Bill and Joe and Chris?

Posted: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 9:52 PM by Domenico Montanaro

From NBC/NJ's Carrie Dann
Clinton proposes that people like "Bill and Joe and Chris" should contribute to a  diplomatic effort in the Middle East. A subtle way to throw the second tier a bone and undermine the foreign policy cred of her top rivals.

or say if you want a cabinet position, you better think about it now!

and here comes richardson saying i want to be VP!
Sick of the Clinton bashing, especialy from Tim Russert, he is bias, where did the journalist leave.
Ever debate he has an issue with her, get him off the debates, please. Let's have a professional ask the questions.
why do you say its better for the two of them to go after her???? because she is a women??? look she chose to run against these men, if she wants to be president then she better be able to handle anything, not try to use her being a women and look like poor me, they are attacking her, to me that will turn me off of her, we need someone who can withstand and fight back , this is what I was afraid would happen , the press and media going to her defense and end up talking and reporting about poor hillary being attacked by the big ugly men, when we all know how vicious she can be, and you know its about time someone go after her, the press and media sure haven't as if they are afraid of her and her clinton machine, why will you all not ask her the hard questions??????? you all give her a pass, I myself like Edwards and I am glad its about time he went after her tonight.
I tuned in a little late, but I think the moderators are paying too much attention to Hillary, mostly and Obama. The other candidates are really the best options. I am a democrate against Hillary. I believe the republicans do want Hillary to be the dem candidate, I won't vote for her. Dennis Kucinich is the only one that is speaking truthfully and realistically. He speaks like a person and not a politician. That is probably why the major news outlets (NBC included) are not giving him the coverage he deserves. I hope you print this, it is a valid viewpoint and what I think most Americans believe.
As you see again tonight, Biden is operating at a totally different level than the rest of the crew. Dodd really seems to have stepped up tonight, but once again Richardson seems like a sit-com type candidate (the regular guy who loves his country and wants to do good, but ultimately is an oaf). Clinton is certainly qualified and definitely more qualified than Richardson and most likely more suited for the office than Dodd, but falls far short of having the goods that Biden has. Perhaps Biden ought to throw her the Health Care bone for his administration.
Is it just me or are Biden and Dodd really performing well tonight?  Obama and Edwards had better be careful because Biden and Dodd are bringing their A-game.  Even though they're not getting a lot of time to speak, they are making the most of the time they do get.
