Shame on both of them - sit them down in a quiet room and make them read THE MAN by Irving Wallace !!!

Perhaps the Republican candidate should win afterall, if the Democrats cannot act disciplined and focused !!!

Ian Payne, WALSALL,

I AM SURPRISED , HERE WE ARE, faced with world crisis, and Hillary Clinton & her Husband can only think about Race, and dig up dirt to try and win, an election. The way I see it it is not only White America that has a Problem it is Blacks Latinos and every one who lives in America who is facing Recession and an American melt down. The war in America is costing so much money it is Bankrupting America, some are saying in the McCain Camp they have to win at all cost, to save face is crazy. The Iraqi people have Oil to sell to the west & the fact is The people in the Middle East is having having a laugh, Americans stay in The Middle East. is banrupting the American economy. Mr Bush has no answeres for the American decline. Why don't Mr Bush bring down interest rates to zero, and that will make no difference, the American people have been DUPED, the TRUE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR IS 0.04 cents and that is the ink and the paper. The party is over the GAME IS UP, Wake up America, The Dream Dead

Dear Daphne and James,
It is lovely to hear that compatriots living in the motherland are so passionate about American politics.Generally speaking the race card here is just a Red Herring,implemented wisely by Obama's camp at this stage to mislead the devoted followers of American politics and circumvent a 'key issue' which to me stands clear.Obama rings our ears with the big slogans of change and equality, which in an open debate begin to fall flat and sound dubious.I hope you two have followed closely the debates on television, and if you had,you would most probably agree with me that every time both candidates defended their ground Obama sounded like a different character one time putting on the Martin L. King's clothes,delivering key addresses from his speeches,then quickly changing into J.F.K and appealing to the masses sense of hope, and promising a brighter future. His camp are quick on raising the race card up when the race enters a hairy stage for fear of having little 2 say?

The comments from Obama's mentor and close friend Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., a couple of months ago asking for African Americans not to vote for Clinton, what are they?

I agree that Ms. Ferrero should have been more careful with her statements, but unfortunately, she is likely correct when she says that if Obama would be a woman (of any color) he wouldn’t have a chance.

Hillary Clinton will be a great President!

Geraldine Ferraro's comments were not only inappropriate, they were stupid. Let me put it another way - suppose i said that The only reason Hillary Clinton has risen as fast as she did was because she is a white woman. If she were a man or a black man or a black woman it never would have happened.

It's the same concept. But Geraldine would probably consider it very sexist. So it is also legitimate to consider her comment racist by the same token.

Also, consider this: where would George Bush be without the fundamentalist christians?

Every politian has one or more base constintuancies. it is obvious that without those groups that support him/her any polition will not do as well. Politics is always a contest between constituencies.

Geraldine's comment was inappropriate not only because of it's context but because it implies a denial of the competitive nature of politics. Let's give her the benefit of the doubt - she is either a racist or just immature about politics.

Why don't Hillary Clinton Speaks for her self and let Obama speak for him self. If She knows she can't win without digging up the dirt about Obama Just Quit, and spare us the Bull.....! Because the fact of the Matter is no one wants to know Obama can speak for him self. What Hillary has failed to realise, it's not Obama that is damaging the Democratic Party, it is Hillary, who don't care about the Party, but her self. Quite frankly I am sick of Hillary, I wish she would just go away. She is not going to win against Obama nor, McCain, she should just go away. I never liked her and like her even less now, and I am not surprised people are getting sick of her.

Let us not forget that the Democratic Party was the party of slavery and that Bill Clinton was exposed as belonging to a whites-only golf club before the 1992 election. I do not know where the idea came from that he has been the 'blackest' president so far - it is ludicrous. His recent behavior and that of Geraldine does raise some disturbing questions.
