REALLY...This is what is qualifying as journalism now?
Actually, no -- This is an opinion piece, which is why it's in the opinion section of the magazine....
I was talking about furthering his agenda . The race is far from over; it's like quitting in the middle and that's not what America is about. Hillary supporters would be very angry if she just gave up and didn't fight right down to the last delegate. The nominee needs 2025 and Obama isn't even close. The Dems should be sick of the way Al Gore didn't fight to the last vote or the way John Kerry let himself be swiftboated and for not asking for an Ohio recount. The Dems have to stop rolling over no matter what they do.
Bravo to schatzismom--you posted my comment for me. I'd like to add: What, exactly, has Mr. Alter done in his career to help women, children, the poor and disenfranchised that qualifies him to dismiss Hillary Clinton with such self-satisfied disrespect? I'd like to compare their public service resumes. Does it ever occur to him that there are hundreds of thousands of us out here that are passionate supporters of hers, and that it is hardly the media's unbashedly biased and sexist role to decide this election for us? The sense of entitlement and arrogance is shameless and repulsive! Does it occur to you that Hillary does not quit because half the Democrats in this country are begging her not to, despite the relentless forces determined to undermine her from the beginning? She is listening to us, you pompous fool. Where do you think that $35 million she raised this month came from? And as a poll showed today, a large percentage of white, blue collar Democrats are going to defect to McCain if Obama is the nominee, and once again, the spineless Democrats will lose. It's not enough that Obama is profoundly unqualified--do you think he'd even be an also-ran if he was a woman with his thin resume?!--but he also shares Alter's arrogance, and like others, I will consider McCain, Nader, or be a conscientious objector if he is the choice. This has been like a repeat of the media's drumbeat for Bush and the war all over again. What an inane culture--people would rather vote for a fantasy, than deal with reality. That is why the infrastructure of this country is disintegrating. We don't want someone who is not glamorous, but works hard day and night. We want a movie star for President. That's worked out really well so far...
Actually, Hillary has two shots...1. If Obama makes a mistake or 2. If the people of Texas and Ohio get serious and vote for Hillary, the better candidate
Was this a tongue-in-cheek article? If so, it was an extremely poor attempt at humor. Who says sexism isn't alive and well in these United States? Mr. Alter and his ilk seem bent on putting that "uppity woman in her place"! I am a disenfranchised democrat from Florida. If Sen. Obama has his way the party will just step right over the corpse of our wasted votes. They should be careful though, we've been known to cause a problem or two in general elections. I WILL NOT vote for Obama under any circumstances! I will, however, vote for McCain. After all, at least Sen. McCain has a record to run on. Obama is an unknown. I fail to see the cause for the press' big crush on this very weak candidate. Since I won't be renewing my years' long subscription to Newsweek perhaps Mr. Alter can see some of the young chickeepoos who scream and faint at Obama rallies want to subscribe. Although all those I know who will be voting for Obama have so little interest in politics I doubt they would be interested in his magazine. I feel like I'm living through mass insanity or a very bad dream that just goes on day after day. What a shame the great promise of Hillary Clinton is being ignored for this nonsense. Shame on you, Jonathan Alter!
I wonder which Hillary we will see at the debate tonight. She has tried to show her nice side that failed. Then she started to yell and insult , that failed. So now what side will she bring out tonight at the debate? She will do just about anything to gain power. It is not wrong to have someone to inspire the people which Obama has. We need hope again in this country and not the same old crap that we have put up with for thesee seven years now. If Hillary wants to do so much for the country where the heck has she been for all these years? Her time is Over.
hope and insperation is not going to pay my bill. Get real use your brain.
Dee Dee Myers makes the most important point of all about Obama vs. Hillary: If a woman had the same amount of experience as Obama, she wouldn't even have been able to enter the primary race.
