What's next, good natured hate? No wonder Salon is not considered a serious journalism site. Admit it Salon, a lot of your readers don't like Hillary Clinton. A lot of liberals don't like Hillary Clinton.
Five weeks and counting. Not one story about the amazingly effective democrat congress.

P.S. I am not a republican.
Chicago loves big parties -- the bloggers & the (corporate) rockers at lollapalooza put a little bit of toddle in the action.
I'm an astrologer in the 48th Ward ... with a hard core jones for politics ... considering doing a regular online blog with astro insights on the campaign.
Here's a little navigation to get you through eclipse season -- the next new moon (Aug 12) at 19 leo is right on Obama's Midheaven -- that's the career point in a horoscope -- watch him & his camp carefully for new starts -- maybe a new issue -- the Great Lakes infrastructure issue is looming large -- local Chicago investment is the BP dumping crap in Lake Michigan -- my alderman has declared a boycott of BP -- that's an issue with very long legs and should involve the energies of the Great Lake States -- 8 of them -- 6 are blue
The first eclipse full moon August 28 -- 4 vi/pisces -- now if Hillary is born 8 AM chicago -- this eclipse is right on her nadir and she won't take her natal ward -- the 48th -- i don't think she knows the alderman's name ...
The second eclipse is a solar -- and it is ugly it is on 9/11 2007, right across the zodiac from planet uranus which suggests a very explosive set of possibilities
Hold your fire and choices until you've assessed how these would be helmsmen of our nation navigate through the eclipse season.
If you think that people at dailykos haven't been taking sides in the primary, then you haven't been reading dailykos. We call it the "Primary Wars," and it can get ugly. Personally, I stay out of it because I find it to be largely unproductive. I'm glad it was toned down at the convention so that we had the chance to really listen to what the candidates had to say.
For stating what the YearlyKoslings know themselves to be the absolute truth about the Democratic Party?
At first I was surprised. But then on second though, for a group of people who (Am I generalizing too much?) have embraced Arianna Huffington as there own... Hm, not too surprising after all.
The 60's are dead, people. Stay away from the brown acid.
In their zeal to be rid of all things Bush, the liberals continue to support Bush's most important anc critical pillar of establishment support: The Democratic Party.
One supposes that even after the bankruptcy of the Democratic party has been exposed by the passage of every Bush initiative since the mid term elections with significant Democratic party support, the liberal blogosphere will be shocked, shocked to discover that no significant changes occur with a Democratic party presidential administration, either.
Or will they? Perhaps even this gives the liberal establishment too much credit. Perhaps, in fact, they will then be more than satisfied and complacent with Democratic party neo-liberal economic policy and war mongering versus Republican party neo-liberal economic policy and war mongering.
Another prominent blogger, Matt Stoller, who recently co-founded OpenLeft.com, described what was happening to progressive blogs as a temporary loss of liberal momentum. "People feel confused," he said. "Because that's what happens to a movement that hopes if you get Democrats elected it will solve some of our problems, and then our problems aren't solved." He predicted that the blogs will again find their voice on intraparty matters once it becomes clear that the current crop of presidential candidates do not sufficiently represent the liberal cause on everything from telecommunications laws to military withdrawal from Iraq.
The questions, instead, had all the noncombative flair of an upstate New Hampshire town hall meeting. What would she do about education reform? What did she think about welfare reform and gays in the military? How would her attorney general be different from Gonzales? "I think it would be a breath of fresh air to have an attorney general who actually believed in the rule of law," Clinton said, earning immediate cheers.
between the democrats and republicans.
Am I the only one that was disturbed when a couple of days ago the democrats miss-counted the votes on an immigration bill to wrongly give themselves a win, then refused to change the tally when pointed out it was wrong? Then Pelosi just says "We are moving on". How do you move on after destroying the foundation of your power? That is like the captain of the Titanic saying "So we hit an iceburg, get over it, we are moving on." If democrats can miss-count a vote and then just 'move on', their grab for power is no different from the republicans, and they ara just as much to be feared.
You people try to spin the fact that even the Democrats' own stooges boo Hillary into somehow being a positive thing.
Then you completely misrepresent what Obama says about Pakistan.
As far as Anahadwolves goes...
"I'd posit that many are misogynistic and wouldn't even vote for their mothers. Others are nicer, but, are still afraid to break with "tradition" and vote for a woman."
If my mother was the number two recipient of insurance company dollars (behind Bush) and had voted for the war in Iraq, I sure as hell wouldn't vote for her, but that doesn't make me a mysoginist.
I wonder if you're so enamored with the idea of having a woman president that you overlook all of her obvious flaws.
There are some prairie dogs messing up a field next to my house. A couple of blow-ups of that picture ought to have them scurrying all the way across the county line. Or they might just think she's their God and start leaving twigs near the photos.
I am a Hillary supporter. I'm a little confounded by criticisms that she is manipulative--here's a SURPRISE, that's a job requirement for politicians. Guarded? Well, of course, she's a woman running for president, she's got to walk a thin line, people. If she wasn't guarded, she'd be an idiot.
Yeah, she may not be everything to everybody, but she's the best we've got, and she's a lot better than anything the GOP has to offer. If she wins the primaries, and Democrats still find a reason to not vote for her in '08, there's no helping us as a nation.

Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
