The Ruckus is over for now
[Read the article: The race vs. gender war]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It was the pundits and Hillary camaping that started this.
Today Obama once again took the high road and was the first to try to quell the controversy that flared between the Obama and Hillary campaign. He sad he did not want the campaign "to denigrate into such a tit-for-tat, back and forth that we loose sight of why all of us are doing this"...."we share the same goals,; we're all Democrats; we all believe in civil rights; we all believe in equal rights". Then an hour later, Clinton campaign then issued a similar statement.
Meanwhile the Clinton campaign is suing in NV in an attempt to keep caucuses off the Las Vegas strip. The Democrats had agreed months ago to allow caucuses along the strip because of the hours of the casino workers, so the workers could have an opportunity to participate in the vote. Now that the union that represents all these people has endorsed Obama, the Hilary campaign wants to change the rules. Typical HRC campaign strategy.

Yes she is
[Read the article: Having it both ways]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The best opinion I have seen on all this it by Ruben Navarrette Jr. in todays SF Chronicle 'Opinion" section entitled: 'The race is now abut race". Ruben is so right on. Go to the SF Chronicle site and read it.
The new media is so biased towards HIllary it is sickening.
I guess we can expect this since Hillar's strategist is a PR man from Burston Marstellar, and has good contacts with the press. A of the TV coverage was about her last night after the debates. Chris Matthews is something else. Is Mattews now on the Hillary pay roll? The CNN wrap up was a little better, but when they switched to NV to get a wrap on the Dem debate from their political reporter, she started talking about Bill Clinton's appearance in U.C Davis, and showed a video of his speech. HRC campaing Once again stealing Obama's "change" theme. Oh how pathetic. Bill was bragging bout the crowd and they wrapped aroundth block.
I wonder why the press is not covering all teh thousands attending Obams rallies. Obama drew thousands in every city in NV. To many for the auditoriums.

Obam showed leadership streength
[Read the article: Betting little in Las Vegas]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]("I need to have good people in place to make sure that systems run"). The characteristic of a good manager or leader is one who does not get bogged down in daily details, but delegates responsibility to a carefully chosen staff, makes the decisions based on their input and then takes responsbility for those decisions instead of blame others.
This is one of Obama's greatest strengths.

Ari Fleoschler says it all
[Read the article: The Democrats defeat the media]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]On CNN last night, Ari Fleishcher, former press secretary for George H. Bush said it all in his analysis of the 2008 presidential race. " If Hillary is the candidate its the republicans best hope to get back in the race.... as shehas a lto of negatives.
I think fleischer is right. If Democrats like Obama, but vote for Hillary our of fear of not winning the general election you are not only gutless but stupid. Obama is the best qualified to be president and has best chance to beat the Republicans.

Age?
[Read the article: The 2008 presidential mash-up]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]YOuth:
Bill Clinton 44 in 1992
Obama 46 in 2008.
Experience: Hillary 7 years elected experience
Obama: 11 years elected experience.
Obama can beat any of the republicans. He also has a very good dry" sense of humor. His humor may however be "over the heads" of some voters.

Not to mention the Nursing Homes
[Read the article: Staph infections: The right call]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yes and this was not big news when old people in nursing homes are die from it.
Concerend Women for America -CWO- (not too concerned about women) is a radical right Christian organization, who should be ignored. they take every medical study, extract sentences out of context and then use them use them to distort the issues and promote their anti gay anti women agenda.
CWO was started by Beveley LeHaye,wife of Tim LeHaye. Tim started the Moral Majority (minority) with Jerry Falwell, and writes the fictional "Left Behind" books. Before their "morality crusade Beverley and Tim were John Birchers ranting about the 'godless' communists. They they just created new enemies, when the issue of communism died.

Obam already reached out to Women in SF
[Read the article: Obama in the Women's Building!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The first time I saw Obama at an "Obama for Women" event in San Francisco last Auguust, Where thousands of people turned out. This confirmed my support for him. I noticed Joan did not mention that Obama is having a big fund raiser at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco this evening. You can bet it will also get no press in the SF Chronicle as the SF Chronicle is biased towards Hillary.
Obama speaks with great respect for both his mother, his grandparents and his upbringing. His mother assured he had a good education and exposed him to many avenues of learning. He has no regrets that he was raised by a single mother. IN fact he speaks of her strength as a single mother, and considers a good mother.
Obama has no hang up. He is a very confident,and positive person.
