    There is a very big assumption in this article, along with a slant, and that is that Obama will be the nominee. Clinton is dismissed by one political scientist as not having "really a good presidential temperament." References are made to three retired military commanders who support Obama, and Clinton's military support is limited to "the retired general supporting Clinton."

    Well, sir, she has considerably more support than that from men who know a tad bit about the military and "presidential temperaments." Consider the following:

  • General Clark -- get thee under the bus!

    By the time we get to November, the highway is going to be littered by those Candidate Obama has thrown under the bus. It is unfortunate that we have developed a party that is craven and spineless.

  • Fair and Square -- Phooey!

    There was nothing, repeat: NOTHING, fair and square about the shameful cheating at every level -- local, state and national that took place this primary season in the Democratic Party. I attended the Texas precinct caucus, the county convention (rigged), presented unchallenged evidence of violations of the state party rules before the state credentials committee (Obama reps outnumbered Clinton reps -- again rigged), and watched that debacle of the RBC of the DNC. A national shame when one awards delegates not based on the actual vote of the PEOPLE but upon exit polls. When did we take "demo" out of Democracy?

    So Mr. Obama is getting back some cynical manipulation just like that which he dished out against both Clintons. Karma is tough duty.
