Edwards pointing out differences

Posted: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 9:07 PM by Domenico Montanaro

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
Edwards going at Clinton immediately. "I would have our combat troops out of Iraq." Clinton would not, he said. Clinton said she may keep combat troops there to find al Qaeda.

Edwards looked poised in following up on his answer. Not angry or frustrated as we've seen him before, more presidential.

edwards 2008!
Hillary is concerned about dealing with a continuing al Qaeda presence in Iraq, and Edwards is not. The contrast is clear.
"Hillary is concerned about dealing with a continuing al Qaeda presence in Iraq, and Edwards is not. The contrast is clear"?

And Hillary would want to keep troops in Iraq without regard to what the citizens of Iraq want?  Nobody wants American troops in Iraq.  The Iraqis are perfectly capable of running Al Qaeda out of their country themselves.
RON PAUL HAS IT RIGHT --

IT WAS WRONG TO GO IN, SO IT'S WRONG TO STAY!
Heh, its' Edwards for me.  After Clinton voting for Kyl/Lieberman, she has demonstrated she doesn't have the spine to be President and stand up to the PUKES.
I love hillary. I am very sick of hearing Chris Matthews actually foaming at the mouth in the hatred he spurs about Hillary and Bill.  It is very obvious that most of msnbc and cnbc really hates Hillary. So sad you're just like Fox and friends.  who needs friends like you? you know it all. Huh!
To Chuck Todd  You are the fairest of them all and Keith Oberman is the very best
I agree.  The look matters.  He was much more composed tonight.  He's getting better controlling his emotions, even though they almost got the best of him at the end, there.
I agree With both of Sharon Hooks' comments word for word. What is wrong with Mathews? He attacks HRC with an insane vengence. I had more of him than I could take today. He has no right to poison the electoral process like that. What he is doing is far beyond what someone in his position should be doing. When you listen to Rush you Know where you are going (and Rush is amusing).
May I add David Schuster to Sharon's list?
