    Bittergate

    I think that people are looking for a reason, any reason to discredit Obama. He's an elitist. He's a secret Muslim. He is anti-American because he belongs to a church which at one time was headed by Christian Reverend Wright. He is young. He is a visionary. All of it is politics at its lowest. The Democratic Party needs to wake up. Meanwhile, McCain is getting more and more support from the same conservative Republicans who a few months ago wanted him boycotted at the election. If we don't watch it, McCain will get the same kind of vote Nixon got in 1968. Earlier this year, I had no problem with Hillary. Now, it will be very difficult for me to vote for her in November. I wonder if she has Karl Rove on her team, now that Geraldine Ferraro has left Hillary's camp.
