Look them all up. Hillary Clinton will be under investigation before she could even win the nomination. The Republicans are salivating for her to win. She's toast. She should just run as McCain's VP.
I don't really have a dog in this race, but I do enjoy politics. It seems that Clinton usually attacks first and then runs and hides behind a pillar until Obama responds. She then runs out again saying, Oh he's so negative. He's attacking.  It's not too different from when my kids pick on each other. I can always count on one to start it and the other one to fall for it.
Only Hillary Clinton would have the stones to criticize Obama for taking lobbyist money when she's in so deep with them, it's not even funny.  Don't look at that woman behind the curtain.
may the best smearer lose...

It's a shame it has to go like this, and Pennsylvania voters must be sick of the whole thing.  It's Hillary who has dragged Barack down to her level.  Pennsylvania voters could put an end to it all by giving Barack a victory.  Too bad for the country and the democratic party if they don't.  McCain is enjoying the free ride.
Wow, she should answer her support for NAFTA and CAFTA.
 
I find it amazing the media is not holding her accountable for anything, but you bet the republicans will in the fall.

They talked about Bosnia for 3 days, bitter for a week or so, and nothing about her on NAFTA or her position on CAFTA.  What a joke!  

If she is the nominee the republicans will rip her to shreds!  And her smart a$$ speech about Obama supporters whining and the kitchen, I am an die hard Obama supporter that will not be assisting in fanning the flames when they rip her!  

She alienates everyone, she has no shame!  

Her ads are lies, she will do anything to win; including preying on that elderly woman who has no idea; even she is being duped.

PA, don't make the same mistake as OH!    
It is not negative to challengte your opponents platform.

Saddle-up, Bill, and Hill.

Obama '08
I think the music from that last add should be the Clinton campaign theme song . . . it will go well with the "comedy of errors" that her campaign has become . . .
Hillary Clinton receives the endorsement of Richard Mellon Scaife of "Right Wing Conspiracy" fame while attacking the activists of moveon.org, which was formed to defend the Clintons during impeachment. Does that bring into question whether we can believe her expressed positions on issues? What in her statements can we believe?
I see that Hillary is still lying to get what she wants.  This is why we went for Obama.  I'm ashamed to be a woman because of her.  I hope some day we can forget about her and have a good woman run for president of the US.
Well for someone who says one thing and means another he is doing good.Obama is giveing us bitter people an escape with his humor. He was in a closed session fundraiser at his buddys house(oil Billionair) and tells how we think , feel and do to the rich ones out there in Ca. He figures I can laugh at them they wont hear it and it might quiet these guys wanting to know why there money isnt buying Pa. Votes.Now he forgets we have tv and internet and papers and radio and all kinds of stuff to keep us in touch,WOW!We have heard Hillary say how she will pay for her insurance plan.We hear her solutions to jobs and other problems we have .We know Obama is not what he would like us to think.A Blue checked shirt doesnt make him one of us. Dad's shirt is red plaid.LOl sorry had to do it.Obama is going to mandate child ins. Good . for how much? How will he inforce it? Will it be same amount per child or family? He has so not ans. so many questions he is to busy playing gotcha with Hillary. Its like: Heres Hillary and down the road a piece is Obama pumping away to catch up.
Actually, this is pretty funny. They're both looking a little silly. I'm sure I'm biased because I'm a Hillary supporter, but seems this should hurt Obama more than it hurts her. She's playing her own game, hard knuckle politics. Obama has based his candidacy on the concept of a new politics that doesn't involve any of this sort of back and forth. Where's the fun it that. HA! Leastways, it's hard for him to sell the unifier image at this point. Which I think in a pluralistic society is a dumb idea anyway. There's just a whole lot of issues that have no unification. Someone who believes in the sanctity of life from conception is just never going to be unified with someone who believes in abortion on demand. It ain't a gonna happen. I think the Clintons just think they're smarter than regular people so we ought to let them be president. I think Obama really does have this sort of neo Marxist idea that if we can create an economic utopia, everyone will become enlightened and progressive thinkers, and people need him to be president. Personally, I don't want to be enlightened. I'll go with the gal who just thinks she the smartest.
Didn't Hillary say something about nuclear exchanges to protect the Middle East.?..Nuclear bombs protect noone, nowhere!!!....She has an end of the world holocaust in mind....No Jews and no Muslims!!!
No wonder she wants universal health care...we'll all be dead....
I Love Senator Obama Ad... Well Done and very qick
Questions about Obama? Bosnia? Colombia? NAFTA? Right.
This is all you need to know about HRC:

The history of dishonesty must end Tuesday.
Umm,  Who started this with the first ad?


As usual...
this is crazy, all this money, but the funny thing is that I thought Obama wanted all of this to stop. Oh wait only when it helps him to get ahead.

Who cares about this stuff. I know Hillary has the experience and leadership to get real solutions for our problems.

GO HILLARY
