Obama is a total narcissist if he even thinks about running for President with that tiny portfolio he has. I don't care for his race but he should have been more experiences or at least have some original ideas not just copy-paste from other candidates.<BR/><BR/>While I supported all Democrat candidates from Dukakis to Kerry, I can't help wondering how unprofessional DNC is to seriously endorse Obama this fall. So Democrats deserve to lose if they think they can put any candidate to win over GOP with one finger!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014482.post-54920699118738380942008-06-04T07:39:00.000-07:002008-06-04T07:39:00.000-07:00Still no response from Dr. Long.

For one thing, she's gotta be entirely snowed under with emails, even more so than a literary agent who announces she is running a free manuscript critique contest. So she probably skimmed it, if she even opened it, and either tossed it away or set it aside for further thought.PJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028687955957107957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014482.post-80135153599441121232008-05-31T05:21:00.000-07:002008-05-31T05:21:00.000-07:00Pete,I think it's great that you care enough to ac...Pete,<BR/><BR/>I think it's great that you care enough to actually do something - take the time to write the letter, and to speak out.<BR/><BR/>It will be really interesting to see if you receive a reply.Robin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03258459688300851984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014482.post-7165160718724399952008-05-30T20:54:00.000-07:002008-05-30T20:54:00.000-07:00I didn't read it carefully enough to notice!

One of many who pass along an e-mail without checking its veracity. *sigh* Too many of those in this world.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the heads up!<BR/><BR/>And I'm sorry but writing in Clinton's name is almost as bad as not voting.

It's someone who would vote for a yellow dog before voting for a Republican.<BR/><BR/>I propose we change that to "Irish Turkey Democrat," because I would be <I>so totally willing</I> to vote for that Irish turkey over anyone even remotely associated with the Bush administration. Anyway, it might be a lot of fun to have that turkey as the leader of the free world. Gives new meaning to the old saw, "talking turkey."PJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028687955957107957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014482.post-27408896714320996452008-05-30T12:15:00.000-07:002008-05-30T12:15:00.000-07:00As somebody who will be directly affected by the o...As somebody who will be <B>directly</B> affected by the outcome of this election despite having no say whatsoever in who wins - I am really scared by this kind of manipulation. As a member of the human race I would beg the American public NOT to inflict another 4 years of Republican politics on the world. I think both the Democratic candidates are strong and would be happy for either to win although the shit flinging during the primaries has wound me right up. Stick to the frickin' issues guys.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing your email Pete. It was well constructed and powerful - I hope the good Dr sees fit to respond.<BR/><BR/><I>(If not I know an Irish Turkey who'll run in oppoistion to McCain!)</I>JaneyVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951739945670483199noreply@blogger.com
