  • It's not about the boys ganging up on the girl.

    [Read the article: "Boys against girl," Part II]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I am a 58 year old woman and I am angry. I am very angry about the debate - but not about "the boys against a girl." I am furious that tim Russert decided he must be a particpant rather than moderator. I am angry that NBC decided to insert themselves into the debate process "to mix it up." As MSNBC's Chris Matthews said repeatedly that he wanted them "to go after Clinton."

    And they did. I am furious that Obama, Edwards and the rest decided to use negative language (lie, dishonest, etc)to point up disagreements. Above all, I want a Democratic president in 2008 and I am angry that they used Republican tactics that have so harmed this country. Yeah Bush won with these tactics and look what it cost the country. I am furious that they did not choose to elevate discourse to the level that would inform the citizen.

    I was a supporter of Edwards and really thought Obama was exciting. Well, they convinced me to sign on to Senator Clinton's campaign. I never thought I would see a top tier Democrat stoop to employ the Gingrich,Boehner,Rove tactics.

    I am ANGRY.
