Isn't bringing in new management to manage the old management, rather than fixing the old management, exactly how bureaucracies grow more and more innefficient? If this is correct, it is an eye opening commentary on how these people might be inclined to run the Executive Branch.

With regard to staff changes, out here in Montana they say that if you put lipstick on a pig, you still have a pig. Changing staff, message, slogans or anything else will not make the past the future. The Clintons were great, but they are the 20th Century. Obama is the 21st.

'...Clinton Allies May Dump Millions Into Anti-Obama Group
January 8, 2008 12:25 PM

Manchester, N.H. -- A panicked and cash-short Clinton campaign is seriously considering giving up on the Nevada caucuses and on the South Carolina primary in order to regroup and to save resources for the massive 19-state mega-primary on February 5....'

THAT doesn't sound very confident !!
Let's try smearing Obama !!

'...At the same time, some top independent expenditure groups supporting Clinton have been exploring the creation of an anti-Obama "527 committee" that would take unlimited contributions from a few of Clinton's super-rich backers and from a handful of unions to finance television ads and direct mail designed to tarnish the Illinois Senator's image....'

That'll bring us together Hillary !!
Smear Obama !!
(you sweet heart)

'...The Clinton campaign has raised over $100 million, but has "only" $15 to $20 million left. It faces donor reluctance to give more in the face of the Iowa defeat and the prospect of a second loss in New Hampshire today. Even worse, the campaign fears defections among those fundraisers who want to be with a winner and who might be easily persuaded to support Barack Obama.

While the amount of money Clinton has would seem to be more than enough by past standards, the cost of competing in the February 5 states -- including New York, California, Georgia, New Jersey, Minnesota, Colorado, Tennessee, Massachusetts and Arizona - is unprecedented in the history of American primaries. She will face, in turn, an extremely well-funded Obama campaign, whose cash register right now doesn't stop ringing as donations are coming in over the Internet, by mail and in checks handed over in person....'

Stay tuned for the Clinton smear campaign
Let's hope it doesn't get too ugly

Imagine the 'first black President' doing a little race baiting......

The Clintons are stuck in a 1990s time-warp!

James Carville and Paul Begala??!!

Heard Joe Scarborough speculate that the campaign would put out Carville as the "attack-dog" on Obama, sort of like he was put out to attack Ken Starr.

So how is this a major "change" in their strategy and tactics from Mark Penn?? Mark Penn attacked Obama on Hardball, etc., along with other surrogates such as Bob Kerrey, Billy Shaheen, Bill, etc. Is the only "change" in the person doing the attacking - i.e. the retro 1990s Carville vs. Penn & Co.??

I heard this news broken on CNN last night around 10:30 by Jennifer Donohue of St. Anselm's College. She said that the Clinton campaign felt Hillary had been mishandled by Mark Penn because he wouldn't let the "real" Hillary be shown. To his credit, David Gergen shot back that Hillary is Mark Penn's boss - not the other way around! In other words, it is rather lame to put all of this failure on Mark Penn's shoulders and not have Hillary accept ultimate responsibility herself.

The Clinton campaign is spinning out of control.

Today, in Dover, Francine Torge, a former John Edwards supporter, said this while introducing Mrs. Clinton: "Some people compare one of the other candidates to John F. Kennedy. But he was assassinated. And Lyndon Baines Johnson was the one who actually" passed the civil rights legislation....'

It would be classic Clintonism to put their interests ahead of a sure (or at least very likely) winner. If Carville et al have any savvy they'll tell it like it is and let the voters decide between Obama and Edwards, who still deserves a look.

McAuliffe is a perfect example of an old general fighting the last war. He's been losing Dem's elections for years with his discredited approach. He and the DLC crowd sneered at Dean's 50 state strategy which put Dems in the majority in congress after years of McAuliffe's "please like us because we're almost as tough, conservative and patriotic as Republicans and we hate liberals,too" strategy getting Dems nowhere. Why vote Republican lite when you can just vote Republican and how do you get out of the 40s percent-wise if you just concede every place where winning isn't as easy as falling off a log. Even Bill only won in '92 because they got lucky with Ross Perot taking votes away from Bush senior.

If the Clinton's were as smart as they think they are, neither McAuliffe, Penn nor Carville would have been major players in their campaign strategy. They don't just represent everything slick and sleazy that people hate about politics as usual. They're no good at it anymore and their previous skill was largely due to dumb luck and the spectacular pol, Bill Clinton. Since then they've been about as "brilliant" as Broncos coach Shanahan post-Elway.

