  • Attention Salon. Stop cherry-picking your evidence.

    People waiting in line to hear Hillary Clinton say they're glad the race isn't over yet?

    Stop the presses! What an incredible revelation!

  • HP

    Do you really believe McCain takes CA from Obama in November?

    Are you that clueless? Or, like most Hillary supporters, do you not just think through an argument?

    Lol, ya "CA" is the only state that matters...Let's call off the General election and have the vote decided in California...Facts are facts Braniac...He hasn't carried a state with a large population that wasn't (Illinois - his home state) or any state that doesn't have a large Black population (With the wonders of proportional delegates - Thanks Jesse Jackson)...Let's see your spin on that, Moron...

  • Wrong, Rebecca

    It is over.

    And Hillary is not the winner.

    The basketball analogy in the earlier letter just about nails it. There is no way Hillary can win. Sorry, Hillary fans. Sorry, Rebecca. Sorry, Salon. And don't try to tell me she can make the equivalent of five three pointers in a row in 30 seconds while Obama turns the ball over every possession and misses all his free throws. Not gonna happen.

    It's been fun, but it's gone on long enough. Salon, and its editor, need to deal with that, or Salon will be over as well. Your unrealistic, fervid Hillary bias taints your believability and credibility on every other issue you write about. If you are not careful Salon will end up like Hillary, where the majority do not think you trustworthy or honest. I would hate for that to happen.

    This whole one sided Hillary campaign from a supposedly liberal but evenhanded source is getting tiresome, wrecking the magazine's reputation as fair minded and losing Salon readers. Salon is now well on its way to becoming a joke. And it's not funny. Actually, it's sad. Literally.

    Wake up. It's over. Now let's get on to the business of beating McCain.

  • @AJ and the rest of the boyz

    Like your messiah, hard questions produce whinning and attacks but NO answers. First of all, Mike Huckabee does not speak for me. Second, I am talking about Mr. Obama's lies regarding the genesis for Rev. Wright's statements, which is a totally separate topic and one that you have never addressed because it just hit the major presses two days ago.

    Yet, we hear nothing about it. You also fail to address what L. Farrakhan did to Malcolm X, and why, as well as a many other issues I have brought up. You simply talk about my body parts as if they are relevant, and in the hopes that I would care. They are not, and I do not.

    We can talk about lots of other issues about Obama, and I will pick and choose great topics as the days progress because this little boy party you have going on here is sickening. Also, with every answer you prove my point about at least one subset of Obama supporters (in case you are wondering, you are the woman hating subset).

    Finally, she is going to bring a much larger case of whoop ass down on your boy than you are thinking, but since I don't want to force you to run for the viagra bottle too early today I won't break it to ya in real terms, but just remember the girl from texas told ya. GO HILLARY. YES SHE CAN. GOD BLESS PA.

    Oh, and I think that, if truth be told, it is only those men with very small brains/other things/fill in the blank that actually imply that other people on the internet are fat. Who else could be so stupid/scared/lacking of self esteem and NOT realize that it is quite similar to, perhaps, the scenario of the balding older man with the red corvette.

  • two things

    first, yes, it is over. Senator Clinton statistically cannot win, unless Obama dies. I like and respect her, and if she somehow pulled this off, I would of course vote for her. but the numbers are the numbers.

    But, I think her continuing the campaign is a good thing (as long as the superdelegates fall in line on July 1, like Dean has asked). It allows the democrats to get more registered voters, to visit more states, and to speak and meet with more people than ever before. If the dems can make quasi-safe republican bastions like Indiana, West Virginia, Montana, and Virgina close enough that McCain has to waste time and money there, that's less he can do in the only place that matters, Ohio. In the end, the only reason why the democrats are having any kind of resurgence is their decision to begin running 50 state campaigns (incompetent Bush certainly does help, though, as does the moral and objective bankruptcy of his "conservative" ideology - reality will always catch up with smoke and mirrors eventually). This is a center-left county, contrary to what almost all the pundits try and say. on almost every issue, the public opinion sides with the democrats. (only guns, which hopefully is more perception than reality, do the dems have a problem). We need to go to these people, in the interior west and midwest, and convince them that the dems are the more fiscally responsible, more intelligent national security party. dems, the old line goes, are tax and spend. what i would pay to see Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton to begin calling the republicans the party of "borrow and spend." The biggest problem for dems always is the inability to deliver to the people a balanced message, instead of the atrociously one-sided conventional wisdom that is out there. this primary has allowed the party to campaign, talk, meet, and show people the crap they hear from the right wing and the msm simply isn't true. I think this battle will, in the end, help the party. does anyone seriously think any of the attacks that come out of the primaries weren't going to be used by the republicans anyway? I think we should use this nomination campaign in the best way possible, helping people see a different perspective on just what the democratic party stands for, and knocking down the misperceptions people may have. make the republican party what it should be - the regional party of the south.

    i do wish Senator Clinton would have been critical of the moderators at the debate. it would have shown class, it would have brought the debate back to the issues that people, at least the democrats in PA voting in the primary, care about. Obama is absolutely correct in the criticism - it wasn't that they were tough questions, its that they were stupid, inane questions of no import. If Senator Clinton thinks she is the better Commander in Chief, etc, than please debate and run on that - don't play into the stupid personality politics the lazy press wants her to.
