status quo
[Read the article: McCain: Clinton would "surrender" in Iraq]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If we are asking question whether whites will vote Obama, we should also ask the question if men will vote for Hilary. Because honestly I don't see that happening.

I don't want to hear either of them anymore
[Read the article: "Maybe he'd prefer to give speeches"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't want to hear anymore speeches or debates from either candidate. I would rather have a national televised town hall meeting. It would be more benefical for the people and the candidate.

Say hello to President McCain
[Read the article: It ain't over yet]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think it is becoming more and more apparent that John McCain will be our new President. There will be too much water under the bridge. Clinton supporters bashing Obama supporters won't help her win in November. People are emotionally invested in their candidate and if that person doesn't win the nomination, it becomes a question whether to vote against the person who denied your candidate the nomination or just not voting at all.

you can't please everybody
[Read the article: Moving beyond Obama and race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In the end, all of the superficial criticism means we are not ready to have a conversation about race. People will criticize and find fault in how you perceive things, which based on your experiences. Attempting to make it right or wrong, instead of what is......all shades of gray. Could it be that white people's strong reaction to the words a typical white person is because they don't see Obama as a white person but as a black person, when indeed he is both. Is it more acceptable for the a white person to say about themselves a typical white person? Whereas if are a biracial person said it then it is not acceptable. Then does that fall back into the one drop rule concerning race and the rules therefore change. One can knit-pick about the surface of things but it is not until you peel back the layers do you truly start understanding the meaning, the intentions, and heart of the matter. Finally you can say I may not agree with you but I understand where you are coming from.