If HRC goes negative, her hopes of the Presidency will be gone forever. 1) If she wins the nomination, she has given permission for Rs to go as negative on her as they wish. She did it first. 2) If she wins the nomination, she will have alienated many who otherwise would have overlooked her flaws. 3) If she loses the nomination and Obama then loses the general, she will never have credibility in the party to try again. Hillary's best option is the ethical option: campaign on her own strengths--but it may be too late to turn the ship. The problem will remain that a strength she claimed, that she was reliably old-guard and could be trusted to bring back old hands, was not a strong enough sales point. She has other good points and needs to emphasize them while toning down her "I've been here before" act, which is not selling well.

Now that voters have seen there is someone else, a real breath of fresh air, they moved away from what they didn't really want.

And who decided that a winning strategy is being able to withstand a Republican attack? That person should be let go as being politically brain-dead. That's on the level of my dad can beat up your dad, hardly what we need to run a country. We've had 7 years of incompetence, and now she's sounding like Karl Rove on terrorists trying to kill us?

Why does everyone have a problem with someone who is experienced in how DC works in the WH? Hillary is not out of touch, she knows what it takes to get things done. Obama does not.

It's a heck of a lot easier to go into a company knowing who can get things done and how well they can do them than go into a company and not know a soul.

So many of you are riding a pathetic bandwagon for a man who has no experience. He stands on one issue, "I did not vote to go to war." If people could see through the excitement and get real with the issues they'd vote for Hillary. Experience offers change by looking back to make the future better. Get over the hype and look at the record. Obama, although one day he will, has no record to speak of. I lived in D.C. for three years and feel certain I have more experience than Obama!

I guess the question is really what could help Clinton over come the attractiveness of Obama. There are so many negatives that Clinton has. It begins to make one wonder how she thought that she could get this far. I would never have advised Clinton to run for president now. She might be what the Republicans need to rally behind their candidate. I don't understand why they hate her with so much passion.

I happen to agreee with Radio Head. D Anders needs to relax or come out and say that D Anders is a bigot; just be honest about it and let us understand how you got these twisted ideas that don't belong.

Many past American politicians prayed to Jesus when they needed help. We are still a country founded on Christian values. But Jesus said do to others as you would have them do to you. Perhaps Mrs. Clinton is afraid of the answer to a prayer.

By the time the Clinton Cronies get done with B. Hussein Obama, the only candidate left standing will be Edwards.
He was a anchor once, he can drag them down again...

The only candidate out there with ideas of change is Ron Paul. And his 'change' is based on going back to our Constitution and Individual freedom. Get out of all the disputes and war. Protect ourselves. Maintain our borders. Financial responsibility by our government. And let the individual states handle the business of their people.
Fire the feds, less is more.

Hillary better humble herself a little bit and no I don't mean crying it out. She has surrounded herself with people just like her who share her opinions and wealth, that is why she is so out of touch. Of course the inevitability factor didn't quite help her campaign either. Now she is just acting like a spoiled brat who isn't getting what she wants. It isn't about YOU Hillary, its about the American people! Playing musical chairs wont help. She used to have my vote but that went out with the trash last week. Obama,... now he GETS it!

Do whatever it takes to get the job done! I for one am tired of hope and change, change, change, change talk. No more change....let's go for sticking to the original premises of the constitution and just get rid of the talkers and stick to the doers. Ask any woman in any household or office who does all the talking and who actually gets the stuff done. The wife or assistant. After Katrina whose office did everyone run to - to find out how to get the paperwork done to get the money - to get FEMA moving -to bypass burocratic hot aired hopeful talking parties on both sides ---- Hillary's.

So go ahead....go get all the people that you can. I think Obama's okay, but I'm from Illinois and haven't seen him around here much since he was elected Senator. I think he needs to go home to Illinois and take care of his state first, then maybe his hope talk can be based on more that 2 years as a Senator, He didn't even have to deal with any crisis here like 911 in New York City.

If Hillary keeps attacking Barack, I hope her political career is over. How dare she lead on for the Republican attack dogs. A month ago, I sill said that I deeply respected Bill, although I retain some anger at him for lying on the stand and squandering the last two years of his presidency. After watching them get desperate this past month, I am just angry and now want them to just go away.

No matter who wins the nomination, we have a tough fight ahead to finally end this Republican nightmare. Please do not make it easier by attacking the person now who might lead our ticket.

