Did anyone catch Chris Matthews on Morning Joe this morning? It is his belief that the Democratic machine is going to pull all the stops after NH. The establishment will do whatever it takes to stay in power, which means hammering and hammering at Barack Obama.

Yet all the while Barack stands on the stage - alone - connecting with a country that is fed up with political machines.

I thought Chris Matthews nailed it last Thursday evening when it was obvious to all that Barack Obama had carried Iowa:

.....The people in this country are fed up with Washington. Nothing gets done there. If there is a pressing issue, the arguments are fought and yet time after time, in the end, nothing is ever decided. Nothing.

Why? Because no one wants anyone to win.

Just call them irresponsible.

Good luck today Senator Barack Obama.

And her political strategy could begin mirroring that of Rudolph W. Giuliani, a Republican rival, by focusing on populous states like California and New York whose primaries are Feb. 5.

The difference is that Giuliani just might have a chance, where Hillary is slowly going down like the Titanic....

If she is going to replace her whole team, she may as well give it up. What was she thinking of, going to the crying game card? Maybe she was trying to win an Oscar like Al Gore did, only for best dramatic actress.

"It is wrong that Senator Obama got to go through 15 debates trumpeting his superior judgment

Hillary pretty much had the chance to show whatever superior judgment she had and showed us nothing. A big difference Bill, your wife touts 35 years of experience and with the exception of being first lady and an average US Senator, she has never given the voters a look at what she did in those 35 years. If there is any blame to go around for that, it is her's and her's alone.

NBC News has learned that Nevada’s all-important Culinary Workers Union will endorse Obama.

Game, set and match to Obama....

Bill Clinton is just as guilty as Hillary is when it comes to reinventing their records. He tried and tried to convince people the 90's were back. Only problem is, that is ancient history. I think Americans are just looking for a fresh start and don't want to relive the days of whitewater and Monica and the whole Clinton schemes of life anymore.

"The New York Sun even looks at the possibility Obama could win the New York primary. "I am worried," Mayor Koch, who backs Mrs. Clinton, said. "The whole question is whether the country is caught up in an Obama fever"

------------------------------------------------

After watching news clips of Senator Obama last night, I think Mayor Koch has a right to be worried. It is possible, in my judgment, that Senator Clinton might lose New York. As long as John Edwards is in the race, he will garner some of the votes that Senator Clinton would like to have.

Clinton can change her staff, she can change her campaigning style, she can change her outlook on the race and become the underdog, she can change where she goes to campaign. She can cry, scream, shout, and stage events. What she can't change is her, or Bill. The two of them are still, and will always be, controlling, self-centered, in-it-for-me, mean and nasty, politicians that use personal destruction of others as their first, last, and every alternative when things are not going there way. People have caught on to their pettiness though, and the results are showing up at the ballot box. It will be a great day when Hillary is out of the race.

One message that might work for Hillary is that Obama has the same idealism as Jimmy Carter (and most admit his presidency was a disaster) and that we already elected someone we wanted to have a beer with (George W. Bush) and look how well that turned out. I am not a Clinton supporter but both of those messages are the ones that make me wince. I live in Virginia so I won't have to make a choice between Obama and Clinton since it will be over by the time I get to vote. I don't support Clinton since I want us to pick up seats in the house and senate but at the same time I admire Hillary Clinton and all she has done.

Just about all the attacks on Barack Obama were tried and failed in Iowa. They even tried the 'likability tour' with the Hillicopter. Her campaign is trying to regurgitate the same smears/styles.
On Morning Joe, they even stated that 50% of the license plates at her big crowd rallies are from the neighboring states. Now they are outright lying about Barack Obama's record.

It seems to me that Hillary is in a state of constant reaction to what she thinks the voters want to hear. She reacts to the voters' response to Obama by changing her spin on the issues to be more like his. Honestly, it only makes her look like a copycat, and it's obvious that she is not genuinely passionate about them the way he is. Obama is the real deal. He speaks from the heart and the people react to him instead of the other way around. Hillary has made it perfectly obvious that she is just in this race for her own personal satisfaction. Crying on stage doesn't win her pity in my book. It only exposes the true nature of her selfishness. How many different persona/victim cards can she play and expect the voters to take her seriously?

