    There is something amusing...

    There is something amusing about seeing the head editor of a fairly large website getting so irritated that they have to actually get down and dirty amongst the savage jungle that is any internet comment forum. That said, your last statement there Joan, that anyone who uses a white surrogate to get out the Latino vote deserves to lose, is amusing enough considering the constant high-holy praise of Bill Clinton and black people as one and the same(and how he has consistently not done diddly jack to dispel any of the racism displayed in SC...you think people forget in a week?). And considering some of the dunces that have been appointed or elected from my own ethnic community (Alberto Gonzales and Mel Martinez I spit on you), I'd probably take a slightly more illuminated white guy over any of them.

    Either way, at the end of the day, the nomination fight continues on, in probably what will continue to be one of the oddest and most exhausting races that America has seen in years.
