Original article: I was wrong about Wright

@Michelle

Yep, their naiveté is showing.

Their “But Hillary is worse...Hillary is evil…” defense is ludicrous. Pretty speeches aren’t going to fix this mess; it’s made for TV.

DNC called me; I told them to run a candidate that could win, then we'll talk money.

Dear Obama Supporters

You keep missing the point:

You don't win elections talking to each other and complaining at and about people who don't agree with you.

Half of America is horrified at Wright. (If you don't think so, you need to leave your computer.)

How does the candidate fix this???

Caroline Kennedy?

What does she know about government? This "Keys to Camelot" thing she has going on is so disturbing....

@ madamfauntleroy

It's Colombia not Columbia.

I don't agree with your post, AT ALL, but at a minimum, you should use the correct spelling for the country.

Very gracious

I was one of the many who received her very gracious email. I thought it was heartfelt and appropriate. Those who want to attach all kinds of nefarious intentions to her, should put away the tin foil hats.

It is also ludicrous to think that many of her supporters will automatically vote for Obama. She attracted a lot of "Reagan" Democrats during the primary. These people will have no problem giving McCain a second look. They don't care about the burning liberal issues; they care more about the price of food, gas and housing. Obama needs to figure out how to talk to them. They don’t want CHANGE; they want STABILITY.

Get over it

Everytime I read the Hillary is so ------- stuff, I check to make sure that the authors know that Obama won. You'd think he lost the primary race the way they carry on.

@gtiller

Exactly - do they want to win the battle and lose the war?

Creepy

Just plain creepy.

Original article: Clinton endorses Obama

Fantastic

Senator Clinton was fantastic! She deserves her day in the sun.

Anyone who complains about the focus of her speech, or the fact that she discussed her accomplishments, is just unreasonable.

I marvel at her strength. How did she give that speech without breaking down?

Not Gore

I personally have great respect for Al Gore. However, Gore, like Clinton, would overshadow Obama.

All about the Electoral College

Popular vote means nothing. I too think that McCain could squeek by if he has an inspired VP choice and Michigan or Pennsylvania going for him.

Original article: Cindy McCain, cookie thief?

"Plagiarize" a recipe?

How exactly does one "plagiarize" a recipe? Recipes are not eligible for copyright for a reason. Very few recipes are “new” or “original. Look through cookbooks and magazines; most related recipes have equivalent ingredients and instructions in them.

My mom is a fabulous baker, but she never invented the recipes for the cookies she makes for family and friends - and they all ask Mom for "her" recipes all the time.

The MSM needs to get a real issue to report - looks like they are missing Hillary Clinton more and more every day.
