It was a flawed analogy
[Read the article: Going down with the Titanic?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Titanic should have represented the United States. And the choice should have been between which lifeboat you want to get into -- McCain's or Obama's. Calling McCain the Titanic shows Matthews' bias. He's been an Obama supporter since the day he confessed Obama "sent a thrill up his leg."

As a Hillary hater, in retrospect...
[Read the article: Going down with the Titanic?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As a Hillary hater, I'm certainly glad she's left the national stage. But as an independent, I have an interesting observation on the choice the Democratic Party has made. I find it extraordinarily ironic the party that all but invented political correctness may wind up, in the end, the victim of political correctness. Because even though Hillary had won the popular vote and was shown in the polls to have a solid edge over McCain in key swing states, the Democratic Party (namely the superdelegates) could not bring themselves to elect the candidate with the best chance to win back the White House. They simply could not take the nomination away from a black man... because it wouldn't have been politically correct. I guess we'll see in November whether or not political correctness bites the very people who invented it squarely in the ass.
BTW -- If I were a Republican, the irresistible label for Obama would be "Selected, not elected."

@bernbart -- I'm not defending Hillary
[Read the article: Going down with the Titanic?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As I said, I hate her. But the reasons for my obsrvation are valid. Okay, yes, it depends on how you choose to count the popular vote. But she WAS the candidate most likely to beat McCain. My observations are about the effect of the undercurrent (poitical correctness), and not the obvious.
-
@bernbart - I, too, respectfully disagree.
[Read the article: Going down with the Titanic?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]National polls are meaningless. As Obama supporters are by now well aware, delegates matter, not national polls. The national election will be won state by state (as always), and Hillary was in a much better position to beat McCain in swing states than Obama. For example, in Michigan, Virginia and Florida, McCain now leads Obama. And in Florida he leads Obama by 8 points! Hillary had McCain beat there. Again, I truly despise Hillary and I'm certainly not defending her. My observation -- as an independent -- was simply based on the political correctness of the superdelegates deciding not to take the nomination away from a black man, despite the fact that he was the weaker and less vetted candidate. And the crux of my obsevation was the fact that the party who all but created political correctness may have that come back to bite them in the derriere. Time will tell.

@ doloresflower - Again, it was an observation, a possiblity, not an assertion.
[Read the article: Going down with the Titanic?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Time will tell. All that aside, my instinct as an independent, based on history, tells me that many neophyte gaffes lie ahead for Obama. And that his "colorful" associations (including his perceived-as-angry wife) carry the potential to do him in as well. Remember, Dukakis was 20 points up coming out of the convention. Pundits were calling him "Mr. President" in advance of the election. There is a long and winding road ahead.

@ doloresflower -- Smears rub both ways
[Read the article: Going down with the Titanic?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Which is why I'm an independent. I see the Dems take McCain out of context and say he wants a hundred year war with Iraq. Ridiculous. I see Repubs saying Obama believes what Reverend Wright believes. Also ridiculous. Both are good men. The democratic primaries were about which personality you wanted to vote for. Not about issues. Now that we have our final candidates, it should be about issues. I hope both both parties stay issue-oriented and away from smears. Because both have been smearing each other to date.
