I do want to know
[Read the article: Clinton writes to Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What the obama campaign says about this. It's a total fiasco and the people who are behind moving the primary up should be kicked out.

Understand, folks
[Read the article: Clinton: "I am in this race"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]that anyone who claims to be a Democrat and then says they will vote for McCain ISN'T A DEMOCRAT AT ALL. Bottom line.

get over it lilybean
[Read the article: What did Clinton do wrong?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The sour grapes and wound licking have gone on long enough. After all of the distraction over the past few months, particularly Jeremiah Wright, your assertion that the media handed the nomination to Obama is laughable. It's time to end the vitriol and get ready to unite. If Hillary wins the nomination, I'm in her corner. Let me see you make the pledge.

[Read the article: McCain and the Latino vote]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What are you talking about? Do you really think that because their state party broke the rules and got punished that somehow their votes won't count this november?

Green Job
[Read the article: McCain and the Latino vote]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your points seem a bit misleading. Back when the dates were moved up, the DNC urged the FL D party as well as Michigan to set up statewide caucuses after the 2/5 deadline and they failed to do so, insisting that there would be no penalty for having an earlier primary. They also thought that FL was too important for D's to skip on the campaign trail. Little did they know...
Do you honestly think the DNC would have taken away all the delegates had the change in primary date been merely a Republican tactic?

this is going to be fun!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Which black racists are you referring to, exactly? I want names.
And KateTex, you're bashing at strawmen. No one called people racist for voting Hillary. Their reasons might be rooted in racism, but the vote has never been the reason.
You voting D in November or what?

Interesting read
[Read the article: Was Hillary channeling George Wallace?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I might submit that there are two Clinton eras to consider. The pre-1994 era and the post-1994 era. The loss of the house and senate in 1994 changed the tone, and I'm not sure that the CLintons could ever manage to come back from it.

BE HONEST, JOAN
[Read the article: Can Democrats learn to talk about race?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The way you rode the Jeremiah Wright issue, no, most Democrats (read YOU) can not have a serious discussion about race. It's pretty freaking obvious at this point. And let me be frank in telling you that it's pretty freaking insulting that you would have the, uh, FORTITUDE to ask such a disingenuous question.

Who bases their vote on a particular endorsement anyway?
[Read the article: Whither John Edwards?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I didn't wait for Richardson to endorse Obama before I made the switch. I made up my own damn mind. So who cares if Edwards endorses or not?
That's not to say that I share the sentiment stated above about the war room. This is a blog. Of course you're going to get info from other sources. Of course you're going to talk about what folks are talking about. I just hope there aren't too many more Drudge references.

[Read the article: Whither John Edwards?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]are talking about a deluge of emails sent to undecided supers threatening to vote for McCain if they don't support Hillary. From a super:
"I spent my entire life in the two reddest states in the entire U.S. so please excuse me if I fail to discern the nuances of the arguments sent my way this evening in what appears to be an orchestrated campaign to intimidate the remaining unpledged delegates by threatening to leave the party and vote for a third Bush term if I and others like me don't vote for Sen. Clinton," wrote the exasperated superdelegate. "I have been uncommitted throughout this campaign because I wanted to see how the candidates performed in a variety of settings. I am proud of them both. But I am horrified by this effort to threaten votes for McCain if super delegates don't vote for Sen. Clinton. I have received hundreds of emails from both sides - but I can say without exception that I have not received a single email from an Obama supporter that threatened a vote for McCain if I didn't support Sen. Obama. You really ought to be ashamed."
Let's see something in the war room about this!

I'd still rather her about

[Read more letters about this article: Here]how Hilary supporters are sending emails to supers threatening to vote for McCain if the supers don't bow to their bidding. Can we get a post about that soon?

How can you ignore
[Read the article: Clinton makes another electability argument]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]the fact that Hillary supporters are emailing superdelegates enmasse, threatening to vote McCain in November if the supers don't come out and endorse Hillary? How is this not noteworthy?

Blackmailers, sore losers, brats, tantrum throwers.
Come on Hillary supporters. Are you voting D this fall or not? I vow to vote for Hillary if she pulls off a victory. Even when they were close I promised to vote for Hillary. Where are you?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]hey! Check out Daily Kos and Huffington Post. I guess Joan Walsh arranged to have Salon computer firewalls disallow those sites. Some claim that the initiative was set off by hillaryis44.org, some hatesite launched by a former Perot supporter.

Is there any question
[Read the article: Maryland delegate jumps to Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]how this will turn out? I'm left wondering how the Clinton campaign can't see or choose not to see what the climate is at this point.

[Read the article: Maryland delegate jumps to Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't know what you're talking about. When it happened last time, I was an Obama supporter and I recopgnized that delegates can switch if they choose. Rarely does it amount to anything.
So, uh, yeah, what were you saying?
