In Friday's Letters to the Editor
Readers sound off on the Democratic convention in Friday's letters. One reader considers Barack Obama an empty suit. Another, a basketball fan, thinks he's the Magic Johnson of politics. And everyone's still talking about Hillary Clinton.
Annie Jelnick, of Corona Del Mar, asks Democrats to put the plight of Clinton's supporters in perspective:
I think the Democrats are missing the point with regard to whether or not Hillary Clinton's supporters will unite around Obama. We understand that we lost but right now, many of us are still smarting over that. We felt she was and is an excellent candidate, and yes, we wanted to support a woman...
If Obama is the best candidate, when all is said and done it will be proven in the privacy of the voting booth. All of the posturing and teeth-gnashing by prominent Democrats won't make a whit of difference.
In fact, what are they afraid of?

Regarding todays opinion on no goverment loans to the auto companys because they created there own problems and slow to react to change. Thats fine but California should use that same thought when the"Big One hits" and California falls off into the ocean. You know its been coming for years but were slow to react and continued on the greedy path of building every where with no thought of the highly regarded opionion you were over due! Put up a few donation bottles here in Detroit we have something to fill them with. Just Trying to make a living!!!
