I will never, in infamy, forget the day that I saw a MAN who wanted to become the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, sit idly by, KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING the magnitude of someone within his own reach BLASPHEMY this country the way REV. WRIGHT has talked about this country.

Say what you want to about the US, however, this country has given more than has ever been given in the history of the world.

Look it up for yourself.

Never in the historically known times, has a country tried so heartedly to treat EVERY MAN and WOMAN the same.  No matter the color.  No matter the gender.  No matter the differences between them so.

This is the greatest country in the world, it has tried to achieve the most brilliance of the world.  It has brought light at times of darkness.  It has proceeded to give all it can in times of need.

EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD.

In times past, and no doubt, current times indeed, have so many wanted to become just like us and be here near us.

The United States of America.

Shall no President of this great country, EVER listen and NOT SPEAK UP to ANY diatribe as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright brought against this great nation.

Men and women who listen should forever be changed by the mere hopes and dreams that this country has given to so many.  I wish for you that have love of country as well, bless it, NEVER CURSE it.  That which gives you so much.

Words are indeed important.

No man or woman should ever curse the things that have given so much, with so little asked in return.

TPM asked if this was at the behest of Clinton's advisor Harold Ickes who “had admonished the press not to use the phrase “super delegates” but instead to employ what he claims is the more accurate “automatic delegates.”

TPM's Josh Marshall warns against the change:

“…journalists whose job it is to sift through the spin become its messengers, wittingly or not.”

Many Democrats I talked to were extremely worried about her electability. Sexism could be one reason for that, but I think the whole Clinton-hating industry was more of an issue.

I also think a huge undercurrent working against Clinton here was that everyone knew if she won Iowa, the race was over.

She was ahead of all other candidates by double-digits in every state but Illinois and Iowa. In most states she was ahead by more than 20 points. Even in New Hampshire, she was ahead of Obama by more than 10 points until the last couple of weeks before the Iowa caucuses.

I think Iowans particularly wanted to give other candidates a hearing so that the nomination race would continue.

I did a research paper on the matter after the fact and determined that the Register “clubbed” Conlin's campaign with issues related to her husband's tax filings over 80 times. The runner up? The Cedar Rapids Gazette with about 30 mentions, mostly in response to the Register.

Who wrote those articles? James Flansburg and David Yepsen.

Whatever Yepsen's current popularity is, he got his start by bashing Roxanne Conlin over and over and over again in 1982.

The rest of the press was really quite decent. I can't recall Mike Glover of the AP or any of the TV stations ever stooping as low as Yepsen and Flansburg did on a near daily basis.
