Well...
[Read the article: It's OK to vote for Obama because he's black]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]we are soooooo glad that it's okay to vote for Obama because he's black! I mean, dang! we thought there for about 6 months or so that we weren't supposed to talk about it. He certinly doesn't talk about it. But then again, we understand why and wink! wink! understand that if and when he's elected to the White House, then he can talk mmore freely about the race thang.
Atleast you are honest. More honest, than, say, the media who have all but blew out a hemmoroid to destroy Clinton's campaign and attribute every female stereotype that exists onto her while conveniently ignoring Obama's blackness. I mean, if they referred to the Obama campaign as "pimping out" Oprah, you would've heard the wails and knashing of teeth from coast-to-coast - for months!
Well, I'm voting for HRC because she's intelligent, capable, experienced, won't need anyone to show her where the War Room is in the White House, and because she is a woman. Does that degrade her candidacy or my choice? Not anymore than it does yours.
I look at November and see two guys - again. That's hardly the kind of earth-shattering history I was looking for this year. And since Obama's racial make-up doesn't make any difference according to him and so many others, then tell me again why anyone should be voting for him except to vote AGAINST Hillary Clinton?

OH ENOUGH FREAKIN ALREADY!
[Read the article: No Hail Mary for Hillary]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]HRC is damned if she does - and damned if she doesn't. What nut case would make a comment that when someone is right, they sound wrong unless it's to make sure THEY ARE PERCEIVED AS BEING WRONG? The media is just too obvious.
The media has bitched all the way, every step of the way, in this campaign about HRC: She was this, she needs to do that, and when she does that, then that was wrong too. Who would've thought that in addition to running against other opponents, HRC would have to run AGAINST THE CABLE MEDIA PIMPS TOO WHO SEEM HELL-BENT ON ANNOINTING WHO WILL REPRESENT EACH PARTY?
We always knew that getting a woman elected in this sexist, double-standard, backwards, ever increasingly uneducated and illiterate country would be difficult. I mean, where else but in double-standard America can elected men who proposition each other in public restrooms still keep their offices - and male CEO's can rip off consumers to the tune of billions while cashing checks for multi-million dollar bonuses?
The last time I checked, a choice between yet two more men this November (and I don't care if they are both polka dotted) IS NOT MAKING HISTORY OR AN EARTH-SHATTERING CHANGE FOR THIS COUNTRY. Electing a capable, strong, woman who has taken the trouble to prepare herself for the job, who was also First Lady, who has devoted her life to public service is earth-shattering.
There will be repercussions if Obama is given the free ride t the nomination. You damn well better believe there will be negative consequences. Obama needs to be looking over his Fantasy Island shoulder. For what "the media buildeth up, the media destroyeth too" -and he's next!
The last time I checked, about half of the voters preferred BO and about half preferred HRC. If he had this thing wrapped up then there wouldn't be more debates, more primaries, and most importantly, more delegates to secure.
SO EXCUSE US, POLITICAL PUNDIT CABLE PIMPS AND NASTY ZEALOT OBAMA-ITES, IF THE HRC CAMPAIGN JUST WON'T GO AWAY LIKE A GOOD LITTLE GIRL SO YOU CAN HAVE A BALLOON DROP.

Now That You Mention It...
[Read the article: May the best logo win]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"...no thought required." Isn't that what the Obama-rama Carnival Side Show campaign is really all about? "Change we can believe in and not bother to think about but it damn well feels good?"
I saw an Obama yard sign yesterday and at first glance thought it was an ad for an airline - or one of those home remodelers who puts up siding and new roofs. Maybe it's a little too corporate?
While your article started out with some interesting ideas, it quickly deteriorated into yet another Obama media love-fest and another cheap shot at Clinton. And for the record: Voters respond differently to deodorant branding and political cues.
Obama becomes the nominee because the media and people like you want it that way - and make it that way - not some cutesy piece of clip art.

BARACK OBAMA HAS A CURE ...
[Read the article: Female trouble]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]FOR THAT TOO! ACTUALLY, HE JUST PUT OUT A 7 POINT POSITION PAPER THAT HE COPIED OUT OF CARRIE BRADSHAW'S TV BOOK. THEY ARE MAKING IT INTO A MOVIE-OF-THE-WEEK AND OPRAH IS PRODUCING IT. IT WILL BE AIRED ON LIFETIME WITH THE OTHER GIRLY STUFF THAT REAL WOMEN TODAY JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF. AND OH YEAH, HE'LL BE SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS FOR THE POSITION PAPER AT BARNEYS IN NEW YORK RIGHT AFTER THE INAUGURATION OF JOHN MCCAIN.

I GOT YOUR DUST-UP RIGHT HERE, DUDE
[Read the article: Obama: "We're on the same team"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Obama-rama Carnival Show, coming to a town near you, is in full spin gear as it starts to get a whiff of how things might turn out if she who dares to defy him and the media won't lay down and die already!
Well, suck it up, Mr. Resume-Lite. It's going to be rocky in the Rockies. We have not come this far, baby, to hand it over to you without a fight.

AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH OBAMA
[Read the article: Denouncing, rejecting at the Democratic debate ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The guy just wants everyone to get along so badly and get to the next thing that he runs the risk of givng short shrift to legitimate grievances about him and his positions.
I can hear him now retracking, misspeaking, correcting for the record, restating, and then backing away to clarify - kind of like what he did in answering that Cuba communicate question where he did an obvious flip-flop from an earlier position on talking with the enemies.

OH GAG ME WITH A SPOON
[Read the article: John Lewis endorses Obama ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hey, just say you want to support the black guy. I mean, it's really okay, John. I'm supporting HRC because she's a female.
Let's stop with the Obama Magical Mystery Tour already.
