do not think Barack Obama has a reasonable chance of winning the presidency. I still think Clinton or Edwards are more realistic candidates. Obama is not electable. He should wait four yrs.. He would not get my vote.

As much flack as Iowa took for not being "representative" of the nation, I submit that Iowa's place in the process is exactly where it should be. You want us going first. You've got a state that is made up of folks that are basically middle-of-the-road, fairly well educated, and somewhat deliberative in their selction process (40% hadn't made up their mind 3 days before the last election). There may be a lack of diversity in terms of color, but we are diverse in the arena of ideas, and I beleive that is more important than color. If diversity in race matters most, then we should all celebrate the Bush administration which has been the most diverse in our nation's history. Anyone prepared to do that? With Super Tuesday, we still will probably end up with Hillary and Rudy, but last night we gave some candidates who will provide real change a shot.

So tired of the disingenuine, pandering, self important politicians who dictate what we should think and believe, Obama, like Bobby Kennedy, connects with the better, more compassionate, and more sane sensibilities of everyday people. That's why he won in Iowa, that's why he'll win In NH and that's why my vote for Hillary will now go the Senator from Illinois.

Better check the statistics on people who've won the Iowa Caucus before you make that statement, Mr. Obama.
Only 4 people who won Iowa went on to win a Presidential election in the same year, and 3 out of the 4 were incumbants.
3 out of the last 4 Presidents LOST The Iowa Caucus in the year they were first elected.
and.....The only first timers to win Iowa and the Presidency in the same year were Jimmy Carter, and George W. Bush.
It aint over, 'til it's over folks.....and this race is just gettin' started!

Obama is far more electible than you think and on the world stage, an African American President would do well. We need him. We need him badly. I hope he picks Joe Biden as a running mate. As for Edwards? He represents the rich as does Hilary. Time for a common decent person who will not bring religion into the whitehouse but fair and equal treatment for all of this country's citizens.

White Democrats in Iowa promote the candidacy of an African-American son of an immigrant, who overcame personal and social adversity to graduate with a law degree from an Ivy League university. In contrast, white Republican "evangelicals" promte the candiacy of a white, Baptist minister who believes the universe was created 6000 years ago. Maybe Edwards does have it right and there are two Americas.

Hows Hillary superior to Obama on experience? Obama has been in an elected office more than Hillary. If shes staking a claim based on her first lady days, she should release her white house records first so that Americans will have an opportunity to judge the contributions she made. If one goes by whats available, she was responsible for healthcare reforms during Clinton I, which continues to be her signature issue even now. She failed to make any difference. She failed miserably. I am not sure what the experience shes claiming.

Keep talking, keep voting, keep demanding change, neither religion nor experence is as important as ability to lead. As long as the majority of Americans vote in a way that selects a new leader for us, one without controvercy from the starting block, I believe the world will respect the leader and us again after 8 years of disappointment, corruption, and isolation.

Wow. A lot of pro-clinton anger on this message board. Give me a break. I don't see how Obama loses in NH. He crushed Hillary among independents in Iowa, and she was materially beat by Edwards among independents as well. Guess who can vote in the NH Dem. Primary? Oh yeah, independents. And as far as throwing up stats about former winners of Iowa, Obama said "if he wins in NH" he will be prez, not just because he won Iowa. So can the stat expert go back and see how many people won both states and lost the nomination? Thanks. Clinton supporters, think about it. If Hillary can only wing among blue, hard-line democrats, how does she win a general election? Especially against someone like McCain who appeals to independents. Independent support = swing states = victory in November. Obama has proven he can deliver and will again next Tuesday. Hillary has proven she does not have broad appeal. It's not over yet for Hillary, but it could be real soon.

When I first started reading this blog a few days ago I was duly impressed with the Clinton organization and how well they clogged the responses with pro Hillary rubbish especially the "experience" line. Exactly what experience are we supposed to revere?
I am a Bill O'Riely right winger from way back but watching Mr. Obama's acceptence speech last night brought tears to my eyes that there is really hope for America. I may not love his policy perspectives but he looks to me to be the kind of statesman that we dearly need in these horribly divided times, whereas Hillary Clinton would be about the worst thing that could happen to America.

