Top 10: Surrender, Hillary!
Hillary Clinton may have won most of the primaries last week, but she wasn't gaining any ground with L.A. Times readers. Our ten most popular stories of the week included a big helping of articles urging Clinton to quit the presidential race, along with some pointed advice for Barack Obama. We also had a pinch of fake memoirists and of course, the Israeli-Palestinian issue (which is sure to be solved if somebody will just write one more article about it). Full results:
1. Clinton campaign's dying light, by Jonathan Chait
2. Rally 'round the flag, Dems, by Gregory Rodriguez
3. It's your call, Hillary, by Rosa Brooks
4. Don't march into Gaza, by Amos Oz
5. A little something for the ladies, by Joel Stein
6. The end of the 'guilty Israeli' by Yossi Klein Halevi
7. Is race out of the race? by Abigail Thernstrom and Stephan Thernstrom
8. The lure of made-up memoirs, Tim Rutten
9. Mukasey's Paradox, by Jonathan Turley
10. The spirits behind the writers, by Joseph Tartakovsky

I believe most Americans know what issues we face as a nation as we try to decide which candidate(s) will best resolve them. We see in John McCain’s life, past and present a devotion to serve his country. Anyone who knows Senator McCain will tell you that he has passion for what he believes in and a constant drive to serve his country to the best of his abilities with sincerity, truthfulness, and dedication.
Most Americans are aware of the courageous service John provided as a naval aviator and POW . But few can fully appreciate how bad the egregious hospitality of the Hanoi Hilton was .His main concerns were for other POWs’ life threatening conditions and how he could help them is spite of the injuries he had received prior to and during his confinement.
To this day John’s truthfulness and dedication for what he believes in is demonstrated by his sincere and noble service as a Senator of the United States of America. We could do a whole lot worse than vote for John Mc Cain as our next president of the United States for every man, woman and child in our country regardless of their political affiliation.
God Speed John Mc Cain

I find it bizarre and disturbing how people attribute sexism and mysogyny to criticism of Hillary Clinton.
Let's face the facts: She is a TERRIBLE public speaker. Her body language is not natural, which is troubling. She conveys a sense of arrogance and pandering in her communication. And she is not a very likable, nor genuine person.
It has nothing to do with her being a woman and everything to do with her being Hillary Clinton.
Personally, to me, she comes across as an alien in a human suit.
I will never vote for her.
