our supporters can serves as the Secretary, in the interest of fairness.
"The control of the sign-in sheets and the announcement of the delegates allotted to each candidate are the critical functions of the Chair and Secretary. This is why it is so important that Hillary supporters hold these positions."
Good strategy, Hillary. Really hope that works out for you? I'm sorry? what? You said something about "Rovian tactics?"

This is consistant with her slash-and-burn candidacy.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]And it reeks to hell of sour grapes. Nevermind. It comes as no surprise to me that Clinton cares more about herself then the good of the country.
"Won't vote for me? By God, we'll show them!"
Another reason I'm not voting for her in the primary.

We've been saying it all along.
[Read the article: Surge coauthor believes Clinton would wait on withdrawal]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Condiering her vote for the war, co-sponsorship of a flag burning amendment, and the way she's run her campaign, is there really any doubt now that Hillary is Bush-lite?
But...but...but....
What?

To quote 'Spinal Tap'...

Why even vote?
[Read the article: Quarter of Clinton supporters would vote McCain over Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't understand it.
Why not just stay home? That says enough, and considering the tone of this primary, it's even understandable.
But to say you're going to vote against the Democratic nominee because your candidate didn't win? That's just childish. Give me a break!
Stay home and cry on your big pillow.

They're that afraid of a black president?

All the right wing pundits have already said as much

Got it. Thanks.

Lynn, I liked your article, except....
[Read the article: Women and Clinton: Damned if they vote, damned if they don't?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"We are frustrated because it really would be pretty great to have a progressive woman president. Sue us."
Neither of the CLintons can be tagged "progressive." Sorry. there's nothing progressive about co-sponsoring a flag-burning bill, voting for the Iraq War, and taking an ignorant and hawkish stance on Iran. Hillary is a right-leaning Democrat, just like her husband was.
Not progressive.

How many times is Florida going to be given a pass for fucking up our electoral process?
[Read the article: Should Florida and Michigan vote again? ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Seriously. This state has caused some REAL problems for Democrats.
Michigan, you're on notice!
Alright, give them their fucking re-vote for breaking the rules. I can't believe they are being rewarded for this.

Florida doesn't deserve a re-vote.

How many times will Florida get a pass for screwing up our electoral process?
[Read the article: Michigan, Florida governors want delegates seated]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's really simple, guys. The rules and penalties for refusing to the follow those rules were in black and white before your state decided to violate them and move your primary date.
I don't see why there's even a debate about this. Why is this so complicated? It's not like any of this was sprung on you at the last second (though that's what you're trying to do now).
Go ahead and protest. Just remember: this is your state's mess, and when the DNC loses the general election because of all the money and good will spent on getting this fixed, it will be on your shoulders.
AGAIN.

It's like telling your kid not to do something or they don't get dessert.
[Read the article: Michigan, Florida governors want delegates seated]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Then they do it anyway and cry when those penalties are carried out.
Sorry. You knew ahead of time what was going to happen when you decided to move your primary dates.
Now you want your dessert for breaking the rules?
This is a mess, and it could very likely cost us the general election, no matter who our nominee is.
Thanks again, Florida. You've proven to America once again that you can't be trusted to hold an election on your own.

Hey, well we're rewarding people who violate rules, let's allow illegal immigrants and felons to vote!

I spent all my rent money on pez dispensers that my landlord won't recognize as legal tender!

Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Funny how quickly you've all turned on MoDo over her support for Obama.
"Hey, she published a misandrist book asking if Men are Neccessary! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! We love you, MoDo! Everyone who questions her is a sexist pig!"
"Hey! She's not supporting Hillary! Booooooooooo! Everyone who agrees with her is a sexist pig!"
Give me a break.

Clinton plays both the attack dog and the victim
[Read the article: Can the Clinton campaign take the heat?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And Americans nod their heads in righteous indignation or cry with her, depending on how she is framing herself that hour.
I had thought that all her tactics were as pathetic and transparent to everyone as they are with me, but after hearing an interview with a man in Ohio who said he won't vote for Obama because he is Muslim (with isn't true, as far as Hillary Clinton knows), I was reminded once again how incredibly stupid the typical American voter really is.

LOL@ Hillary fanning herself in righteous indignation over *gasp* a negative attack?!
[Read the article: Clinton camp uses "monster" comment for fundraising appeal]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The height of hypocracy.
But you know, at least she said Obama isn't a Muslim...as far as she knows.

Obama's response should have been
[Read the article: Clinton camp uses "monster" comment for fundraising appeal]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Hillary isn't a monster...as far as I know."
Then send out doctored images of her with fangs and pointy ears the same way her campaign made him darker and widened his nose. Oh, and wearing a turban.
No, Hillary would never engage in negative attacks. Noooooooooo.
She's an innocent little lamb. Anyone who says otherwise will make her cry.

Still waiting to hear from the Clinton camp on why this one doesn't count
