Actually Clark, it is clear who started the attacks. It is when Clinton called Obama "naive".

So, she knows how to end the war, yet she won't even admit her vote was a mistake. She knows how to avert war with Iran, yet her vote recently on Iran gave Bush and Cheney an excuse to go after Iran, and call it bipartisan no less.

You know what Hillary, you and all your goons (Vilsack, Clark, Penn, and even Bill) can quit lying to us. Just be honest, you really don't have a positive record of accomplishing anything.

I'm a huge admirer of General Clark, but I believe that his endorsement of the Hillary and defense of her mud slinging fellow democrats is unwise.
Clark made the first mistake in skipping Iowa in 2004, he's making another one now in supporting Clinton on her "fun trip" of negative, false unsubstantiated, attacks on fellow democrats.

We all knew all along that when the going gets tough, Hillary would go negative, so we're not altogether surprised and that's how we also know that she cannot win a general election.

Hilary and her campaign needs to stop whining about being attacked. I believe that her whining about the "guys piling up" on her cost her some votes, now she has Clark still talking about being attacked. She's out there attacking obama, should he have a surrogate make a video about being attacked by Hilary? Give me a break. Women, if you're so strong, quite complaining about being attacked.

I used to like Bill and Hilary and I would have loved for them to be back to running this government again. But the more I see and hear them, I'm really turned off. I could never support her now. I don't like what I see, read or hear from or about them. Not anymore!

Methinks that the general and many of the Dem establishment are showing a political tin ear and that's why they consistently snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Hillary is losing in Iowa and elsewhere for a reason; she doesn't represent change. Clark lost in 2004. Endorsing a sinking ship like Hillary isn't going to help his political street cred.

As a former huge supporter of General Clark for President and also for Vice President under Kerry, I am disappointed he made the decision prematurely to endorse Hillary over Barack. Had he waited another month he would have realized he wasted his endorsement with a loser in Hillary.
As a democrat though, I do admit that Gen. Clark would be an excellent choice for Hillary's VP for many reasons. However, I can't help but think that is the reason Hillary promised you a position in return for your premature endorsement.
Get with it Wes - Obama is the one who will Unite America! You would serve well in the Obama administration too. At least he Will win in Nov. 08

"... he says in ad. "That’s politics. What this country needs is leadership""
Regardless of who is attacking who or who started attacking (as the word attack is rather ambiguous). Clinton, according to her surrogate failed to show leadership by attacking back in kind or worse. "That's politics."

I'm not saying attack politics: drawing policy distinctions and mudslinging is specific to her. But why is she surrounding herself with people who make such silly statements and people who undermine her credibility.

Clinton did much better speaking for herself than through surrogates.

CLINTON SLEAZE WILL INVIGORATE GOP, DISPIRIT DEMOCRATS AND SINK DEMOCRATIC TICKET
.
It is possible that Senator Clinton is the best candidate. However, even though many may like the policies that Senator Clinton proposes, they should also consider her record, just as Senator Clinton insists.
.
The last Clinton Administration, when faced with the fact that protection rackets where assaulting, torturing and murdering people with poison and radiation, chose to avoid its responsibilities to incarcerate the criminals and to protect the citizenry.
.
Instead, they made a deal with the criminal gang stalker protection rackets to leave them alone and to consequently abandon the citizenry.
.
Do we want a President who sells out the citizenry for votes?
.
Do we want a President who sends a \"crime does pay\" message to society?
.
Would you vote for a President who signed nonaggression deals with the KKKlan or the Nazi party? Gangs that torture with poison and radiation are much like the KKKlan and Nazi Party.
.
We do not need a sellout President. We need a principled leader President.
.
If you are one of the few who do not know what the above refers to, do a web search for “gang stalking” to see the tip of the dirtberg. Please do it before you decide to reply to my post. Here let me make it easy for you: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22gang+stalking%22.

Hilary stayed above the fray until the attacks from her opponents moved her to respond.
Because of her
.experience (30+ years in public service is an awful lot of experince to empower her to lead this nation)
.resolute focus on what needs to be done to make us a great nation again ( offering prudent solutions for mortgage crisis, health care, education, environment crisis, economy, stem cell research etc etc)
.forgiving attitude (she did what is right by saving her marriage)
Hillary is going to be president. It will be good for America.

And just think yesterday Clinton's campaign was complaining about rude push-polls and calling on Senator Obama to stop it, but when a reporter asked her chief strategist Mark Penn whether he had any proof of any one of the campaigns being behind it, he said "No." Get with it Wes, Senator Clinton is the one deserving of your complaints, not Senator Obama

I am so glad to see people pointing out that she was the one who actually started this nastiness. She is the one who is perpetuating it, while he responds. It was all of that "naive" nonsense that changed this campaign. Which was very strange, because it was also the beginning of her downward slide.

