NEW YORK POST ENDORSES SEN. BARACK OBAMA – KISS OF DEATH?

RickyD from Brooklyn, who is fast becoming our regular pro-Senator Clinton advocate takes issue with just what the Murdoch endorsement might mean. He also seems to compare her to the notorious Madame LaFarge from Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities which, candidly, is not likely to boost her favorables. We welcome more comment […]

The Pro-Sen. Obama response?

GraceForAll from Orlando, Fl writes:
The question is not whether the Clintons are good people I believe they are good people. I believe that they did a great deal of good for the country. But, I also ackowledge that there is a huge segment of people in this country who just hate them. […]

Is Sen. Barack Obama “Republican Lite” as one reader suggests:

RickyD, the Clinton supporter from Brooklyn, adds more fuel to the fire by asking (And I promise we will run responses) :
Is Obama good for blacks?
When it comes to the sub-prime mortgage crisis, he isn’t…
When all is said and done, the “race” issue was always a canard, but Obama’s people played the victim very effectively.
The […]

One reader’s take on the Obama-Clinton “controversy”

Newbie from D.C. writes:
I think that Obama’s supporters are proving a bit thin-skinned and a bit misdirected in their accusations. (Instead of attacking Hillary Clinton for her MLK day comment about President Johnson, how about the entire slate of GOP candidates who were invited to attend that same memorial and just blew it […]

Why I Support Ron Paul

From Mrs Overworked in Seattle:
Dr. Paul believes Thomas Paine’s adage that the government “governs best that governs least”, both in terms of the size of the federal government and the size of its budgets. He also respects our Constitutional right to privacy. Both of these make him the <i>only</i> candidate that adheres to many of […]

Why I support Senator Barack Obama

From LindaD86, somewhere in Texas
Senator Obama is the generational candidate, the candidate of change.
We post Baby Boomers have grown up in a different world: equality and respect for the individual are no longer controversial. We want to see the problems and challeneges facing Americans to be dealt with in a creative and transparent fashion. […]

Why I support Hillary Clinton

From RickyD, Brooklyn, NY
I do not support Sen Clinton because she is charismatic, internationally admired or a woman, though she is unquestionably all of those things.
My endorsement of Sen Clinton is for much more mundane qualifications, but they are the ones I am the keenest to see in the next Chief Executive of the United […]

Why I Support Dennis Kucinich

From Dominic in San Diego :
Dennis Kucinich has been described as the Peace Candidate. He is certainly that. But he is much, much more. For American progressives, Kucinich is the only real option. He has been fighting to end funding for the occupation of Iraq. He has lobbied fiercely for single-payer healthcare. He is an […]

Why I support Mike Huckabee

From AJ-CD2001, Williamsport, PA.
There are lots of reasons why this candidacy appeals to me. Not least is that Gov Huckabee represents millions of Americans who keep voting Republican but keep seeing their way of life eroding just the same.
While the Gov might seem regressive on some issues, his interest in helping the ordinary American […]