Who The Hell Took That Picture Of You,You Just Like Like The Republican Thug That I Thought You Would Look Like,With A Brain That Doesn't Match.If Senator Clinton Loses She Loses But It Won't Be Because She's Not The Best Candidate For The Job,But Ignorance From People Like You Who Are Slimier Than Slick Willy Himself You Put Me In Mind Of The Grinch You Also Look Like Him To,People He Only Wants You To Respond So He Can Brag With His New's Flunkies About How Many People He Got To Respond To This Rediculous Non Post Of His,Don't Continiously Let These Rethugs Play You Like That,They Don't Want Senator Clinton In The WhiteHouse,So You Know The Only Way Mr Obama Is Going To Make It Their Is If He,Goes Back To The South Side Of Chicago & Mount His Posse And Shoot His Way In Their,And Once He Smoke Some Of His Dope,And Put That S--T In His Nose He'll Be Hard To Stop,Did You Ever See (Scarface).I Will Say One Thing If Obama Is The Democratic Nominee Then My Vote Will Be For Senator McCain,He's An A-- Hole But At Least He Let's You Know That,I Don't Know What Mr Obama Is,I Haven't Trusted Him Since He First Opened His Lieing Mouth.A Man That Reads His Speeches From A Teleprompter Inspires People To Faint,Get Up The Leg's Organ--- On National Television,His Speeches Are Written By A 26 Year Old Canadian Kid,Their Not His Nothing He Has Is His The House,The Suits,The Smell,OH I'am Sorry The Smell Is His,I Guess Mr J. Alter Mr Obama Has Promised You This,That,& The Other Thing To( HUH)
Surely no one takes Mr Alter's columns seriously. There has not been a column that is critical of Obama. Why has not Newsweek, New yorl Times, Washington Post reported on the fact that CTV , a Newspaper in Canada is reporting that the Obama Campaign called Michael Wilson, Canada's ambassador to tell him that he was going to make statements about NAFTA and please ignore as it is only campaign rhetoric. The only thing I have seen is a story in a blog that is pro Obama that it's not true. (won't give name because they don't deserve any more press than they already get) However the newspaper in Canada is standing by its story. Why don't we have debates paid for with tax dollars and a primary vote like the general where everyone votes on the same day so that everyone has the opportunity to vote for the candidate of their choice.
I respectfully disagree with Jonathan Alter on this subject. Just as many voters on Super Tuesday were cheated by having one fewer candidate to choose from (sadly, Edwards dropped out before we Californians went to the polls), voters in upcoming primaries would be cheated by not having a choice at all if Clinton bowed out beforehand. Staying in the race is not undignified in any way; she owes it to her supporters to continue with her message all the way to Denver.

Alter I know of a beautiful cliff here in Texas and I want you to see the bottom of it!
You were one of many reasons I stop my weekly Newsweek delivery. God you are awful.
What a nerve Alter and the rest of the media have. First, they work gratis for Obama, never giving Hillary a level playing field. Now Alter suggests that Hillary should get out. Earth to Jonathan Alter: that's a decision for the voters, not you!

And now, we must consecrate the bonds of discipline. Thank you sir, may I have another. What's going through her mind? As Mr. T once said, You should have never came back!!!
Hillary was so far the best in the last debates! Just against a fake media press and against a political Mafia, orchestrated by the most reactionary corporate and foreign interests. All these factors make desperate efforts for handling the puppets !
We hope all the Christians and not only, from Ohio and Texas , will go to vote with their hearts and their minds! ...We have to give a very strong and their decisive response to all these antidemocratic and anarchists factors ! We have to vote for this country's destiny!...We don't accept the people to be manipulated by our enemies, which fully hate America ! We have to remember for ever the New York 911, when thousand of innocent people were killed in a horrible massacre !
Don't allow the most media press and TV to make own law, and for couple of "silver coins", these "so called journalists" will make it ease to be thrown all Americans to splodge through the mud...!!! IN GOD WE TRUST !!! gtx13/Ohio
