    Beating a deadhorse race.

    It is okay to have an unacknowledged Hillary bias if you are merely writing as an op-ed columnist, but to do so as an editor risks harming the credibility of your publication.

    Judging from reader's increasingly negative responses to your articles perceived meritless attacks on Obama, this seems the case.

    Your focus on Obama's misconstrued and ackward statement, and your attempt to elevate it to a momentum changing gaffe, ignores the reality of voters opinions. Your latest hitpiece on Obama ignores the fact, that 6 out of 10 Americans polled view Hillary Clinton as untrust worthy, and that like the Rev. Wright controversy, Obama's support seems to have no ill affects in the polls. Rather he leads Hilllary Clinton by 10% among Democrats nationwide.

    The Hillary Clinton campaign has gone down, must you allow it to take Salon along with it?
