From NBC's Mark MurrayOn the eve of tomorrow's Democratic AFL-CIO forum (moderated by MSNBC's Keith Olbermann), the Clinton campaign has released another memo touting her standing in the&amp;nbsp;recent national polls.

I think Hillary will bring lots of change, starting with the drapes in the East Wing. The reason she is up in the polls is because she is Bush Lite. The corporate wealthy are not going to allow anyone in the White House who will attempt to stop lobbying and tear down the pretty little playhouse Bush built for them. Hillary will probably win, because she's the Democrat's establishment candidate. Edwards and Obama would be equivalent to a non-violent revolution, assuming the Repubs didn't start a war over it like the Dems should have done in 2000.</description></item><item><title>Clinton campaign touts poll standing</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/08/06/305724.aspx#305787</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Aug 2007 19:03:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:305787</guid><dc:creator>Steve Louisville ky</dc:creator><description>Will Hillary comment on her husband signing of &amp;nbsp;NAFTA, Its time for this agreement to go.

It was polled awhile back that the majority of the people that were on her side were uneducated females. They are simply voting that way because she's a woman, not because she know's how to run a country. If you elect her you will have the same politically corrupt, big business ran White House that there has been since Bush took over. She is trying to act tough about the war because that's what she think's the American people want, not because that's who she is. If she get's in there it will be all about her and not about what she should be doing. Just call Bill the Puppet Master because he will be in the back pullin the string's. Having her in the lead just proves that the majority of the American public still haven't got a clue and just want someone to stand up there and tell them what they want to hear.</description></item><item><title>Clinton campaign touts poll standing</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/08/06/305724.aspx#305920</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Aug 2007 20:12:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:305920</guid><dc:creator>sonya, atlanta, ga</dc:creator><description>the national polls don't matter. &amp;nbsp;It's the primaries, stupid.

They love her because she comes across as a presidential woman. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I readily concede that Hillary sounds and looks presidential. &amp;nbsp;She is well composed, intelligent, and she communicates well. &amp;nbsp;That doesn't mean that she makes good decisions. &amp;nbsp;Being well composed, intelligent, and a good communicator is not enough to be president. &amp;nbsp;A president has to make good decisions and I don't see Hillary making decisions that I want as a president. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am firm believer that a woman can do just as good of a job as a man, if not better. &amp;nbsp;On the same token, I believe that a woman can do just as bad of job, if not worst, as a man. &amp;nbsp;Hillary's decision making on the most important issue in our lifetime was just as bad as Dick Cheney's.</description></item><item><title>Clinton campaign touts poll standing</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/08/06/305724.aspx#306062</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Aug 2007 21:34:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:306062</guid><dc:creator>Juanito, Washington, DC</dc:creator><description>Obama is leading Hillary in Iowa and South Carolina, and he is tied with Hillary in New Hampshire.

They made a resonable judgement call based on what they were told was a serious threat. At that time no one had reason to beleive that they were a pack of scathing liars. I do not feel she or Edwards were wrong in voting for the war, they acted in the interest of protecting the American people. I commend and forgive them for that. Since we have realized this was a mistake they have both done the right thing and advocated against the war. They both have fine judgement. Obama on the other had was not around to vote for the war. He is so inexperienced in the federal level that he was not elected until after the war. And this is someone we want to run our country. Some one who has yet to complete a single term in the senate? Come one Democrats, this is what the Republicans are waiting for us to do. WAKE UP! Obama is not the answer. In 2016, maybe, but he needs to grow up a bit first.</description></item><item><title>Clinton campaign touts poll standing</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/08/06/305724.aspx#306262</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Aug 2007 00:24:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:306262</guid><dc:creator>Ann, Tennessee</dc:creator><description>Experience (Biden, Clinton, Edwards), fear and not reading the NIE got us the Iraq war.

Things will not improve under a Hillary Presidency, the Republicans hate her too much and the country will remain polarized.</description></item><item><title>Clinton campaign touts poll standing</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/08/06/305724.aspx#308735</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Aug 2007 12:21:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:308735</guid><dc:creator>H P Boston</dc:creator><description>Matt Jones..Good post, glad to hear the war vote mantra is bypassed by a person who can think clearly.&lt;br&gt;Some people want that mantra to stick but it is just slime politics when what we need is to go forward and save our system of government.&lt;br&gt;We are in danger from the present admin..did you know that bush passed and executive order in July:&lt;br&gt;He has just about repeled the fifth amendment&lt;br&gt;H e has authorized the Tresury Dept. to seize any and all property belonging to individuals who&amp;quot;pose a signigicant risk&amp;quot; of committing violent acts that&lt;br&gt;undermine the &amp;quot;PEACE OR STABILITY&amp;quot; of IRAQ.
