What I mean iIs
[Read the article: Quote of the day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]there is a large number of youth in Iran who have no first hand recollection of the theocratic revolution that took place in Iran. Seems like if the US took a more even handed approach, we could be a true example rather than a constant threat. I just don't think the young people in Iran are truly bent on the rhetoric that the powers in Iran are constantly spewing. We can become something to hope for rather than something to hate.

[Read the article: Huckabee jokes about gun being aimed at Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I mean, he could have used anyone's name in the joke and it still would have been a really bad joke.

Obama is class
[Read the article: Obamania, but no victory declaration imminent]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]He's been reaching out to Hilary supporters for weeks now. Since before the NC primary. Granted, some Obama supporters continue to stir the shit, so to speak, but they are not indicative of Obama faithful. Hopefully the sour grapes brigade led by Geraldine Ferraro will learn a little something, regain their perspective, and come around to the unified party. Hillary supporters could chill on the hate as well, but that's like asking a dog to meow.

Uh Oh
[Read the article: Obamania, but no victory declaration imminent]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's time for the "I like obama but he's not electable so I'm not voting for him" troops to hit the bricks.
Laurie, get off your FL and MI kick. If you can't recognize that counting a primary where only one candidate (thumbing her nose at the DNC) was on the ballot isn't a fair primary, then you shouldn't bother reading, caring, or thinking about the political process.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]nice prejudice! Especially from someone whose name sounds just middle eastern enough to make you a terrorist by your own skewed world perspective.

Elizabeth Edwards is top notch
[Read the article: Elizabeth Edwards: "I was never inclined to endorse"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She may have been a better candidate than John.

[Read the article: Obamania, but no victory declaration imminent]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I want FL and MI delegates to be seated. But to claim that hilary deserves for the delegate selection to be based on the outcomes of those oprimaries is disingenuous, and anyone who supports that is in essence saying that they're fine with their candidate benefitting from unfair practices. Hillary in the fall of 07 agreed with me. That's when she was the hands on favorite to win. it wasn't until she started losing that her tone changed.
If this doesn't mean anything to you, if you're willing to let that slide just because you want hillary to win, then I call into question your integrity. It's that simple.
Doesn't matter in the end though. Hillary can't win this. I hope you're ready to vote D no matter who wins.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"I am so glad that a man like you is lecturing women on what a feminist is... we definitely need a man to tell us how to think."
Because only a woman can be a feminist? You really want to head down that road?

yeah, kufir77

[Read more letters about this article: Here]what makes you think a bunch of pot smokers would wade through that crowd and stand in the sun that long? Have you even TRIED pot before?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Maybe stop watching so many sports movies? You can bring up every fourth quarter, come from behind victory ever won and nothing will change. A football game works differently than a political campaign. A basketball game works differently. Bringing up Joe Montana as a comparison to Hillary is just about the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Wolfson is very smart
[Read the article: Wolfson calls planned Obama declaration a "slap in the face"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Obama campaign changed their minds about announcing an insurmountable lead, but Wolfson has to stay on that horse as long as he can. It's definitely smart. It's softball, but you have to give the Clinton campaign credit for not missing an opportunity to speak out. Wolfson is earning his paycheck. There is no issue here.

WES, yep
[Read the article: Wolfson calls planned Obama declaration a "slap in the face"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And that's a pretty good strategy, too. Tomorrow will be the opposite of the May 6 primary. Obama will get a relatively close win, probably 6-8 points, Hillary will blow Obama away in Kentucky. The next day, another nine supers will go to Obama, he will have a lead that Hillary won't be able to top, and we'll move on to the rest of the states.
You seem to act like people doing what they can and should do is an unusual or bad thing.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I hope you enjoy your first day on the internet. What I want to know is, where the hell have you been, and how do you reconcile singling out Obama supporters?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Shouldn't you be using your psychic abilities for something other than posting in the salon comments section? I think you're denying yourself some real possibilities.
Does Big Brown have a chance at Belmont? Tell me now so I can place my bets!

primary results

[Read more letters about this article: Here]have no meaningful correlation with general elections. That is to say, only a simpleminded goof would try to use primary stats to foresee the results of a general election.

The one thiong WES doesn't consider is
[Read the article: Wolfson calls planned Obama declaration a "slap in the face"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]that McCain is a horrible, horrible candidate.

If there's one thing I love about Byrd
[Read the article: Byrd endorses Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]it's when he talks about his past. He hits the nail right on the head. He's apologized a thousand times, and he'll apologize a million times more. He's unique in that regard, considering we can't get Bush, McCain or any other republican to even ADMIT to a mistake let along attempt to make good on it.
Well, except Bush quit golfing.

too soon?
[Read the article: Elizabeth Edwards: "I was never inclined to endorse"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And yes, I've had a loved one die of cancer. I have another one on his deathbed as we speak. I choose not to go through life with a raincloud hanging over my head. Nonetheless I apologize for ruffling feathers. Apparently my mimicry of a Hillaryis44 subscriber was over the top.

[Read the article: Elizabeth Edwards: "I was never inclined to endorse"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Maybe recognize this is a comment section and not a soap box for your self righteousness. Just a thought. Or maybe I don't know ENOUGH victims of cancer to make a stupid joke.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]People are as entitled to be turned off by your comments as you are to make the comments. I don't think Hillary is a whore, but I recognize your right to have an opinion.