Jack, Greenville, SC

The problem isn't the open criticism, the problem is the sleazy dirty campaigning that Hillary's campaign has been engaged in for the last 9 months.

For everything that is publicly disclosed you can assure yourself that is not even the tip of what they are doing.

Getting caught planting the question, and her other tactics have hurt her in Iowa, and I don't see her stopping the slide. She can bring in a 1,000 more paid staff, and in the end 70% of Iowa caucus goers are looking for someone other than Hillary.

You have no clue what you are talking about. Is it ok to lie about Senator Biden to have your staff tell 04 caucus goers who say they are leaning towards him, that polls show Americans won't elect a candidate in his 70's. and then when the person asks how old Biden is they are told any where from a low of 71 to a high of 77. Biden just turned 65, and is less than 5 years older than Hillary.

Or is it ok for one of your high level staff members to tell people leaning Richardson that he has a real women problem, and a closet full of skeletons, that would sink him in a general election.

Or that Obama's race prevents him from winning a general. Even if you think that may be true, is that right for their campaign to tell 04 caucus voters when calling undecided Democrats?

Or that Edwards should have dropped out and taken care of Elizabeth.

If you think this is Ok then you have no problem with Hillary's tactics. I think it is inexcusable!

We are all adults and we are all entitled to take sides in the nomination process.

Hillary Clinton chose to attack Barack Obama by mocking his kindergarten dream to be president one day. Mrs. Clinton managed to insult every voter all at once. Because who among us didn't have childhood dreams? Whether to be an astronaut, teacher, or even president of the United States the chance to realize our dreams is something that defines America. Mrs. Clinton, who previously insulted just all male voters when she played the "victim" of a debate pile-on by the male candidates, is proving to be a poor campaigner who is ultimately unelectable.

Ben Smith of the Politico has disclosed that those nasty smear emails regarding Obama as a muslim plant is from the Hillary clinton campaign. this is huge and needs to be exposed to voters

've obtained a copy of the email sent to Jones County, Iowa Democratic Chairman Gary Hart, by a Clinton volunteer.

[UPDATE: A Clinton staffer who also received the email responded instantly by denouncing it, but didn't forward it to campaign-higher ups, a copy of his email indicates.]

It's one of a couple Obama-Muslim-smear emails circulating widely, and one of the ones Jonathan Martin and I wrote about in October. It's probably the most vicious of them: It states the underlying hint -- that Obama is some sort of Muslim Manchurian candidate -- explicitly.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the U.S. from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States , one of their own!!!!

The email was sent by someone identified only as "Judy" whose email address begins jcheroke. The Clinton campaign has said they are now asking a volunteer county coordinator to leave the campaign when the email came to light.

But the email thread indicates that along with Hart, a Clinton staffer named Ryan Callanan received the email back on November 21. Filings confirm that Callanan is a staffer, though I wasn't able immediately to confirm his role on the Clinton campaign, and he didn't respond to an email.

To be clear, he was a recipient of the email, like Hart, not the sender; there's no evidence he forwarded it to others on the campaign, or even read it, though I'm asking those questions.

The email, with the people's email addresses and the names of other recipients removed (by me) is below.

UPDATE: The Clinton campaign forwards Callanan's immediate response to the email which, though he didn't pass it on to the campaign, reflected his disgust at it:

From: Ryan Callanan
Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 9:49 AM
To: 'Judy'
Subject: RE: Meet Barack Obama]

I’ve gotten this forward before. It’s racist and ignorant. I can’t believe that people believe this stuff.

Ryan

UPDATE: The email address for the sender is associated online with the name "Judy Rose," and there's a Judy Rose as one of 250 members of Clinton's Iowa Women's Leadership Council.

Hey, Hillary staffers - please pass this message along to her. I never thought it would come to this; I fully expected to vote Dem in '08 regardless of the nominee. But the way Hillary and her campaign have acted lately, I might not vote for her if she gets the nomination. My current image of her is as a cat with its claws out, hissing even at her own kind because she isn't getting what she wants. It seems now as if she is much more focused on gaining power for herself than in furthering Democratic ideals and making the country a better place. Gone is the talk about her positions on issues; all we hear now is her putting down her own colleagues, who by the way share many of her positions on the issues. I won't be at all surprised on Jan. 3 when the non-viable candidates' supporters step over to the Obama or Edwards camp, and at least one of them tops Hillary.

If you think about that seriously, not only is it ridiculous (presidents can't solve problems without the support of Congress, etc.); think about what Day One is. It's Inauguration Day.

