Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Clinton notches another do-or-die big-state win in Pennsylvania. Which is more troubling for Democrats -- her scorched-earth tactics or Obama's failure to build on his base?
  • President McCain. Get used to it.

    The arguement has become silly. Neither Obama nor Clinton could beat McCain at this point. The Democrats have gone from a no-brainer win to certain defeat. The Republicans would never have been stupid enough to allow this circus to have taken place. And not just the party insiders. Republican voters know how to win. At this point I have a sickening feeling many Democratic voters are being propelled by the attention. The party and its supporters should have rallied behind a candidate early. There is absolutely no good that can come from this. Both candidates will be fatally wounded by the time this wraps up...and let's face it both would have to be at their strongest to fend off the Republican assault. Weakened, with a fractured party behind the, neither has much hope in the fall. Clinton is dragging a Jacob Marley chain of negatives, scandals and issues that make the Republicans cum in their pants. Obama has a big problem with dodgy past associations that make him a big target (rule one: if you have serious political ambitions be very careful who you play with).

    The voters they're fighting over (blue collar whites) will flock to John McCain in the fall no matter whick one ends up the nominee. What we're seeing now is just theater.
