Bitter as hell in Pennsylvania

Folks agree with Barack Obama in at least one Pennsylvania trailer park. But will angry voters help or hurt Democrats in swing states this fall?

    Well Written or Not, It's still devoid of substance

    Salon has had ONE mention of the torture scandal and at least FIVE about the word bitter.

    I've noticed that Salon has fewer and fewer feature articles, relying mostly on blogs and columnists. It is tiresome when most of these feature are devoted to primary controverseys driven by feelings and sensationalism.

    If you must obsess over the primary conflict, how about more focus on policies, voting records, staff afilliation. Or how about a closer look at media manipulation (at least as long as Glenn Greenwald is on leave)?

    Or at the very least, how about just putting an article or blog about something else at the top of the page?