If you check the history you will find that some of our best Presidents had very little experience when they took office. JFK comes to mind of the top of my head. Secondly, I think the most important attribute a President can have is wisdom. The wisdom to pick great thinkers not just someone that help them get into office but someone that knows the field in which they are appointed. Secondly, the wisdom to select the right direction once given good options to choose from. Obama has such wisdom.

Obama has a lot more experience than Hillary and Mark Penn would lead you to believe, my friend. He's the first candidate in a long time that people WANT to vote for, as opposed to the candidate they vote for to prevent another one from winning. THat is a big deal that can't be taken away no matter how much badmouthing Hillary and her surrogates do.

From WaPo:
People who complain that Barack Obama lacks experience must be unaware of his legislative achievements. One reason these accomplishments are unfamiliar is that the media have not devoted enough attention to Obama's bills and the effort required to pass them, ignoring impressive, hard evidence of his character and ability.

Michael Zhivago, Lille, France (U.S. Army) — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 19:31:27 GMT

To whom it may concern in Iowa: I DO NOT want you going first. Personally, I am tired of my vote counting for less than yours because candidates drop out of the race before my state's primary is conducted, reducing my choices thanks to someone else's early opportunities. (As of right now, Dodd and Biden have already dropped out.)

In today's world of instant access to information, we do not need months of primaries and caucuses to decide who to vote for when our time comes. Most of the candidates have been running for nearly a year. If you do not know who they are, you probably never will. Just conduct all the primaries in a several week span in one month and hold the conventions in the next month.

If the people care enough about a candidate they will learn about him/her, if they do not he never had a chance, anyway. By the way, I know that this idea would never be adopted but that does not change the fact that I have never been allowed the privilege of voting for who I wanted, except as some sort of write-in protest vote, because they had dropped out by the time it was my chance to have my say. It seems undemocratic to have your franchise restricted by others more fortunate.

Obama is an amazing public speaker, and I think that can be misleading. Just because he can talk doesn't mean he can make balanced political decisions. He can rile up a crowd with calls for change, which everyone wants. But what is he going to do when he wins? Speaches will not get America back on track. He seems to afraid to take a firm stand on any line that may alienate a potential voter. How would he take a firm stand on the world table?

It can't be experience, History shows that experince has nothning to do with being President, ie Abe Lincoln and given peope with experience have screwed things up Bush,and Jimmy Carter. So it must be his color. He has every attribute that any White male has if not better . Top 10 in his class of Harvard.

I will. Bush was able to reach across racial lines to find lap dogs and criminals of every stripe. The name "Alberto" springs to mind.

As a Canadian watching what took place last night it gives me hope that the American public my have finally seen the light. Change is needed in the US. It's incredible to see how the Bush administration has torn apart the American country both at home and it's reputation around the world. Why is Obamas experience even a question? Does not the President of the United States surrond himeself with experienced cabinet people who would help him put forth policies that would direct the country. Clinton is the same old same old and as for the Republicans my fear is as it has been over the last 8 years no domestic policy what so ever more US debt no clean air policies and continued waste of American taxpayers dollars on a war in Iraq that a majority of the American public both Republicans, Democrats,and Independents don't want. Obama needs to stand up to these people and make sure that the American public understands that what he brings to the table is not the same old sameold but true change and hope for the future of the United States.

John from NH... as a fellow NHite.. don't confuse recognition with experience. If you took the time to look, you would see what Obama has done with his life, His 'foundation' is intelligence, good judgment, honesty, integrity. He lives, breathes, taught the constitution. Or is your idea of experience the kind that Bush, Cheney, Nixon and many other politicians have brought to the table? The bottom line for me is what kind of character is brought to the table... first and foremost. That is the mark of a good foundation.

The above are facts but that does not mean that every Iowa caucus event will follow that trend. The headline is also misleading. Obama did not say if he won NH he will win the Presidency. Obama was merely highlighting the momentun that would result in his victory in NH. There are two arguments to this. Had Obama lost Iowa, there are some people who would have written him off. At that point(to support your argument) Obama would have brushed aside that loss and said an Iowa victory by Hillary Or Edwards does not guarantee the Presidency !!