Geez, wealthy "Clinton" backers getting together to do the dirty work of the Republican attack dogs. What's next, are you gonna hire the swiftboat folks too? Truly y'all have no shame.

This is the type of stuff that moves me away from supporting Hillary Clinton:

"I think a lot of people now, seeing the situation we're in, love Hillary, adore Hllary, want her to be president, are going to come in and say, I'm going to come in and help Hillary."

This is not a dynastic crowning of a presidential successor. Thinking and commenting the way that McAuliffe does are among the many reasons that I, as a Hispanic Democrat female voter, will not be supporting Hillary Clinton. Personally, I'm leaning towards Barack Obama. My next choice would be John Edwards. Ideally, I would like to perhaps see an Obama-Edwards ticket.

I actually like James Carville and think he is smart enough to see that many Americans will not be supporting Senator Clinton in the short term nor the long term. If she's having trouble gaining support now among Democrats and Independents, can you imagine her trying to win support in the General Election among Republicans? In my opinion, at this point, her election is all about ego and a sense of entitlement. Terry McAuliffe's quoted comment above further supports my opinion.

Clinton is in the worst position possible.

The only way to stop Obama's momentum is to be very agressive and to go after him. And this is exactly what will prevent her from gaining more support. The more agressive she gets, the better Obama looks. I can't tell if this is some weird political anomaly, or if Obama has pulled off one of the most brilliant campaign strategies in my lifetime.

For all her talk of "change" recently, Hillary Clinton sure seems to rely on the old guard to run her campaign.

Radio Head:

Invent facts? You may not like D Anders or his message or the manner he states it (I didn't either) but don't use that as an excuse to dismiss his point (or call for a Mod) if you can't refute it.

Fact -- she wrote a communist thesis and later tried to hide it.

Fact -- she was involved in some very shady financial transactions and ensuing drama that John Grisham couldn't dream up.

Fact -- Her husband is promiscuous at best and some if not most would describe his behavior as perverted. Not sure it's relevance to her campaign and it's a cheap shot but it's fact all the same.

The bastard comment I have no knowledge of and am not interested enough to google for.

Fact -- Out of desperation she has already begun the name calling and dirt digging. It will only increase the closer to death her candidacy gets.

I love how the Clinton supporters are willing to use her years as First Lady of Arkansas and First Lady of the US as "experience" but in the same breadth push all the negative experiences of that time to someone else.

Talk about the pig being a pig, politics is politics. In addition I think it's interesting that the press reporting as if we're in the general elections instead of counting a miniscule fraction (no matter how many people turned out) of the general voting population has created a situation where the majority of us may not have a choice of canidates by the time the primaries take place in Feb.

It looks like the only thing missing from Hillary's campaign are voters interested in electing her the next president of the United States.

She was the architect of the "do anything you want and just keep doing anything that you want no matter what" brand of politics that was imitated and augmented disastrously by the current corrupt administration.

The primary difference between the two front runners is that we may be disappointed in Obama if elected; whereas we will be disappointed with Hillary.

I happen to believe that Hillary is the most qualified, the most articulate, and the most intelligent of all presidential candidates, Republican or Democratic. As a woman, she embodies change. However, I have reluctantly concluded that she is not the right person to be our next President. Obama is definitely the more inspirational speaker, but he lacks in experience and we have no idea what his judgment will be like if he gets in office as President. I think his surge in the polls is due to Americans' total fatigue with negativity, failure to compromise, hate-filled rhetoric, that have characterized the Bush-Clinton years. If Hillary wins, we will inevitably get more of the partisan hatred that threatens to destroy this country. Considering all of this, my support, at this time, goes to Edwards.

Are Democrats crazy? They jump on the Obama bandwagon before the guy is even fully tested. Granted, he gives a good speech and pumps up the young vote. But he's a Pied Piper. Now that he's becoming the "inevitable," its likely he'll crash and burn like Kerry did. Obama doesn't take questions at his rally, and he's not a very effective debater. The GOP candidate will likely squash him, showing how his inexperience is indeed a detriment. By then, though, it'll be too late for the Demos. We'll wind up with another GOP president. Oh, well. At least that means there'll be someone in the White House to serve as a check against the Democratic Congress.

Hillary reminds me of a man.... I think she needs a makeover. Get out of those darn slacks and dress like a lady... smile, laugh, stop acting like a stuff pig.
Let the public see the Hillary who is locked away in that body.

Be yourself and stop depending on a team to tell you what to say and how to say it.

I do no think she has a chance.. Why don't you go back home and enjoy the millions you have?

