This must be the who can lose by less primaries
[Read the article: Spare votes?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"When you attest that Obama cannot win because of the electoral map, you are wrong. I actually don't know where you get this from."
Current polling, which for many states is old, as in almost ancient in political terms, McCain is beating Obama by 7 electoral votes and Clinton by 8 electoral votes.
This is supposed to be the compelling argument for either candidate - "I can lose by less"?
There are five possibilities for the Democratic party:
Dems lose if:
~ Clinton supporters refuse to support Obama if nominated.
~ Obama supporters refuse to support Clinton if nominated.
~ RNC thru marketing magic is able to sell either candidate as a wishy-washy, atheist supporting, gay supporting, anti_Christmas, liberal extremist.
Dems maybe win if:
~ Obama and Clinton supporters fully support whichever candidate is nominated.
Dems Win if:
~ Republican voters do not come out in support of McCain.
I do not know where the Democratic arrogance comes from.

You can fool some of the people...
[Read the article: Cheney's bogus oil argument]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...all the time.
I was surprised Cheney didn't say once al-Qaida "captured" the Iraq oil reserves, the next thing they were going to do was come to America and capture Washington, or at the very least Walmart.

Anything goes!
[Read the article: Obama and the white working class]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As you probably know, he said the troubles of the working class allowed by both the Bush and Clinton administrations (fact-check: unfair cheap-shot equation of the two presidencies)
Bill Clinton was enormously popular when he left office, more popular than Reagan. And still Obama in his ignorance, self-agrandizement, and stupidity equates Bill Clinton, the greatest and most popular president since Kennedy with arguably the worst president in the history of the nation. Pathetic.
What is Obama going to do next to win the primary - throw his grandma under the bus? Wait he already did. He falsely called her out as a racist (read his book). No wonder Obama supporters call anyone and everyone a racist at every opportunity. If Obama can call his own grandma racist, then hell, anything goes!

Just like the GOP
[Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Just like the GOP believes there is not a racist issue in the country that is not just made up by liberals during their wine-tasting parties, Obama supporters believe the same about sexism.
That women have only recently "received" the right to vote, are still sold as sex slaves all over the world including the USA, that women shelters for battered women cannot handle the demand, that the USA has deplorable rape statistics, deplorable statistics of violence against women, that the glass ceiling in corporations exists, and on and on - to Obama supporters this is all meaningless data points. Sexism and misogyny is a fantasy that women have just made up out of whole cloth.

Conference on Faith?
[Read the article: Clinton, Obama, and the forum on faith]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I did not watch due to aversion to gluttonous pander fests. But since it was on faith, were all faiths represented or just protestants? After all Christians (protestants especially), regardless of the religious freedom and diversity of this country, seem to be the only ones elected president.
That ammendment about there being no religious test... yeah right.

Kristol screws-up
[Read the article: Kristol plays the Marx card]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]He is ruining the "Obama is a secret Muslim" fantasy. Now people have to adjust to him being a "secret communist plant", like in the cold war.
Maybe he'll resolve everything in his next op-ed, and tie cold war communists to islam and create a new lexicon: islamo-commie-facism.
Makes no sense, but thats what he does.

Probably...
[Read the article: In court, J.K. Rowling nearly cries over Harry Potter Lexicon]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...Rowling wants to steal all of his academic and orgnizational work and put it into her own book for sale. You can never have enough hundreds of millions in your bank account.

Educated brainwashed simpleton is still a brainwashed simpleton
[Read the article: The rubes and the elites]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama supporters bitter that not all have seen the light, cling pathologically and religiously to platitudes such as “Change and Hope”.
See just like Obama, I am being courageous, and confronting the truth on behalf of his educated, but brainwashed simpletons.

Thats the great thing...
[Read the article: Did the "bitter" flap affect the race?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...about polls. There's one for every point of view.
And if not, just wait a day or two and one will popup that favors your view.

Scraping ice every morning
[Read the article: McCain gets donuts; Obama gets likened to a terrorist]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Must have made him bitter enough to cling to Wrights church for 20 years.

Please...
[Read the article: Don't blame San Francisco for Obama's "Bittergate"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Joan, before writing another article, kneel at the alter of Obama for 20 minutes and chant in a sing-songy voice for twenty minutes: O-Bam-A, O-Bam-A, O-Bam-A, O-Bam-A, O-Bam-A...
In this way, you'll change your ways, lose reason and argument but gain hope, and avoid the passionately bitter protests against your articles by the clingy Obamites.

Look again
[Read the article: Poll trajectory points to trouble for Clinton campaign]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't know what everyone is in a tizzy about, this poll shows Obama just about as honest and as trustworthy as McCain is. Thats something to feel great about?
For me this poll certainly says alot of things about perceptions and polls and voters, but nothing about how honest any of these politicians are. And if you do agree with this poll on "honesty" then you must feel McCain is actually slightly more honest than Obama.
Politics and honesty. Dog-poop and steak are more closely aligned.

Obfuscation on a grand scale
[Read the article: Bitter as hell in Pennsylvania]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The issue is not being bitter. I am bitter about a number of things not the least which is the fact that this nation elected a complete embecile to two terms to the white house.
People when they lose their jobs and their way of life can become bitter. Duh. This is obvious and not the issue with Obamas statement.
He told upscale people, that low scale people when bitter:
- Turn to religion
- Turn to guns
- Become bigots (antipathy toward people different than them)
If Obama believes this is true, and apparently alot of progressives do believe it's true, then Obama should tell them this to their face, not behind their backs. That would be different and not the same old, same old. Instead he obfuscates and focuses on "bitter" while continuing to grovel for their votes. Typical politician crap.