Dot, Illinois (Sent Tuesday, January 08, 2008 9:44 AM)

I disagree with you, Dot - sort of. I think that John Edwards still being in the race is helping Clinton in a way. If Edwards were out, Clinton would be losing by a lot more than she is because Edwards supporters are more likely to drift to Obama than they are to Clinton.

I think Clinton is actually being hurt by Richardson still being there. I think he helped her in the debate the other night more than she helped herself. When he said "What is wrong with experience?", that was what SHE needed to say. He is taking some of the "experience" voters away from her. Granted, he isn't garnering huge support, but she needs all she can get.

She's in a tough spot. If Edwards stays in, he will continue to bash her and keep Obama from having to do it. If he drops, and the race comes down to Obama and Clinton - look out. We might see Obama win a couple states (I'm thinking SC in particular) by upwards of 20 pts.

This is really troubling. All Bill Clinton needs is a bottle of Jack Daniels and a rocking chair - he sounds like a crotchety, pathetic, jealous old geezer. Media bias? Ken Starr? Guess what, buddy, you were President during that investigation, that's how the cookie crumbles. And you ARE a crook. People had almost forgotten in a haze of Republican double-crookery, but here you are, touting investigations into your myriad of finances as though worthy of sainthood.
The fact that this campaign refuses to acknowledge that the voters are responding to something in Obama's campaign, not to mention the possibility that maybe he's a worthy opponent after all, is so shockingly shortsighted for such a "seasoned" team.
And the crying... I mean, it IS personal for them, that is the problem. Obama doesn't even have his NAME on his banners right now, which is a pretty clear departure. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know people would rather the discussion be about them than about you.
I'm glad Obama is winning, but I don't think this self-implosion on the Clinton side was necessary to achieve it, and it's sad to see that's how they have reacted. I'm hard pressed to see how they can change course now. Obviously, it's time for a new guard.

"If Edwards were out, Clinton would be losing by a lot more than she is because Edwards supporters are more likely to drift to Obama than they are to Clinton."

Citizen J: You make a good point. I'm not sure where the Edwards supporters will go if he should drop out. Many of them seemed to me middle aged or older which led me to think they might lean toward Senator Clinton rather than Senator Obama. I do think Senator Edwards has the ability to get under Senator Clinton's skin, because he is not as reticent about criticising her as is Senator Obama. So as long as he stays on the trail, he will be an irritant to her, forcing her to respond to his comments rather than focusing solely on Senator Obama. I admire Senator Edwards' tenacity; he may not win but he is giving it his best effort.

Richardson's stay in the race comfuses me--he seems to align himself with Senator Clinton, yet, as you say, he is syphoning off votes that she could use.

I do think talk about Senator Clinton withdrawing from the race is premature, but if Super Tuesday goes badly for her, she will be in serious trouble.

Always good to read your comments--I enjoy them.

Hillary should hire Karl Rove! Republicans want Hillary to be the Democratic nominee because she is the definition of unelectable. Hillary would lose the illegal alien vote in Florida or California to John McCain or Rudy Guiliani. Even Mitt Romney has created more jobs for illegal aliens than Hillary ever did. Romney has also tapped Silicon Valley for H1-B visa increase payoffs, just like Hillary. Hillary does not have a monopoly on cheap foreign labor / American worker replacement bills. Look at Romney's accomplishments in Taxachusetts... world's biggest cost overruns on the Big Dig, implemented socialized medicine statewide, appointed judges who enacted the nation's first and only Gay Marriage law, raised taxes and fees and state college tuition while doubling the states illegal alien population. Hillary should stop appearing in public and just run TV ads with scare tactics, by avoiding public appearances and telling the world that she is the front runner, she can convince voters that her experience of sleeping with Bill Clinton is stronger than Monica Lewinsky, Jenifer Flowers etc.

Secondly, why the blocking by Bill clinton of the releasing white house papers, what's up with that? Obviously, too much to hide there, other wise her experience could easily be proved or disproved.
Her tears yesterday were not of genuine concern for the country, but rather frustration that her crown slipped off her head, going to a 'green-behind ears newcomber'.
I'm sure she will get slimy as times goes on, and will overreach, allowing her racial hatred towards Obama for 300 million people to see, displayed as her true face. After all, she already began by claiming that Obama is NO MLK.

