This letter is associated with the following article:
Is Obama's coalition just "eggheads and African-Americans"? Is Clinton's emphasis on "Joe and Jane Sixpack" excluding black blue-collar Democrats? A frank exchange of views on CNN.
  • @ Joan

    Creepy GOP trolls? I hope that's not directed at me. I am an uncreepy Obama supporter.

    I haven't seen so much of the hardball Chicago politics. What I've seen is Obama repeatedly giving graceful, even statesmanlike, answers to provocative questions. When he is asked what he thinks of President Clinton saying that the Obama campaign is the greatest fairy tale, Obama smiles and says "I think he wants to help his wife." In every instance I've seen, Obama has fielded this kind of question without resorting to the low road.

    Your candidate, on the other hand, won't even refute, on 60 Minutes, the accusation that Obama is a Muslim without adding the wholly inappropriate "as far as I know."

    There's a word for that kind of campaigning. The word is creepy.