Nothing could be more disasterous for the Democratic Party than nominating Obama, still in his senatorial diapers. And the only thing as disasterous for America as electing another evangelical Christian would be electing a completely inexperienced candidate like Obama. He has done nothing in Washington, not even convening the European Subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which he chairs. I admire his idealism, but platitudes and talk is not what America needs at home, or abroad. Sadly, the other "top tier" candidates have precious little more experience than Senator Obama. The one candidate left in the Democratic pack, the candidate with a proven record of leadership at home, and on the world stage, Bill Richardson, is being marginalized by the media. Because of this the public is largely ignoring his record and accomplishments, as well as his platform and plans. I pray that the people of the Granite State decide to choose substance and experience over money and image which is all Senators Obama, Clinton, and Edwards have. Governor Richardson has not yet raised as much money as the rest, but he has a clear vision, a viable platform, and the experience as a chief executive and a diplomat to reclaim our economy and jobs from NAFTA, get us out of Iraq, help stabilize the Middle East, and reestablish us as a world partner, not world bully. The Republicans of Iowa have shown the country that they are more interested in substance than money. Clearly the Democrats have not done so. So what's more important folks, money and image or ability and experience? Go to Richardson's website. Read his policy statements. Read about his accomplishments. Don't ignore him New Hampshire. You do so at our peril. We will not take back the White House with Barack Obama. It will not happen, and we will be faced with more of the same from the Republican Party for the another four years. Four more years of domination by evangelical Christians, four more years of control by corporate interests, four more years of environmental destruction, four more years of our men and women dying in Iraq (which you will get with Obama as well). Choose wisely New Hampshire. Don't annoint the incapable front runners. Help elect a President; Governor Bill Richardson.

That's my problem with the left, they think anyone who believes in a creator is whack. You attack Huckabee just because he's a minister. I think Huckabee won with Repubs because he's not cut from the current Republican mold. But, because he believe in God and creation, in your eyes he's an idiot and those who voted for him must only care about religion. If you did your homework, you'd realize the Obama didn't win just because of "white" democrats. He won because of independents.

Edwards is right, there are two Americas. There's the America that buys into every feel-good campaign slogan and issue without thinking about the ramification of implementing such a policy (free health care to all, raise taxes, no more carbon pollutants), and there's the America that is analytical and who doesn't buy into the B.S. slogans and tag lines the candidates throw out. Both parties are filled with both kinds of people, but sadly most of America is drifting towards the type that has the attention span of a toddler without his ADD meds and who can analyze an issue past its "feel good" headline.

Is it taking more money from coporate lobbyist than republicans, is it voting to authorize war in Iraq without reading the national intelligence report, is it voting to give Bush and his NeoCons the power to authorize war in Iran, is it not realizing that elections in Pakistan is parliamentary not Presidental, is it to nominate Bill Clinton to be a Supreme Court Justice.

have seen Obama get a free pass through out this process but I looked at Meet the Press on Nov 11, 2007 when Obama was asked this question from Tim.

MR. RUSSERT: You talked about Senator Clinton having records released from the Clinton Library regarding her experience as first lady, and yet when you were asked about, “What about eight years in the state senate of Illinois,” you said, “I don’t know.” Where, where are the—where are your records?

SEN. OBAMA: Tim, we did not keep those records. I...

MR. RUSSERT: Are they gone?

(NOTICE OBAMA WILL NOT TELL US WHERE ARE HIS RECORDS IN HIS NEXT RESPONSE)

SEN. OBAMA: Well, let’s be clear. In the state senate, every single piece of information, every document related to state government was kept by the state of Illinois and has been disclosed and is available and has been gone through with a fine-toothed comb by news outlets in Illinois. The, the stuff that I did not keep has to do with, for example, my schedule. I didn’t have a schedule. I was a state senator. I wasn’t intending to have the Barack Obama State Senate Library. I didn’t have 50 or 500 people to, to help me archive these issues. So...

MR. RUSSERT: But your meetings with lobbyists and so forth, there’s no record of that?

SEN. OBAMA: I did not have a scheduler, but, as I said, every document related to my interactions with government is available right now. And, as I said, news outlets have already looked at them.

MR. RUSSERT: Is your schedule available anywhere? Are—the records exist?

SEN. OBAMA: I—Tim, I kept my own schedule. I didn’t have a scheduler.

MR. RUSSERT: Senator Durbin, your colleague, publishes his schedule each day. Would you do that?

SEN. OBAMA: Well, you know, these days I have a public presidential schedule that I think everybody has access to.

