  Hillary

  I Walter Shapiro 100% about Hillary. It is a pleasure to find someone with the courage to write something positive about Hillary. She has become the whipping girl of the media. It is interesting to see how that rightwing crackpot Drudge puts something on his website that trashes Hillary such as her speech in Selma and immediately it is picked up by the mainstream media.

  The fact is that Hillary has been an achiever at school, as a lawyer and Senator-but you would never know it from the mainstream media-which is misogynistic and cannot accept the idea of a woman president.

  The media euphoria over Obama`s candidacy enrages me. Not only does not does he have a paper thin resume but he became Senator only by default when his opponent dropped and he was replaced by that rightwing crackpot Alan Keyes.And a white Senator with the same resume would never be a contender for the presidency.

  In my opinion if Obama were nominated the Democrats would lose all 50 states. I believe Americans would elect a black as president someone like Colin Powell where his race is an afterthought. But with Obama it is the centerpiece of his candidacy and I cannot see Americans voting for someone with a Muslim sounding name, who attends an Afro-centric church with a controversial minister. There is still too much that is unknown about Obama for the Democratic party to take a chance and nominate him just because the limousine liberals adore him. The Democrats have a very good chance to win 2008 and they should not blow it.
