Professional Journalism
I know you are professional journalists. A profession is a fancy Latin term for the way you express your belief in the one true God as you understand him. Mr. Webster describes profession as the act of taking the vows of a religious community, or: an act of openly declaring or publicly claiming a belief or faith: an avowed religious faith a: a ...

Wow- just a little slanted? Palin terrific reform alternati
This must be the well-balanced part; half arguing why Obama, and the other half why not McCain. So- McCain claiming that Palin is qualified to sit in reserve now means that Obama is also qualified? Why doesn't it work that while, yes- Obama selected a more experienced running mate, that was because he needed to; McCain was able to fill other ...

Less of a fantasy: President John Edwards.
Speaking of fantasies: also-ran John Edwards has just as good a chance as Bam or Hill of being the Dems' man at the August convention, and judging by current events, that's probably what he's gunning for. Want to know how? Check it out the post-North Carolina scenario on my blog.

Why Hillary Shjould Stay IN the race.
I will pose the converse of the thoughtful points made in the Fray: What makes you certain that Obama will have the steam to beat McCain? As a lifelong Democrat, ctivist and donor to the party, I insist that Democracy break out in the Democratic Party and that Hillary can stay in until she has made her argument with voters. After all she is ...

Reflection
Chris- Interesting and thought provoking- yet somewhat narrow. You've forgotten several considerations: 1. If Clinton won this election, what would stop her from running again in 2012- wouldn't telling her to step down cause a stronger rift within the party, between her supporters and those that hate her? 2. If you have spent enough ...

Re: Are Hillary supporters soon to be called &amp;amp;amp;quot;cult followers
Not all Clinton supporters are cult followers. I'm a former Clinton supporter and I can see some of the reasons there are still so many behind her; especially the older women. Older women (for arguments sake say, over 60) fought so hard against discrimination that this would be the crowning achievement in a struggle against sexism. Younger women ...

The Best Evidence: Comparing How the Campaigns Have Been Ru
Hillary's mantra is: I'm tested. I'm ready from day 1. She bills herself as the master manager. Obama's mantra is: Together we can. He bills himself as the master inspirer. All substance and no fluff say Hillary's supporters. Here's what I say and what the evidence shows for Obama: Inspiration and a master politician with real ...

N E G L E C T E D.....C O N S T I T U E N C Y..?
For better or worse, most people vote with their pocket-book. There is a group of people in the USA who are smart, who save their money, and actually want to pay more taxes! ( No, that is NOT a typo.....we DO want to pay more taxes! ) But we can't. Not in the USA. The government won't let us. Now, who the heck am I talking about? Those ...

Re: FD, perhaps you can explain
HI, Regarding Hillary, I recommend Maureen Dowd's column in the today's NYT. The thesis is ''Hillary cloaks her nepotism in feminism.'' Hillary has accomplished very little in her life on her own, suggests Dowd, who is no a great friend of the left. We can go back and forth forever about Hillary, but mark my words, if you choose Hillary over ...
