"There's no doubt that racism makes Obama's job harder, but if we believe he can be president, we have to be tough-minded about the things he can do to minimize that problem."

You say that Obama has to work hard! He does and is very adaptable, and he doesn't lie nor exaggerate.

He attempts to deal with every problem with a logical, rational thought process.

You can say what you want but I detect no sexism at all against HRC, yet I strongly feel you look for it in every utterance from an Obama supporter. It just isn't there.

I slso don't detect any elitism on the part of Obama supporters. None at all! I think you are delusional.

Talk about gut-wrenching slime read the posts of Katetex, proudtexasgal and AKAsmith.

I am sure that Joan Walsh appreciates your resplendent, probing analysis; re Obama's liabilities and Clinton's assets. She is sure to hire you as a well-respected, journalist at Salon with top-billing. You can have a good paying job just by asking, I suppose.

I am so happay that there is at least one web-site that I can go to an get trite, pathetic, HRC propaganda. I think it is terrible that the main-street press is ignoring the fact that Elizabeth Edwards still hasn't declared. What the hell are they thinking? Her non-declaration is one of the most momentous moments in this campaign. It signifies oh so much, that I just can't describe the importance of this non-declaration in the scheme of things in attaining 2707 (or the latest Clintonian count) votes so that HRC can declare victory.

Oh, damn you Obamamaniacs, it is all your fault! You stupid realists!

The biggest problems that propagandists and liars have are caused by their poor, atrocious memories!

Just a thought! It seems to me the "club," lolcait, katetex, et al, follow the same talking/writing points.

However they don't seem to explicitly push the race issue except by innuendo.

I believe Obama is going to have great difficulty in overcoming the race issue. Many low-information voters will elect to accommodate their racial biases. Perhaps the spammers realize that people who can read and write can't be swayed by this tack?

There was a real good article that I read recently and can't attribute because I forgot who wrote it, but it put forth many reasons for HRC pursuing the VP slot.

She can no longer go after a leadership position in the Senate because of the vile campaign she has conducted. Her Senate colleagues, albeit politicians, were repulsed by it and believe she would destroy the party if she could benefit herself.

Also her strategy to continue her campaign in order to provide leverage for her demands which include an alleviation of campaign debt.

Plus, if Obama loses, she would be in a very strong position for 2012.

I just occasionally post on this thread. I come here because I notice an article when I am on my way to read Glenn Greenwald.

But I agree with the posting put forth by Hutman that Katetex, proudtexasgal, lolcait, akasmith, shaun, et al, all seem to be spouting the same story lines as though they are being fed them and then posted.

It seems very organized! Also, it is so consistent with the devious tactics employed by the Clintons.

"After reports that Michelle Obama, the senator's wife, has rejected the possibility of an Obama-Clinton ticket, Axelrod flatly said: "That's false." He said there have not been overtures made to the Clinton team to negotiate her departure from the campaign."

My greatest fear is that Clinton is trying for the VP slot. The wingnuts (Clinton supporters) on this thread all threaten to vote for McCain. So be it!

I shall vote for Nader if Clinton is on the ticket. And I think that she is such an insane, underhanded, egotist that she will try to attain that slot. And I also believe she is such a liar and hawk that she poses more of a danger to humanity than McCain.

May a supreme being give Obama strength to deal with this conniving, crazed, selfish politician.

I hope she doesn't get the VP slot and that the Clinton wingnuts do vote for McCain. They all deserve each other.

"The reality here is that Obama has made an art form of passive aggression. He's a born master of this particularly unpleasant human behavior, an attribute which does not make him wear well over the long term."

I thought I understood "passive aggression." And I do find that trait particularly repulsive. I would rather have an outright confrontation.

But I don't see Barack acting that way. I just don't! I didn't vote for Kerry because he wouldn't fight back against the swift-boaters. I thought Barack was taking the high-road and thus limiting his ability to respond to Hillary's false accusations and dirty politics.

I think there are real limitations to always taking the high-road with people who are not playing fair.

I would rather see him confront her, but it goes against his campaign strategy of being honest, and changing the ways of Washington. It's a real delemma!

"That bitch needs to be taken down, and I volunteer right now to do it. Smack Down Texas Style, and when she was on the ground I would make her eat shit until she cried out for America--who would ignore her since she shat upon them yesterday."

John Yoo is truly proud of you!

What in god's name are you proud of?
