[Read the article: Hillary's team crosses the line]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I suppose I should read this article, as some measure of your trying to be even handed about the 2 candidates. I have come to read Salon less and less, only because Salon is so blatantly biased in favor of Hillary Clinton and so dismissive of Obama on the other hand.
Even in this article, while trying to tepidly rap Clinton bare knuckles, you do go overboard in touting her leadership abilities and how she fearlessly weathered the fierce and vast right wing conspiracy. No such bow to Obama, who not only gave a great speech on race, but has brought together a diverse coalition of people, regardless of race, gender and age. Ultimately, Obama has shown more grace under pressure that Hillary Clinton, who will be remembered as a shameless pol who stopped at nothing to destroy not only her worthy opponent but also her party. For that, she needed the help of her former tormentors like Limbaugh and Scaife. How low can one fall.
In the end, people should vote not because of race and gender, but the character of the individual. We know who has that in ample adundance.
I am surprised that Salon has not as yet endorsed Hillary Clinton. Maybe because the readers and posters at Salon see through Salon's duplicity. I quit reading Salon for a while, but returned, because the posters are more interesting and better informed than the editors and reporters who pass themselves off as fair and balanced journalists.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I suspect I will get flack for saying this to you, but it is disrespectful to supporters of other candidates and at the very least crosses over the boundary of letters/personal opinions into "shilling" for a specific cause and organization.
Someone died and made you the class monitor. You found religion. Uhmmmm. Tell you what. You stop "shilling" for Hillary and I will reciprocate.

This article is much more substantive than the lukewarm article by Joe Conason.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You are so right. The Clintons hate it that the party is quickly moving away from their shenanigans. They stacked the DLC with their surrogates but the DNC is not much in their camp. Hopefully, PA will decide whether Clinton stays or leaves. Once all this brouhaha is over, I pray that we have seen the last of the Clintons. Let's hope that Chelsea chooses to stay out of politics.

Hillary Clinton is as good as dead. This became the consensus over the past week, when the media awoke en masse to the dual reality that 1) Clinton can't close the pledged-delegate gap and 2) Obama has her beat in the popular vote. But the Clinton campaign shows no signs of slowing—she said herself she's prepared to compete for at least three more months. So the question now is not just "How dead is she?" but "When will she realize it?"

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Funny. I started off as a Hillary supporter, with many misgivings about her role in universal healthcare, gays in the military and her ruthless dismissal of Lani Guinier and Joycelene Elders. I thought that Obama was all talk and no substance.
But I switched midstream and became an Obama supporter, which was more an anti Hillary vote. She has run such a negative campaign and she has lied so much, that I cannot honestly consider her as a person of any principles. Now she and her husband value McCain more. She is so evil, that she rather see Obama lose if she cannot win.
My mouth was watering when you described your dinner menu.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I hope that these shows will reciprocate the same exposure to Barack Obama as they did with hillary in her run up to Texas and Ohio. Let's see how equal opportunity they are.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You say that you don't think that hillary lied about Bosnia. Then you go on to say that she dismissed Sinbad, folks from the media and then not until the video surfaced that hillary got caught.
Still, you don't think that hillary lied. Hmmmmmm.

[Read the article: Rum, Romanism and James Carville]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]George Bush took an oath of loyalty from all his surrogates, a gangerous subversion of dissent which no country or administration should tolerate. An oath of loyalty was the cornerstone of the third reich. To the best of my knowledge, I don't think that anyone in the Klinton administration, swore to that oath.
Have you ever stopped to wonder why so many from the former Klinton years are now supporting Obama? Because they know who the Klintons are and how easily they will throw anyone of their loyalists under the bus. That's who they are and that's what has informed Richardson's decision to go with Barack.