Regarding Hillary's mythical 35 years of experience, you just need to look her up on wikipedia.com to see her resume is not impressive at all. She's playing the age card. She assumes voters will equate age with wisdom. Her "experience" is hollow.

I'm a Reagan conservative, a bit younger than Obama and I may vote for a Democrat for the first time in my life if Obama is on the ticket and Hillary is not. The same old/same old BS thrust upon us by the "old guard" is simply not working. We need fresh ideas and independent leadership. Perhaps Obama is the best candidate given that test.

Senator Clinton’s husband, President Bill Clinton often likes to assure people and the press, that, “The American people are pretty smart and they usually get it right when it comes to politics and elections.” I am strongly in supprt of Barack Obama, but I have to believe that the successes we are seeing with his popularity in the polls is due to President Clinton’s statement: The American people are in fact, getting it right.

Besides, if you just immerse yourself in the two best selling books that Obama wrote himself (i.e. no ghostwriter), you will not only understand how talented the man is and how he thinks, you may start to realize that he is the most talented and best qualified candidate running, in either party.

This country would be blessed to have Barack Obama elected as our President in 2008. I can't ever remember an election year as exciting as this one. I hope we all live to see Barack Obama sworn in as President on January 20, 2009.

May God Bless and Protect Barack Obama, his Family, and his Team!

So as long as he stays on the trail, he will be an irritant to her, forcing her to respond to his comments rather than focusing solely on Senator Obama. I admire Senator Edwards' tenacity; he may not win but he is giving it his best effort.

Richardson's stay in the race comfuses me--he seems to align himself with Senator Clinton, yet, as you say, he is syphoning off votes that she could use.

I do think talk about Senator Clinton withdrawing from the race is premature, but if Super Tuesday goes badly for her, she will be in serious trouble.

Always good to read your comments--I enjoy them.

Dot, Illinois (Sent Tuesday, January 08, 2008 11:32 AM)

The reason I think Edwards' supporters are more likely to go to Obama is because - especially lately - he has been hammering away at the fact that he (and Obama) represent change, and that Clinton represents status quo. I think if he were to drop out, he would encourage his supporters to go with Obama (change) rather than Clinton (status quo. Not that all of them will listen).

I think Richardson's alignment with Clinton is more circumstantial than it is planned. I just don't see him making a point to help Clinton out - especially now that it is much less likely that she will win the nomination.

Regarding the status of the Clinton campaign, I also think all this talk of dropping out is a bit premature. I do, however, think she is in serious trouble. We can't look at each of these primaries in a vacuum. She is going to lose today, maybe substantially. The culinary workers are going to endorse her in Nevada and she will probably lose there. She is going to lose substantially in South Carolina. It will be hard for her to come back, not only on the most basic level of number of delegates, but on the psychological level as well. Her hest hope is not to win some states before Feb. 5, but to not lose by a lot. I think she will stay in until Feb. 5, but I have a feeling that the outcome will be all but decided by then.

It is always nice to read your comments as well. I hope our discussions outlast the campaign season.

Bill and a number of you have it right...and unfortunately there are a few of you seemingly standing somewhere out in right field slack-jawed staring into the sun.

Hillary is going to CRASH and BURN and Bill will go down with her. It is not a matter of IF, just WHEN. They are finally going to get their comeuppance and they will be shocked that the majority of the nation will have no compassion for them. There utter shock of Hillary tanking now just illustrates how out of touch with reality and the nation in general they really are (i.e., we don't want to live in a socialist society ala Marx). No doubt they will come up with some grandiose and far fetched rationalization to explain why no one wanted either to be in or near the white house to protect their gi-normous pathological egos. As someone appropriately pointed out, they are crooks. An interesting little trick that I learned from watching them closely over the years: do you know how you can tell when they are lying? You can see their lips move (that was way too easy, but true).

Unfortunately, for other civil servants the Clintons poison the image of those doing honest work as they exemplify pathetic caricatures of smarmy politicians, which make pimps and crack-hos seem like alternatively more honorable professions.

