I wonder how many poor third-world Indian children she had to kill to get it that tight.

Rock it, gurl.

You're not a lawyer either. Now take your hysterical and emotional anti-affirmative action rant to your "imaginary black friends".

Geraldine Ferraro or Harriet Miers, take your pick.

"mean old man beating up a girl with glasses who's also the mother of a down syndrome baby" vibe that can be so off-putting.

Joe better eat her alive in the debates. If she's not ready, its her own fault for accepting this role. Funny how people don't mind giving white women preferential treatment.

Ok. Are the PUMAs democrats or are they Republican operative posing as democrats?

Throughout this process, the following trolls were posing as long-time traditional female Democrats:

Jebldmm

lolcait

Now we know they are really Republican/McCain contest participants trolling liberal websites planting and stoking seeds of dissent among actual Democrats. Ill.

I really agree with you both, but I hope Barack and Joe do not underestimate this woman. She gives a good interview (I saw her on CSPAN a couple of months ago) and she comes across as a not so batshit crazy Repug.

I think they should frame her as an Ann Coulter extremist. Maverick/Reformer, my ass. This woman will build three Gitmos for every abortion performing OB/GYN in America. She seems to have a penchant for abusing her authority. Is she another Dick Cheney or Katherine Harris????

There is "Executive" experience and then there is Executive experience. Dems should attack her for her far right-wing credentials, her lack of intellectual heft, and her own ethics issues. Sure she shores up the Conservative base, but she is not change. She's a female governor who supports George Bush and his policies.

The media should really lay off this gender-race horse race stuff. This election is about bigger issues.

P.S. She sounds really young and that's not meant as a compliment.

McCain just torpedoed his most effective argument against Barack Obama. The campaign is not falling into some "inexperience" trap. They will treat her like the dangerous, right-wing, backwoods extremist she is. It doesn't hurt that she is in Big Oil's back pocket either. It doesn't hurt, my friends, that she has been the Governor of Alaska for less than 2 years, full-time less than a year, and the beneficiary of high oil prices. Ads should be made about her INFLATED maverick credentials and Obama should be talking about McCain's OBVIOUS LACK OF JUDGMENT AND TEMPERMENT every single day!

Do not underestimate the Republican Party's willingness to destroy this country just to stay in power.

I guess they believe American women are like trained poodles. Insulting.

There's Executive experience and there's Executive experience. When Americans find out what the Governor of Alaska really does and how this Governor has taken credit for things that are not of her making, it will be embarrassing.

A year and a half ago, she was the Mayor of Wasilla. Before then, a sports reporter.

Wow.

She shouldn't be underestimated, but come on.

"Hyper" American is Mark's (and others) way of saying the Blacks (meaning Obama and us Blacks) are not REAL Americans.

I wish White Americans would just be up front about it.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, folks. There is more to come and I believe the American electorate won't care.

His views are mainstream and hers are not. Her record is inflated. His record is not inflated. He has been vetted by the American people, the media, and his opponents.

She has not..........yet.

That's leadership and compassion, folks. The RNC has NOW decided to "vet" Sarah Palin. Would a President McCain push us into another war after reading false intelligence????

You bet your sweetass he would. Scary.

I'm growing a little tired of Democrats falling for the "psyche job" every four years. This board is infected with Republican Trolls with the specific task of depressing democrats with their phony "Hillary was a better candidate" garbage.

Let me address three of the items mentioned in both the letters and comments.

HILLARY WOULD HAVE LOST THIS RACE BEFORE IT BEGAN

The reason Hillary lost the primary and support among superdelegates was because of her lack of leadership, her underestimating her rival, the lack of financial discipline within the campaign, and her expectation that by Super Tuesday, she was going to be coronated the Democratic nominee. Barack's support was more passionate, as proven by his record fundraising numbers, attendance at his events, and those folks showing up at the caucuses and polls. He also pulled a wide demographic range of support. So there. The same folks in these small towns who won't vote for Barack think Hillary murdered Vince Foster. Much of her 18 million votes were cast by Republicans wanting to create mischief in the Democratic primary. No you say...why aren't THEY paying down her debt. Now, no more talk of Hillary.
