Yes, I think we should all be way less nasty. Then President McCain will throw us a juicy bone, will he not?

I agree with Robin Morgan’s piece, here.

How Hillary can spin a narrow loss in CA (sotto voce): California is well-known as a haven for shallow, celebrity-obsessed, ditzes and airheads, so what did you expect?

I’m voting for Edwards in NYS.
The roots need to keep on pushing.
I don’t fully trust Obama,
and I don’t trust Hillary’s entourage.

Allan, I’m with you.

I don’t fully trust Obama either and the people that surround Hillary remind me too much of Karl Rove and his style of politics. I’m still very angry that Hillary supporters kept going on cable TV to knee cap Edwards. They pretended to be Democrats who were not aligned with a candidate but I knew they were Hillary people. Everytime I saw Peter Fenn’s smirking face while he eviscerated Edwards I just wanted to scream. He was far and away the worst of these people but the others got their knives into Edwards too.

While Obama’s nasty supporters were not as numerous as the Hillary crowd they still had Lawrence O’Donnell who wrote that vicious rant on the Huffington Post that called Edwards a loser.

I also think both Obama & Hillary are too beholden to the special interests. So I too will vote for Edwards in my May primary.

Stoller and Bowers…. tell me have they ever voted in an election where a clinton or a bush was not on the ballot?

Its a silly thing since it will be a tsunami for Obama tomorrow. Everyone knows that. :-)

Stoller and Bowers…it sounds like a team of proctologists. I think I’ll seek a second opinion.

I think America is ready for a change from the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton cycle. They are tired of the same old divisive politics. They want a politician who can inspire people, and who can reach across the aisle, because that is what it will take to get anything done. We want hope, unity and change. Go Obama go!

There are a number of Clinton ‘legacies’ which are less than wonderful, and keep on giving us grief, including some rather dangerous ones that Bush has happily expanded on. It does give me pause, thinking of Hillary, that there could be a few more costly and unhappy plans in store for us yet in that ‘blind trust’ which all politicians demand of us.

Thanks RevDeb! I have been checking over there all the time before commenting. Didn’t see any update from EW – and the last I saw looking at comments, there was nothing about the current doings. Just checked – and saw there were recent comments. Thanks!
