@Hatchet
[Read the article: Breaking the Democratic deadlock]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]At first I was going to sit home if she won because she made me so mad. But that as I said would be just cutting my nose of to spite my face. Obama is better but HIllary is still better then McCain
How oblivious ARE you? Unfortunately the damage is done. Having insisted the oh-so-entitled half-black with no experience be our candidate at any cost has turned this from an election for the Dems to lose to one for John McCain to lose.
Obama is even more unelectable than he was six months ago - surely even YOU can see that much. And now Hillary who would have cleaned McCain's clock is entirely crippled from the ugly cannibalism you have endorsed.
It's John McCain's election to lose and he isn't going to lose it. What do you think he's been DOING all this time while you did all you could to take down Hillary for a guy who lost NJ, California and even Massachustsets by double digits. He's been raising money and unifying his party and staturing for the independents. So you don't need to be proud either. It would be foolish for you to be proud of being foolish. And it's exactly why you and your cobamateur's are so popular with repukes like AJ who likely has as much intention of voting Dem as Ann Coulter.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Proud, the govenors of Kansas and Missouri are women. Oh just a couple of weeks ago the super from Minnesota endorsed her too and she was a women. You have to do better then that.
True and very foolish of them. At the time they undoubtably bought ever-foolishly the sucking up the press was doing to Obama specifically to ensure he was the nominee (to lose to McCain) as genuine popularity and didn't bother to look into his closet.
Dollar to a donut the repugs win the Kansas governorship back by running the same sort of commericals being run in Missippi and other places against the Dems who endorsed Obama as being "out of touch" with their constituents. Ugly stuff, but then the GOP's ugly stuff has a history of being very effective.
I'm wagering you can say good-bye to Seblius and a lot of others on their next run. Oh, well. That's what you get when you endorse an inexperienced, unknown candidate. Always pays to do your homework.

Superdels that Obama and his nutbase intimidated
[Read the article: Super stuck!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Whatever their reasoning, I can tell you that I firmly intend to work for the campaigns running against the persons in my state that endorsed Obama against the clear will of their constituents. It's about the only thing I can look forward to now that the nut left has again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory either by foisting an electoral landslide loss on us with Obama or in having crippled Hillary if she pulls it off to the point where she can no longer beat McCain. After all, our kids and grandkids are going to be stuck with a lifelong rightwing Supreme Court, crumbling debt-ridden jobless country, high taxes servicing deficits created by the plutocratic tax code without any government services - and those are the better things I can forsee coming.
So what if the Obamateur's rioted and burned things down. I expect nothing less than them frankly given their ever growing unhinged behavior and there's no doubt in my mind at all that their Republican accomplices and aides will be there encouraging them to do so in a final act of permanent destruction of the Democratic party. So let them riot and burn things down. And then let Bush declare martial law on them.
It might be the only thing Bush could do at this point to restore some of his negative ratings and it would have to be a favor to civilized society.

Dean
[Read the article: Super stuck!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]On Dean, it just seems like he should have done something sooner. I have no idea what, but it really seems like he's failed the party
OH and who was it that INSISTED Dean be appointed to DNC chair instead of Joe Andrews? Instead of Harold Ford??
That's right. The same unhinged leftwingers that insist Obama must be our nominee.

Too late.
[Read the article: Super stuck!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The lesson to be learned from all this: Democrats desperately need to change their method of picking a nominee. Let's get rid of the caucuses and have several national primaries which include a number of states rather than allow Iowa to select out a viable candidate. It gave us Kerry and now Obama who is every bit as vulnerable, if not more so, than Kerry.
Too late, unfortunately. AFter the GOP has Congress back and McCain appoints 3 SCOTUS - there IS no Democratic party.
The Dems have won THREE elections in 40 years largely because the left pulls the same crap every time: insisting on a "pure" candiate that doesn't appeal to anyone else. They've wrecked the Democratic party. Putting Howard Dean and Obama and shoving them down the throats while declaring war on center-left (electable) Democrats and hailing Ned Lamont's has finished us off. Obama is an electoral shipwreck and Clinton has been damaged by his negative campaigning and the press's gleeful emphasis of to the point where she may well not be able to beat McCain anymore.
Remember, despite what the neo-lefties like to bray, parties don't get stronger by losing. They get weaker and then go into oblivion. This election was truly the end of the line. The GOP will gerrymander and legislate the party into extinction now even if it wasn't going to be in hopeless despair.
Hate to be so dismal, but that's how I see it.
