you really think Hillary is sincere?

are are you not thinking at all?

me thinks that it is you that has already wasted her vote.

I'm assuming you also support the Iraq war, the gas tax "holiday" and the many other political conveniences that Hillary supports. Maybe John McCain will pick her for his running mate and that will solve it for you.

I would never again vote for a racist conniving Clinton. Sick of it!

... just like Clinton's campaign ... I posted a bit awhile back, but got sick of the fairly constant hopeless blither by the like of Joan Walsh, and now this ... it just gets worse and worse. Yep, give the gas guzzling pigs a holiday ... remniscent of the $600 stimulus check in my bank account .... just bs political shenanigans that mean nothing to the typical American, other than to keep us enslaved to the almgighty dollar and the politics of greed. Move over GW - here comes Hillary and she don't like E-COmmunists any more than you.

and Significant! Way to take a stand Bill R! I think he'd actually be one of the better VP candidates for Obama.

Obama 08 all the way!

PLEASE! They practically had to drag her off stage so that they could get to the commercial break.

coming off as a bit strident ...

don't think this is going to help Hillary.

Yes, might be nice ... Salon?

all well & good, but there was a GOLF announcer who was fired or suspended over a similar comment related to Tiger Woods (lynching) ...

I just think that this is really dispicable, dangerous language & I think we should all be outraged by this.

I personally try to avoid FOX at all costs & remember reading an earlier thread where someone said Obama could really hit Fox by just ignoring them ... that would be beautiful.

thanks for the double laugh!

MaureenO'Donnell - you are delusional for sure. Have you been following the campaign at all? Obama is the one who actually wants to begin meeting with foreign leaders without stupid preconditions. Your illogicism is astounding. Hitting the whiskey a bit hard lately?

I am with you on this ...

An outpouring of support for Chelsea, but NOTHING with respect to O'Reilly's lynch comment about Michelle Obama.

Yeah, the mainstream media is SO biased against the Clintons.

forgot to cite that this is actually the title of landmark book on conflict/alternative dispute resolution ...

what this article is suggesting is clearly utilization of a conflict resolution approach which moves people off specific positions (which get you nowhere in an entrenched conflict), and back to talking about the issue, actually looking at research, and talking about interests rather than positions. A lot of research has shown that this works quite well.

I have to say that I'm an Obama supporter and I cringed when I heard about his statement on school vouchers (which I tend to vehemently oppose). However, I do think this open-minded approach is where our country needs to go. Staking out positions is what has been the norm in our country for many, many years - you can see it on the arguments within most pages of Salon. It's hard for people entrenched in that system, me included, to believe that "bringing people together" can change the dynamic and result in real, creative solutions. But it does - tons of research out there to document that. It would be beyond amazing to have a President that actually understood that - and I think that Obama does.

last sentence ... I was going to tell you that I come from a pretty blue color family .... a lot of pretty hard core repubs, some going for Obama .... but decided go go with the "you just can't predict" theme :) Tired.

You know - I think there are extremists on both sides of the support line - it's been amazing & a bit scary to watch that in here. But then, I think emotions are strong after 7 years of GW ... hopefully we can get past it all after one of them is nominated. I do think that the dems are truly their own worst enemies at times, but that's kind of the nature of the beast as I think that the dems, IN GENERAL, tend to attract folks with less of a herd mentality (HUGE genealization, but ...).

And, in terms of the "electability" factor. You know - I just don't think it's predictable honestly. I don't really like to play that game because it's just going to twist you up in knots & there is no telling. And playing that game also lets other people influence my decision rather than me going with the candidate that I think is best. Don't get me wrong - I have never voted for Nadar. But out of two candidates, both who face, shall we say, challenges from an electorate that put GW into office twice, I don't their either is a shoe in. So, I just generally don't go there.

Anyway - have to run now. Happy reading! I hope your google searches come up empty :)

Peace.

I think they both come with negativesIcome from a pretty blue collar family

Have you read his books?

I have read Dreams from my Father, but not Audacity. I was very impressed by Dreams ... I don't think there's any chance that this wasn't his writing - in my view it was a really personal story of someone who has grown up as an "outsider" in the US. I love that he just put it out there & didn't sugarcoat things. Race issues have long been a side interest of mine & I've found some of the Southern US literature to be fascinating in that respect. Anyway .. just curious ...