Obama you have said that Hillary has not been truthful, but if you talk about change, let us talk about change. Where IS YOUR PAPER TRAIL OF MEETINGS WITH YOU LOBBY FRIENDS. DID YOU LOSE THEM OF DESTORY THEM?

I AND MANY AMERICANS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE 1.5 ,MILLION OF THOSE DOLLARS CAME FROM WHILE YOU WHERE A STATE SENATOR. WILL YOU TELL US MAN, NOT THE STATE SENATE DOCUMENTS, LOBBY DOCUMENTS BUDDY.

We need a leader that is not scared to fight for what has made this country great - diversity. A president that believes in inclusion and not exclusion. Where the color of a man's skin is no longer a threat, but merely represents a different point of veiw. Mr. Obama has vision, a plan that includes all americans. PEOPLE THIS IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE NATION, Mr. Obama can bring us together to rekindle the spirit this country has loss.

Also, I get tired of dems and the media who try to paint Repubs as all white and racist when a black democrat doesn't get elected. Take Harold Ford, Jr. for example. He doesn't win Tennessee and some in the media said, "Well I guess Tennessee is just not ready to elect a black man afterall." That is B.S. How come when it's a black candidate who is a democrat that loses, the voters must have been racist, but when it's a black Republican who loses--like Michael Steele--there isn't one mention that the people of Maryland aren't ready for a black senator. It becomes, "well the people just didn't like his positions." It's a double standard and I get tired of it. If J.C Watts were running right now, I think he would do quite well in this field of Repubs. I hope he does run someday. I like the guy and I would relish in the chance to throw the same mud back at the dems and label them racist for not voting for him.

While it is definitely useful to be comparing this election cycle to those of the past in seeing how useful an Iowa win is for a presidential candidate, I don't think you can accurately make the same comparison to this year's. Regardless of how many former candidates lost Iowa and went on to clench the nomination and/or president, no candidate in history had the kind of name recognition or solid leads that Hillary Clinton had going into this. Whether it was her own campaign or the media that put so much pressure on her to win and win big doesn't matter - her loss last night can't be explained away by "that quirky Iowa process" or her campaign's "inexperience on the Iowa field."

I think it represents a very important shift in what the Democratic electorate is looking for. Keep in mind we (Democrats) have been watching and listening for quite some time, and last night in Iowa was our first opportunity to speak our minds - and look at the result. I'm a Clinton supporter but dont think that I haven't thought twice about what my peers might be thinking.

Change is imminent and you can bet your bottom dollar that momentum will flow into New Hampshire. If Obama wins NH and it's convincing, no amount of money or network will change Democrats' minds at that point.

I lean toward the conservative side of things and am inclined to vote Republican. I am, however, impressed by Obama. Although I don't think he has enough experience, we currently have a president who lacked both smarts AND experience when he took office. And, to suggest that he has more experience than the conniving, power-obsessed Hillary Clinton (whose experience consists of a few years in the Senate, sitting in meetings with her corrupt husband and his cronies, and concocting failed socialized healthcare plans) is ridiculous. If Obama does nothing more than knock the Clintons into oblivion, he's my candidate.

The best choice for America, however, is John McCain, who has the experience and is an American hero.

Thanks for the stats J. Merle, I thought that was the case but could not find it yet. Stephen of Southfield your view is silly. Someone out there is saying that white democrats (I guess you think there are no people of color in Iowa)still are not ready to back a woman who overcame personal adversity to graduate with a law degree from an Ivy league university. And republicans vote for good wholesome values in politics. I am joking about the last part, Huck has no integrity. But lets be real. Every one has adversity to claim and everyone interprets primary outcomes their own way. Obama did not overcome anything to go Ivy league, he just had rich relatives. And affirmative action quotas are not social adversity unless you are white. Harold America never stopped being a world leader. It led when the world wanted to continue doing nothing, and the world did not like being left behind. When has the UN done anything but give lofty speeches while people die by tens of thousands. They are doing such a great job in Darfur. Some people wring their hands and say somebody should do something while others take action. To bad the hand wringers are always standing by to say I would have done it differently.

If Obama wins New Hampshire, Nevada and North Carolina then Hilary's Party is over because it will be extremely hard for her to bounce back.

Hillary will win NH if the independant minded Republicans are kept away from voting as democrats. They vote democrat but nationally they are different from real Republicans in south and midwest.

