And it looks like Roger Cohen will be arguing with Obama and RFK Jr., who did not fake outrage about Clinton's remarks.

truthseeker77: Your interpretation of Obama's "bitter" quote is more of a "misrepresentation" than anything I said about Paul Krugman's piece...

"Nor should Obama supporters dismiss Mrs. Clinton’s strength as a purely Appalachian phenomenon, with the implication that Clinton voters are just a bunch of hicks."

I've never heard this "implication" from Krugman's mythical "Obama supporters." And like I said above, I don't "dismiss" Hillary's voters or "imply" that they're anything other than supporters of a strong candidate. I hope they vote Democrat for President in November. But Hillary holds the key; she needs to tell them to vote Obama, no matter how difficult it may be personally for her.

Democrats finally have a chance to take real action to fix W's disasters if we win the Presidency along with the Congress. Not so if we only win back Congress.

I hope she chooses wisely.

Hillary gleefully took Obama's "cling to guns" comment way out of context and hammered it home, between shots of whiskey, to the voters in Appalachia, when if fact Obama was providing a sensible answer, when read in whole, to a question about a definite Democratic problem in front of a private gathering. Now, Hillary is all a twitter because of her assassination remark, claiming that she was taken out of context.

Obama will be the nominee. Hillary's standing in the party and her legacy will depend on what she does in the next few months. Will she gracefully exit and support the Dem Party as she claims? Will she go into FL, PA, OH, WV, KY and appeal to her voters to vote for the Dem Party in November? Or will she just retreat further into victimhood and start calculating for 2012? Her choice. Personally, I don't think she can see past the nose on her face.

Fremont: No matter what happens, I'm not "threatening to vote Republican".

And, Fremont, don't go running around calling people you don't know "limosine liberals" who've never "dug for coal" or "waited tables." You have no f'ing clue what other people go through in life. So choose your accusations wisely next time.

Fremont, Sen. Clinton cannot win the Democratic nomination. All she can do if she "takes it to the convention floor," is wreak terrible harm upon the Democratic party. Why do you want to see her do this?

If Hillary is really such a brilliant and proven leader, why can't she even win the Dem nomination, huh?

I'm an Obama guy. I'd spend more time blogging too if I wasn't working 60 hours a week trying to get our little company off the ground. My hands get just as dirty as yours. Obama is my age. I don't feel I need 8 more years of seasoning at my age. Bill Clinton and JFK were both in their 40s when they won the White House. If Hillary manages to snag the nomination, I'll vote for her, perhaps while ruefully wishing what might have been with Obama.

While Hillary may be hard-working, driven, and intelligent, her personal style is also incredibly divisive, as reflected in her persistent high negatives. This style was demonstrated by her inability to get a health care proposal off the ground in the early '90s, despite a Dem House, Senate, and President. Couldn't even get it out of committee because she burned so many bridges just getting it to committee. She is too much like the current president for my tastes: strong-willed, unwilling to admit mistakes, and petulant when she does. I think Obama brings a better skill set and interpersonal style to solve the significant problems we face, regardless of his age.

Yes, all this divisiveness is all Obama's fault. How dare he run against Hillary. It was her turn. She was entitled to it. It was hers by right. That's how politics in democracies work. You get the office when its your turn and that silly business of convincing the voters that you are the best person for the job is just naive, idealistic claptrap.
