As requested, here’s my letter. I sent it to the Seattle, Olympia and Tacoma papers, and the NYT, WaPo, and the WSJ.

Oh, good letter, Nora. Mind if I plagiarize for mine to the San Antonio Express-News?

Georgia Congressman John Lewis told WSB-TV Channel 2’s Monica Pearson Wednesday that he is switching his support from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama.

Wow. My respect for John Lewis pretty much pushes me over any remaining hesitation I had. Going out in a little while to early-voting place (Texas)–guess I know who I’m voting for.
I feel for Hillary, but I really don’t think she can get elected, and I think she probably wouldn’t do what we want if she could. (always remembering, she’d be a HELL of a lot better than any Reepublic)

Hey Petro!

AP,

I’ve been a loyal consumer of your news for more than 30 years and
have never written to you before. I’m — still — a supporter of John
Edwards for the Democratic nomination for President, so do not think
for a moment I’m writing you because I’m an Obama partisan; I’m
most assuredly not. I’ve written to MSNBC complaining about Chris
Matthews’ coverage of Hillary Clinton, too.

The tripe that passes for “information” or “sourcing” regarding
Barack Obama’s patriotism that Ms. Pickler strung together and you had the audacity to spread throughout the news cycle — something
only AP with it’s reach and reputation could accomplish — is not only
not news, it’s bunk. If you want to cover the lunatic fringe of the
Republican party’s obsession with character assassination, *that*
would be news and a public service. But don’t think for a moment
the story is anything other than their obsessive love affair with the
politics of destruction; their targets and the details they select to
use in the process are irrelevant to it.

There was almost 200,000 LA County “Decline To State” voters that lost their voices because of these ballots, voters who correctly and clearly voted for one of t5he Democratic candidates on the ballot. They asked for a Democratic ballot, voted for a Democratic candidate…but failed to mark a bubble at the top of the ballot that indicated they were “DNS”.

Fortunately members of the supervisors and Debra Bowen, the Calif. Sect’y of State, also requested that the Electoral Commissioner change his approach. It’s unlikely that any delegates will change as a result, but a principal is upheld, one that Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush denied voters in Florida. “Every Voter’s Choice will be counted”.

Listening to the Senate this afternoon I understand that everything is peachy keen in Iraq.

We won the war except for the losing it part and it is now safe to leave 140,000 US troops there.