POLpursun — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 05:50:38 GMT

Re Sen. Clinton and strength and experience, first a question: What does "strength" mean in this context? It must be something very obscure and esoteric as it is difficult to perceive that "strength" is a differentiator of any significance for anyone in the process. Indeed, it's not brawn that's needed here, it's brains and wisdom. It's precisely the brawn and arrogance that needs to be held in check.

Then there is this claim of experience as a plus. Quite frankly, that the Clinton campaign could gain such traction from this insistence on the value of her experience is bemusing. Pray tell, what use is experience if it results in the kind of judgement displayed by Sen. Clinton re the Iraq fiasco and the fear mongering and jingoism re Iran? The crass political calculation is patently obvious and just continues unabated. Nothing, no NOTHING, is to impede her path to the Oval Office. This would be change of party but, at core, more of the same.

I think Obama and Edwards both attacked Hillary at the debates which began these attacks. That said, I am pleased that General Clark is endorsing Hillary. For sometime I didn't know who I would support. I like Joe Biden, but I don't think he has a chance and I think he will continue to be an asset to the people with his chairmanship on the Foreign Relations committee. General Clark would make a good VP, but he would make a better Sec of Defense...that is more important, especially with conflicts overseas.

Vicky — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 09:42:23 GMT

There are only 2 FULLY QUALIFIED candidates on the Democratic ticket, and those 2 are Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.

I'd LOVE to see Joe get the nomination, but I'm afraid he isn't really being heard by the people during the debates because the focus is always on Clinton, Obama, and Edwards... period.

He has yet to "attack" any of the candidates during the debates, staying focused on the situation in DC, the problems with the direction our government has taken, and the steps needed to actually make a change.

I don't think the media has given him enough coverage or credit either for where he stands or his experience, and I also don't think he has enough money to compete with the top 3. I'd really like to see a Clinton/Biden or Biden/Clinton combination come Nov.

And as for all the paranoid, chauvinistic and ignorant comments above... STOP... LOOK... AND LISTEN... do it with you eyes and ears open not closed! Maybe you'll actually learn something about the candidates, government, and what will or will not help solve the crisis our governement is in because of BUSH/CHENEY and ALL the morons who rubberstamp their bullshit.

To fix this mess, we NEED knowledge and experience!!!

Hillary is the only candidate, republican or Democrat, that has worked on health care for close to 20 yrs. Something needs to be done on this issue and she would be the one to get it done. My vote has to go with the one who will do something for America - not building hospitals, schools, roads/bridges, or infra-structure somewhere else rather than here in the U.S. I'm tired of paying taxes to prop up foreign countries or to make bombs to destroy this world.

I have been and will remain a great supporter of Wes Clark and think he would be an excellent choice for vice president. as for who attacks and who doesn't I have said before that Edwards Obama started the attacks at the Philly debate. As for Clinton mentioning Obama's presidential ambitions while in kindergarten; Obama opened the door on this when he said he gained foreign policy experience while living in a foreign country between the ages of six to ten. Barak is an extremely accomplished speaker and is a highly intelligent person but beyond that we know little about him.

Well Retired Gen. Wes Clark,is the least likely person to call someone out, does he not remember that HRC was the one whom threw the first stone when it came to attacking candidates with the inexperience and naive statements, how soon we forget
when it is convenient for you.

Now everyday HRC comes out and says the nastiest things she can think of to say about Obama and none of it is true.

I know he`s old and maybe he has forgotten that HRC threw the first stone when the campaign really got started.
So I have to say this guy is no more trust worthy than HRC is and we all know that you can`t trust HRC
to tell the truth about anything.

GO OBAMA 08'

WAKE UP AMERICA HRC IS TRYING TO PUSH YOU INTO THE clinton dynasty circle.

No more Bush/Clinton dynasty in the whit house.
Let us get the new and innovative chnages that America needs to get us out of the mess the Bush/Clinton has left us with, they have done far too much damage and now is the time to stop it.

a vote for HRC is a vote for the republican,
and HRC knows this better than any of us.

Best ticket:
Obama/Edwards 08'
Edwars/Obama 08'

POLpursun — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 16:08:34 GMT

A chronology extracted from the web:

(i)July 24, 2007

Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., said today that Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, her chief rival for the Democratic nomination, made comments that were "irresponsible and frankly naive" when he said in Monday night's debate that he would meet with leaders of rogue nations during his first year in office.
Clinton's response, made in an interview with an Iowa newspaper, marks the sharpest exchange to date between the top two Democratic candidates for president — and the first time Clinton has explicitly attacked another Democratic candidate.

