Comment: To the Editor:
I didn't see a black man and a white man on your latest cover-I saw TWO men.
Maybe McCain isn't stuck in the last century afterall???

Comment: I'm an Obama voter, the descendent of Confederate veterans, and a reenactor, and I don't appreciate your nasty article one bit. You do a disservice to the CSA vets (less than 10% of whom were slaveholders), especially the many American Indians, Hispanics, blacks, and Jews who fought for the south. Furthermore, racists in reenactor ranks get booted out REAL fast. In 2006 I stood in protest with other reenactors at Gettysburg and Sharpsburg when the KKK held a rally there. They don't represent us, southern heritage, Confederate heritage, or any true Americans. Get your facts straight, or interview some REAL southern people instead of hunting for someone who fits your preconceived image to interview.

Comment: The newsstand issue I received today completely lacks the whole Fall Arts "preview." Instead, it covers just the Metallica album, and the Brad Pitt and Anne Hathaway movies. What's up, Newsweek? Is this an error? If so, I'd like the rest of my missing pages. If not, don't waste the space on a lame three-point story that you tease as being way more interesting than it really will be.

Comment: I have been a life long independant until last spring when I joined the democrat party to vote for Hillary Clinton. Clearly amost 50% of the party favored Hillary Clinton yet Obama chose Biden as his running mate. He is totally ignoring the split within the party by his choice of running mate. A decision he will regret in November.