The point is how much McCain is a factor in NH. He will determine if Hillary wins or Obama wins.

WHY single out "Christians?" — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 20:12:37 GMT

Daniel Alpern

THAT SOUNDS GREAT! OBAMA/BIDEN
I have been saddened that Biden dropped out of the race, and I believe Obama is wise enough to choose an excellent cabinet. WOW! Choosing Biden as running mate would seal the deal!

Just keep praying protection around Obama (if ya's do such a thing) that some nut doesn't take him out.

Stephen Hnat--
sorry to inform you, but "Christians" voted for Obama, also. NOT ONLY THAT, but Obama claims his is "Christian." sorry to bust your bubble.
"Christians" are NOT stupid. "Kill the Christians" ended a lonnng time ago. "Christians" are not bad people, no more than any other group. WHY single out "Christians" ??? It wasn't "Christians" alone who voted for Huckabee. So, since some "Christians" voted Obama, and some "Christians" Didn't vote for Huckabee, where is the reasoning to single out "Christians." Even Mr Edwards is a "Christian."

I sincerely hope that NH voters, like IA voters, will recognize the difference between experience and ability. Any of the current candidates can probably manage the presidency better that Bush, but only one of them is truly gifted. I think it should be evident, so far, to anyone paying attention, that Obama is transcending barriers right and left. Sex, race, age, political affiliation, none of it seems to intimidate him. No matter if he were 10 years younger or 10 years older, circumstances have brought him to this moment in time and we are ready for someone to move us. Come on NH. Let's see what he can really do.

I am sorry to hear that "experience" is such an important factor in some people's decision-making process. Our current President has a very prestigious resume and lots of "experience", but the vast majority of the American people now feel that he is a terrible leader. I think caution is advisable when considering a potential leader's "experience" as it is not necissarily a predictor for extraordinary leadership ability. I, for one, favor a candidate that does not have "experience" selling out to the highest bidder. This, above all, seems to be the nature of Hillary's "experience."

Change is all you will have left of your paychecks if any of the 3 Democrats win the WH. All the social spending they have in mind will leave you needing all those new services that they are putting together. Your paycheck, no matter how much you make will be taxed to near nothing.

Take your life in your hands and belive in yourself not some pandering politician. Its your life, find your own health care, get educated and get a better job and invest in your own retirement so there is something there.

If you are a baby and need a sitter than go cry to a politician and say what are you going to do for me? That is exactly where they wqant you, dependent on government.

Hillary will not die yet as the villian is not killed till the end of the movie, but she is glad to be out of the cornfields, she always hated that environment. She is not the Senator from Arkansas for nothing.

Congratulations to the 17-30 year olds out there that played a part in making this happen. As your movement picks up steam, keep this in mind about the boomers: Some are proud to see you lead, some still need convincing that you're ready, and with some you may just need to pry the leadership from their "cold dead hands," so to speak. But not to worry. They may not yet have all the hope boiled out of them. You're hitched to a star. Now reach out and bring somebody along.

I'm tired of people saying Obama is not electable (1st poster). The caucus attendance was at an all time high, and Obama brought in Independants and Republicans to vote for him. In a state that is 96% white (according to MSNBC) that has voted for Obama, how can you argue that he is unelectable? If he wins NH, it will be extremely tough for Hillary to stage a comeback.

I really don't feel that becoming president can come with any certain criteria I think what is needed is someone who can relate to the common man and not just say what is needed but can come up with the solution to the problem. Obama is doing this he has talked about many solutions with advisors and has come up with realistic goals he can reach. He was against the war in 2002 it doesnt take a rocket scientist to see what Bush was up to. Just Look at our country its going backwards and I really dont think that we can do any worse than Bush who was put in office twice something is wrong here. Change is needed.Go Obama. Go.

I believe that Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States. Thank goodness for a candidate who appears to support the average American working class citizen and who refuses to be bought out by corporate America. These are the special interest groups whose only concern is to continue to monopolize the administration in Washington much in the same way they have controlled the Bush White House for the past 8 years! May God bless Barack Obama as he attempts to lead this nation into a new direction! I believe that Barack Obama is the candidate who is the most capable of uniting our nation so that Americans can once again enjoy looking to the future with a special confidence. I believe that with Barack Obama as our president, we as a nation will once again be able to exercise faith in our government, believing that our leaders will finally represent all of the people and not just the special interest of the few wealthiest in our land. With President Obama in the White house, I can’t help but believe that every US citizen will once again be able to look to the future with a hope and confidence that tomorrow will be a better day!

