Hers was based on a lot of wrong assumptions, while his was pure arrogance and condescension. I swear, I had to look at the author's name twice to be sure it wasn't written by Keith Olberman!!!

I don't think however I could ever vote either Edward or Biden. Biden's son, the Attorney General of Delaware was the one who issued a warrant for Larry Sinclair. Larry Sinclair claims it was without merit and a fraud. He cannot afford an attorney so he will by himself at court. Of course it will be thrown out but the effect remains. Someone talks something about Obama and bang they get discredited and what better way than arrested in front of the reporters who just heard his story. There are too many at the top who are enabling Obama and his campaign and that's the scariest thing about this election. Charles that was excellent.

These angry people have nowhere else to go. So the safe expectation is that they will fall in line without much kicking and screaming. And that, ultimately, is why many of them are kicking and screaming. Yes, they’re going to vote for Obama. Of course they’ll vote for him. The truth is, they’ll probably love voting for him. But after what they feel has been done to them — the way in which they were written off, marginalized and resented, their hopes mocked and their history-making ambitions dismissed as retrograde identity politicking — damned if they’re going to be nice girls about it." That paragraph makes me wretch. We have "nowhere else to go?" Just try us. "The truth is, they'll probably love voting for him." Clearly, she has never read any of our posts or talked to anyone. Not only will I never vote for him, the idea of feeling anything less than disgust for him is unimaginable to me. Exactly. These angry people have nowhere else to go.

I almost left before that, when she had a fit because people were telling the truth about Ted Kennedy. But no, so eager was she to be a good party girl, she beckoned the Obama boys in BEFORE Hillary pulled out of the race!!! After the Hillary supporters had only gathered at her site in the first place to get away from their horrible behavior. TM just wants a job. They all do, that's why they can't even wait until the body is cold before moving on to serve the victor. Hail Party! I think it was a lost opportunity, personally. She'll never be able to compete with the Obama boy bloggers, they won't let her into the club because she's a woman - maybe she can get the boys coffee.