(ii)Asked by a reporter whether it's Hillary attack Obama -- and not vice versa -- Clark replied that he attended the October 30 debate in Philadelphia, and that is when Obama began attacking Clinton. "It is clear who started the attacks and why."

Given the above, it IS, isn't it? ----- clarity re attack initiation, that is.

Also, between these two dates, I recall incessant comments/queries from the media, en masse, re Obama's "reluctance to engage" ----- did he have the so-called fire in the belly, the stomach for what needed to be done. His seeming distaste for mud slinging appeared to be fodder for the can-he-handle-this speculation. Sen. Clinton, the "real deal" of the Democratic establishment, was mopping up the black vote.

Reminds me of the quip: Heads I win; tails you lose.

Clark wants to be vice president, to a lady who stole the whitehouse furniture, while her perverted husband was pardoning hundreds of terrosists and crooks and drug dealers. As a Army man you would think he would run from the clintons over that, not to mention she supports KOS who bereats our soldiers and Generals. Clark is so dumb because our next president Mike Huckabee is from Arkansas not like Hillary who called the people of Arkansas hicks when she first came to arkansas, so dont try to sell us any bull on the Clintons Wesley.

Rufus and Delores you are both misinformed.
Barack graduated magna cum laude in college. He taught constitutional law for about 10 years. He gave up a prestigious career opportunity to work as a community organizer for $12000/yr(gave up hundreds of job offers from corp America). Barack Obama himself wrote 2 bestselling books(DREAMS OF MY FATHER & AUDACITY OF HOPE(named after a talk by his pastor at his church).
J Kerry requested that he speak at the Dem convention in 2004. He won more votes than J Kerry in his state of Illinois. He was elected with 70% of the vote for US senate in 2004.

"As a state legislator, Obama worked with both Democrats and Republicans in drafting successful legislation on ethics and health care reform. He sponsored a law enhancing tax credits for low-income workers, negotiated welfare reform, and promoted increased subsidies for child care. Obama also led the passage of legislation mandating videotaping of homicide interrogations, and a law to monitor racial profiling by requiring police to record the race of drivers they stopped. During his 2004 general election campaign for U.S. Senate, Obama won the endorsement of the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police, whose president credited him with having been "immensely helpful in working with police organizations" on death penalty reform."
While in the US Senate Obama has passed Lugar-Obama, a bill that expands the Nunn-Lugar cooperative threat reduction concept to conventional weapons, including shoulder-fired missiles and anti-personnel mines. He has also passed the "Coburn-Obama Transparency Act" provides for a web site, managed by the Office of Management and Budget, listing all organizations receiving Federal funds from 2007 onward, and providing breakdowns by the agency allocating the funds, the dollar amount given, and the purpose of the grant or contract. In addition to those two he has also gotten through the "Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act," which had his name on it as the first sponsor.

He also worked with Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) in strengthening restrictions on travel in corporate jets to S.1, the Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act of 2007. And then Obama sponsored with Kit Bond (R-MO) an amendment to the 2008 Defense Authorization Act adding safeguards for personality disorder military discharges, and calling for a review by the Government Accounting Office following reports that the procedure had been used inappropriately to reduce government costs. He sponsored the "Iran Sanctions Enabling Act" supporting divestment of state pension funds from Iran's oil and gas industry, and joined Chuck Hagel (R-NE) in introducing legislation to prevent nuclear terrorism. He also sponsored a Senate amendment to the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to provide one year of job protection for family members caring for soldiers with combat-related injuries.

"I sit on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee," he said. "So I have frequent interaction with world leaders who come to visit here, and I take trips on various fact-finding missions, whether it's to Iraq or Russia or Africa. But you know, probably, the strongest experience I have in foreign relations is the fact that I spent four years living overseas when I was a child in Southeast Asia."
"A lot of my knowledge about foreign affairs isn't just what I studied in school -- I studied international relations when I was in college -- it's not just the work I do on the Senate foreign relations committee.

Barack Obama is on the following commitees in the US senate:

Senate Foreign Relations Commitee
Senate Commitee on Veterans' Affairs
Senate Commitee on Health, Education, Labor, Pensions
Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs

Obama is so Naive! He said he best foreign policy experience is when he lived in indonesia from ages 6-10. That's his Foreign Policy experience? Obama has been trying to falsely prove himself for some time now attacking Hillary. Did you watch the debates? He attacked her view on Iran when she is CORRECT. Go Hillary for President and Go Wesley Clark as her running mate!

I've looked at both the Clinton and Obama adverts, also the new Edwards one (not as well made as the other two). Obama scores highest I think, just because he is so moving a speaker, even in this one minute segment. Clinton has the General talking for her. Presumably there is some strategic reason for that, which is lost on me.