Bush twice and we've all felt the consequences of an "experienced" president. I'm ready for change and I think Obama is the best chance this country has at turning its fortune around and becoming admired again in the world's eye. OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT '08!

If Mrs. Hillary Clinton talks bout 35 years of making changes, she's in BIG trouble because that would be a dismal record of having changed anything..
Where was she when 9/11 happened? Why did she vote to start the war in Iraq? She talks about being ready from day 1. But what if that's her perception and not the peoples? She talks about being able to defuse the Republican attack machinery-sure she would be great at that!! But who cares to have another arrogant "know it all-done it all", cynical, "politics as usual",person as President? Another dynasty-Democrat, but part of the potical machinery?? I have no doubt in Hillary Clinton's intellectual ability-what she lacks is creativity and humility and courage to think and act differently.

nadeem, Canada — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 21:01:53 GMT

What sets Barak Hussain Obama apart is is self awareness. His middle made, the one that generated so mush controversy typifies his self awareness.

While many jews and muslims have run away from names that identify themselves as such Obama has not. He never used his nickname "Barry", but is comfortable with who and what he is. He never ran away from his blackness either, like many black men and women who try to enter mainstream society by rejecting their black heritage Obama did not. he is very honestly a mixed race christian with a white mother from kansas and an african father from kenya with a paternal muslim grandfather. It accepts these facts as ones that make him a richer person. He does not use any of these facts as excuses as to why he loses are reason for why he wins.

He is authentic and real. In the end this is what is missing most from politics. The fact that we think we are voting for one thing and get something completely different.

We vote for a uniter and get a divider

We vote for a person who understands our pain, and then gives pain to his wife, a intern and the nation with his behavior

We vote for change and get the same old washington insider

We now have some who is genuine, someone who has never ran away from who he is, or pretended to be something different. He will not bake cookies at the dem convention, just to get people to like him.

He won't court the youth vote, because not having it was his downfall in iowa. He courts it because he wants them part of the democratic process.

His authenticity is what allows him to combine black america and white america red america and blue america, the north and the south into one america - healed and repaired. One that does not run away from its history, but one that is richer for it.

I moved from Des Moines in the 60's to go to college in California and now I live in Denver. I truly hope that when Obama comes to Denver for the convention he is the nomiee and is victorious.
It gives me chills to think of it. This would be truly a paridime shift in american politics.
I do have one worry that is the threat of assaination I have seen to many promising leaders gunned down. Please please keep this young man safe. I want them to put as many seceret service agents as possible around him.
Mr. Obama has given me the hope that America is ready for him to become the new Commander in Chief not because he is an African American but because he is the best that this great nation has nurtured.

Mike Frazier — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 21:10:02 GMT

There's no question that Obama is the best candidate; but Hillary is the best president.

Obama is the most inspiring candidate on either side of the divide. He marvelously articulates the greatest goals for America. But it isn't enough to articulate great goals; you must also have a plan for realizing them. This is where Obama falls short.

Clinton is not a great candidate. She doesn't inspire. You don't want to take her home with you. She is all business. But she will make a great president.

Electing a president should not be a personality contest. It should be about the best person for the job.

Obama is a fresh choice for change. He has more political experience than Hillary who hadn't even been a NY resident prior to running for the Senate there. More than that, Obama exudes so much hope and excitement for what America could be; Clinton just seems angry and determined to win this thing because it's her right.

Enough with political families. It's time for something new.

I really hope Obama makes it to the general election.

I agree with some of the previous writers’ comment about ability vs. experience.

I truly feel that is the kind of leadership necessary to move America back to their rightful place in the world.

I count myself lucky to have been allowed to participate in history as it was made last night here in Iowa.

There are a few inheirant problems with Clinton's claim to change. She voted for the war in Iraq and a good part of the experience she is claiming includes her role as first lady to Bill as governor and as president. Beacuse of these things she will always be linked to the politics of the past. And every time Bill campaigns for her she reminds voters that he will be back in the White House and she reminds voters of the divisions that existed while he was in office.
