All of the rhetoric and brainless chatter is not creating a lot of good will. I for one and I sure hope there are so many more like me out there, will not do so. After eight years of Bush, I can take 4 years of McCain. Clinton will be available in four years, but if Obama loses the general election this November, he definitely won’t be. So, keep it up, and we’ll talk again in four years.

Such comments of hatred from Cohen and such condescension from Obama, who recently said women supporters of Hillary would have "bruised feelings but would come along" to his side, are slaps in the face to women all over this country. Here's a newsflash to Obama and his supporters: you can't win without women's support, especially white women over 50. And the more you insult Hillary, the more you act like just another ambitious, sexist man, the more you lose women's votes. The Democratic party is making a tragic error when it acts as if women's votes can be taken for granted but African American votes can't. Without Hillary and without women's support, Obama will lose in November. Hopefully someone will talk some sense into him or give him a pill for his hubris!

Senator Clinton is my senator and I hold her in high regard. His comment was ugly, mysogynistic and does indeed reflect the general attitude of Sen. Obama and his supporters toward Hillary. This remark and so many similar ones bubbling up from the press and the Obama camp are but a few of the reasons I am seriously considering, for the first time, leaving the Democrats for Independent status. I certainly won't contribute any more money to the DNC or the DNCC. I look forward to learning Cohen's opponent in the upcoming campaign and if he or she is at all palatable, contributing to his defeat. Finally, I've had my fill of Democrats trashing the Clintons and the President's two terms. If Democrats felt he was a liability in office, they had plenty of opportunities to defeat his proposals, mount a challenge to his re-election and to vote to impeach and remove him from office. They didn't because either they needed his fund raising skills or his coattails too badly. Then, in 2000, they complained the VP Gore didn't use Mr. Clinton enough! What a sad collection of hypocrites and fair weather friends. Cohen should be ashamed of his comments. I just read of Cohen's "Glen Close" comment re: Senator Clinton.

Will Hillary do the same or use it as another rallying cry to get more women support.

I know many women believe that Hillary is your best shot at the presidency. But Obama came out of nowhere and I am sure the is another woman out there somewhere with the same appeal.

I say no. Then why are so many women voting for her? It is because, the women themselves hope for equality in pay, in jobs and yes, even positions in Washington. They would vote for Imelda Marcos if she were running, and believe me, Imelda Marcos was a thief.....if the shoe fits......wear it!

My Dad was a coal miner from Ky., we lived in Va.,which our county went for Hillary by the way, and after he retired from Bethlehem Steel after 35 years in the coal mines, he put sprinkling systems in coal mines in West Va. Let me see some of you young Obama supporters walk one mile in his shoes. The people in those areas are hard working, honest people who have a very good education. I think we should listen to them because they know what they are doing by supporting Hillary. People following Obama are pathetic by blindly letting him lead you to the slaughter. This may be the first time someone in my family vote Republican. At least McCain fought for his country.

Everyone has an opinion, we shouldn't disregard it for some comments that might not go well with everyone, especially in this case, if you are a Clinton backer or an Obama backer. Cohen is on the right track by stating that Clinton should be focusing on the next step, helping the Democratic nominee be elected, rather than another white old rich republican who has no interest in anyone else's beliefs and issues. If this was flipped, Obama should be helping the Democratic nominee get elected. What the democrats need to realize is that, in the end, they need to work together. Just by looking at the two Democrats, Obama (an african american) and Clinton (a woman), shows you that the Democrats are the first engage change in our rotting government.
