Who said, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"
I agree that during the campaign she was remarkably racist and sexist. Both are incredibly manipulative. She is fantasic at what she does though, and brilliant. I think a lot of the abuse they ground through from the a holes of the GOP all those years made them who they are. They had to adopt an ''if you can't beat em, join em.'' I do love them ...

Barack Obama's Campaign Difficulties, from A to Z
A is for ''an Academic'', is he too much of one? And does this mean he's unable to have down-home fun? B is for ''too Black or not black enough,'' is he the former or the latter, and If we've transcended race, does it really matter? C is for ''dealing with Hillary Clinton'', now there's a sticky wicket! Can he assuage her supporters without ...

Sorry, but I don't agree
Donna: We don't talk about the morality of universal health care, quality education for all, or a living wage. More importantly, we don't even talk about how they benefit all Americans, not just the working poor. As a friend says, ''You have to meet people where they are and bring them along.'' We refuse to do that. Obama hasn't done it and he ...

Where is the sexism?
While I think the white priest was excoriated for an inappropriate (and I think pandering) performance during a Sunday morning sermon(?), I believe the attribution was correct. It should have been presented on Saturday Night Live or have been the second in a new series, The Eleventh Hour. Ms. Clinton's early, apparently solitary claim to the ...

McCain’s Defense of Hagee
OK, there wasn’t one. As a result of controversy that was raised up about Pastor John Hagee within the past few days, Senator John McCain rejected the endorsement Hagee had given his presidential candidacy, without any apparent attempt to come to Hagee’s defense.At the center of the mentioned controversy is an argument Pastor Hagee included in a ...

Hillary & McCain Wrong as Wright
Everyone claims that Hillary is simply setting up Obama for McCain out of spite. Other claims include the charge that Hillary is continuing her efforts to destroy Obama because even though she may have lost the nomination for this election, she'll have a clear field in 2012 once he's out of the way. The problem is that this country CAN'T AFFORD ...

Re: Nothing but net!
Not sure how the fraywatch editors selected this as a top entry, as several assumptions are contained in this piece that are beyond merely arguable. Firstly, while Obama has denounced his pastor for the remarks that have been edited together on YouTube, he has denied being in attendance during those Sundays when they were spoken. If those ...

Popular Vote Totals in Aggregate Mean Nothing...
... and Hillary Clinton is still due to become the Democratic Party nominee for the Presidential run this Fall. If Democratic Party stalwarts fail to understand that Hillary and Bill Clinton are their best package to run against McCain in this 2008 election season, then welcome to another 8, 16, or 32 years of Republicans in the White House, ...
