[Read the article: What I really wanted to say to Chris Matthews]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The former President of IL NOW who worked with Obama in IL came out in a video supporting of Obama and switched her alliegiance from Hillary to Obama because Hillary's camaping distorted Obama's pro-choice record in IL. The leaders of Planned Parenthood in IL have also come out with statements of support for Obama saying his legiltive record on pro-choie issues have been distorted.
When NARAL and PP know a parental consent law is going to be hard to defeat they put their efforts into making sure they have judicial bypass. This is what really happened in IL. It's called strategy.

Show me proof
[Read the article: What I really wanted to say to Chris Matthews]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Show me proof that "Hillary Clinton has spent a lifetime fighting for women's issues, Childcare, health care, equality, single parents." Show me her legislative record.
Obama has a legislative record in Il on : Eaual Pay for Women,Reproductive choice, Health Care, and domestic violence.
I find it hard to believe that Hillary has a life time of fighting these issues. She has only been an elected official for 7 years.

I am amazed
[Read the article: What I really wanted to say to Chris Matthews]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In reading the letters of those who supprt Hillary I am amazed how you have all been bamboozled by her bull. She DOES NOT have 35 years of experience and she HAS NEVER been specific on any issues. Yesterday I saw a clip of her speech to supporters yesterday. She promised "I'm going to have the troops out in 60 days". Does anyone remember the last debate where she said it irresponsible to make a commitment to a withdrawl date an time table? this is typical of her She double speak. She makes great promises with no substance and you all fall for it.
Women if you want to protect you interests and rights, better to voter for Obama. He has a much better chance of beating McCain.

Debates
[Read the article: Obama declines debate invite, so Clinton will go it alone]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama has agreed to 2 debates and that is certainly enough.
Clinton want more debates because she is low on money and debates give her free air time. Obama is using good political strategy. He knows the ball is in his court and he is controlling it. Besides what more can they debate?
Obama wants to get his messages to directly to the people instead of useless debates. Besides he gets his direct message to more supporters with his time, as he draws 10-20,000 at his Rallies For Change. At every rally he has a new endorsement and that person introduces him to the crowd. Hillary gets a few thousand supporters to her events at best.
However at the next debate I hope someone calls her on her promise made yesterday to her supporters. She promised her supporters she would to bring the troops home from Iraq in 60 days. Yet in the last debate she said Obama was being irresponsible for setting deadlines to bring the troops home.
I commend them for not debating on Fox. FOX is not a credible News network. It is nothing more than a misinformation network with less talented commentators, who appear to have just crawled out from under a rock

Factoid
[Read the article: Obama declines debate invite, so Clinton will go it alone]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yes Obama lost NY to Hillary. It is the state she represents. Obama won IL Obama. IL is the state he represents. However Obama on IL by a much larger percentage than Hillary won in NY. He cut into her base, but she did not cut into his. FL does not count.
I do think some long time Democrats will sit the election if Hillary is the nominee. It's also possible ALL the new voters that Obama brought will not be as "fired up" with Clinton and not vote. This won't happen if Obama is the nominee
