If...Yes, Penn and Grunwald do make that much money. If you want a reason to vote for Obama, ask someone in his campaign. I endorsed John McCain.<BR/><BR/>I don't do post-a-thons; I get paid for what I write.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Susan J.

If it's true, no wonder people, once in politics, don't want to leave.<BR/><BR/>Anyway...rather than go toe to toe in a snooty post-a-thon, I will ask you why you think -- if indeed you do -- Obama would be a better president than H. Clinton. <BR/><BR/>What accomplishments, either in the Illinois Legislature or the U.S. Senate, does he have that you believe indicate that he would be an excellent president?<BR/><BR/>While I can agree with someone who speaks highly of his skills as an orator or as someone who has energized what traditionally is an apathetic demographic when it comes to politics, I struggle to find tangible results which support his claim of being able to unite those tired of partisian rancor. <BR/><BR/>In fact his legislative record, and the areas in which he can claim bipartisian interaction is rather unimpressive. Especially when compared to someone like H. Clinton, who when she entered the Senate, "enjoyed" the animus and distrust of a majority of her Republican colleagues. Arguably a tougher starting point than the one Obama inhabited when he started his Senatorial career. <BR/><BR/>So rather than tear Clinton down --which given your apparent intellegence and distinguished resume should prove rather unchallenging -- please provide your readers, or at least this one, an affirmative account of why Susan J. Demas believes Senator Obama is best qualified to be President of the United States.<BR/><BR/>That would be far more entertaining, and intellectually stimulating, than reading a re-post of how the vast, Clinton-wing conspiracy threatens the credibility of a Democratic "do-over" vote in Michigan.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08225495739450540745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655786796982608016.post-1251582212294302922008-03-14T09:43:00.000-04:002008-03-14T09:43:00.000-04:00I hope the Clinton campaign is paying you well, if...I hope the Clinton campaign is paying you well, if they have any cash left over after paying Mark Penn $5 million and Mandy Grunwald $3 million.Susan J.

You didn't have time in your otherwise busy week to come up with another Anti-Clinton piece, so you just re-posted the last hit? <BR/><BR/>Since you seem too busy for originality, here are some options for you to consider:<BR/><BR/>Maybe next time you can focus on Ferraro's comments while at the same time overlooking those of Obama's pastor? <BR/><BR/>Or maybe you can investigate the real meaning and alterior motives behind Penn saying that Obama "can't win the general" while saying nary a word about Power calling Clinton "a monster".<BR/><BR/>These topics would seem to provide you with yet another opportunity to direct your apparent animus to all things Clinton while waxing poetic about the appeal, and your concern for the safety of, the good Senator from Illinois.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08225495739450540745noreply@blogger.com