I hear a lot about Obama being a symbol of hope. Since when does a symbol equal leadership? I like Obama but he really should have waited until he was more experienced before running for the most powerful office in the world.

He is just too green to be Presidents. It offends me that people are voting for him just to make some sort of symbolic gesture. We are living in tough times and we need a real leader who can solve problems. Hillary, Romney, and McCain are all suitable candidates for that.

The tidal wave will be astronomical. Look at the time her camp brought up Obama's past drug use as a teen. Her NH chairman had to resign because of the negative backlash.

The problem with Clinton supporters is, they can't recognize the truth and reality even when it hits them smack dab between the eyes. They live in a fantasy world which is all about their self-importance and rewriting history and the Clinton legacy of multiple corruption charges and soft on security and national defense.

The WHOLE WORLD is telling the Clintons to pack it in and go home...game over. But Noooo! They will stick around and continue to be divisive and name call until their last breath.... and then blame everyone else for their campaigns of deception, secrecy and avoidance.

The only victims have been the American people by trusting the Clintons and sending them all their hard earned money. That's over! The charity collections for the Clintons are over! The fool me once, fool me twice routine will not turn into a fool us again a third time routine. Goodbye Hillary and Bill, and enjoy both your retirements on the taxpayer's dollar.

You are both old news now...and maybe just plain old. It eventually happens to everyone. Go and do something charitable for others instead of milking the taxpayers to support all your luxuries and bad habits. Please leave us alone and let our government really work for the good of people, with some fresh new ideas instead of all your tired old failed top-down elitism and socialism.

Barack Obama and his wife have outclassed you both in words and deeds all through the campaign so far. They are fresh and half your age? Well maybe not half your age, but you both seem tired and old and twice their age. It also seems like Barack and all his supporters are really fast learners too.

We want off of oil and soon. We want the borders closed and controlled. We are so tired of kissing China's ass only to get tons of polluted goods. We want our troopers home. When some one attacks us, we want the aggressor pounded hard; we want the agressor "lit up!" We want the illegals, all of them to go home. We are tired of the illegals repeatedly poking their fingers in our eyes. We want real fair trade on a level playing field with responsible trading partners. We want Washington to do what it is charged with doing in the constitution. We want public officials who take oaths of office to ABIDE by those oaths, period, no matter what!

Simplistic but true. The best thing left for the Clintons is to pray for the grace to endure what's coming their way. They had their chances and look what they did.

Love the Clintons or hate them on a personal level, there is no denying the 90's were a great time for the country. Low interest rates, low inflation, a rising stock market, low unemployment, declining crime rates, a balanced budget. Even after Monica, impeachment, etc., lets not forget Bill Clinton left office with a SIXTY PERCENT JOB APPROVAL RATING!!! Somebody thought the guy did a good job, even if he might have been a complete horse's ass personally. I, for one, don't give a damn about the president's personal life. His marital fidelity is a matter that should be between him, his wife and God. In Europe, they laugh at us for this obsession with politicians' personal lives. They care about RESULTS! Can a leader GET THE JOB DONE! I think Hillary, like her or not, is the best qualified candidate, and she'd have Bill's experience behind her. I absolutely LOVE Barack Obama, he has the makings of a historically great leader. But shouldn't he be elected President in another 8 years, after he's a seasoned, multi-term Senator with the experience needed to really lead our country and the free world?

How can anyone think that a man that belongs to a church that is unapologetically black and focused on supporting efforts in Africa going to focus his primary attention on the people of the United States. Check it out...he made a call to Africa's leadership just this past week after he won in Iowa.

The Hillary meltdown is poetic justice because the Clinton's have made a career out of using Black Americans as pets. They make big promises to blacks, but never delivered on any of the changes they campaigned on. Dick Morris said that “the 4 major issues democrats run on i.e. health care, social security, energy independence and racial equality, are not problems to solve but rather for the Clinton's they are issues to get elected on. If they would seek to solve these problems then they would not have blacks feeling like victims of the system or the Republican Party. Quite frankly they would have no issues to run on. Now poetic justice is in play because the same people that they used for years have a candidate that is Really Black and will win the nomination.