Hillary had the inevitably factor for the last few years because of the work she did in the Senate and the respect and admiration her colleagues had for her. I was never sure if I would vote for Hillary - I will now. The media's double standard makes me sick!

If Obama fails in his 'mission', another Republican is in our future. Independent voters...you gotta love 'em!

I read these comments and can't help but laugh. Most of you are either Clinton haters, or voted for George Bush 4 years ago. I support Obama because I think he is the right person for the job, not because I don't like the Clintons. Most of the comments that I have read appear to come from people with issues or so uninformed that they believe the Easter Bunny really exist. The Clintons do represent the old guard, however they also represent the very best that old guard has to offer. They were not perfect but during their time they were good for this country. The time has come now for all of us to take a chance that politics and government can be better tommorrow than it is today. My vote for Obama will represent my willingness to take that chance, it will not be a statement against the Clintons. After eight years of the lies, deception and moral bankruptcy of the current administration, we all need to focus on what we want for our country and not on who we don't like.

Hey J Merle, I'm no Obama plant but the first thing I thought of when reading the article is re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Sorry, but the SS Hillary is taking on water and adding another layer of people won't make the core any sweeter. You still have Hillary at the center and there are only so many ways that you can sell something that few want.

Then again, Bush showed us that you can fool enough of the people enough of the time to get elected. Maybe she should make like it is 2000 rather than the 1990s.

How about getting the message out that Hilliary is a change candidate. For the first time in the history of the country, we have a woman and she's got chutzpah, experience, etc. Hilliary is not the old Washington because never before have we had a woman running the country. She represents change on its face because of her credentials, her experience, and who she is. She's a woman, and I think we need to play that up rather than try to run the campaign as she's part of the Washington establishment. The message is clear when you hear all that feminist rhetoric that she should go iron some shirts. I saw it on the news last night. Layering of people won't change the attitude of people who think a woman shouldn't be president or that she's not likeable enough to be president. Make her likeable. We've had many male presidential candidates who weren't likeable, and they were repackagaged.

The comment that the Clinton campaign makes the Bush Rove campaign look civil is so incredibly naive that I can't even imagine what some people are doing reading political news stories. Bush's campaign was manipulative and incredible vicious. Instead of destroying a candidates political views, they destroyed their character. It happened in 2000 and 2004. I should also mention that I am a Bush supporter, however not supportive of some of his tactics.

Joe of Chicago, IL — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 21:17:18 GMT

I will vote for Hillary because she is the best candidate for president. Do we really know who Obama
is? Obama is a sweet talker now but what will happen after he's elected. The media portrays Obama as a candidate for change but his platform is no different than Hillary's. Most media outlet are declaring Obama as the next President after his Iowa caucus win. The media reported that Clinton placed third. In actuality, Clinton placed second and received 15 delegates to Obama's 16 delegates. Considering that more than 2000 delegates are needed to win the nomination isn't it a little premature to picture Obama as the next president? The majority of the comments I've read is negative of Clinton. I have been following this election and have listened carefully to what each democratic candidate has to say. I have not heard Hillary say anything negative or derogatory about Obama or the other candidates.
During the debates, I have not heard anyone ask tough
questions about Obama's character or how exactly is he going to accomplish his goals. Most fo the candidates have the same goals but no one, not even Obama could elaborate on how to accomplish his goals.
I think of Obama as a very gifted actor who can deliver beautifully the lines written for him.

I am skeptical about anything I read on the Internet. So we'll see what sort of post-NH shakeup there is; clearly, though, some strategist on the Clinton campaign is an idiot. "Experience AND change" is a terrible, muddled message, but more than that Hillary is being sunk by one thing: her stubborn refusal to repudiate her Iraq vote. I have been an early and vocal supporter of hers, but she's certainly dampened my enthusiasm by failing to assure me that she realizes the depth of my feelings on Iraq, and I think a lot of people agree with me and blame her specifically for the new Democratic Congress to enact more stringent anti-Bush/Cheney legislation.

I am going to be serious for once in my life. I think Hillary Clinton needs to take a breath, get comfortable with herself and forget about adding more campaign parasites. She needs to be unwavering in her convictions and not worry about the inevitable criticism that any woman in her position would receive. I admire her courage in the face of centuries of male domination of the executive branch, and I wish her well. I may even change my mind and vote for her.

While I do not support Hillary, I find the vituperation and vitriol of some of these emails astounding. Here we have the worst sitting president in history in office--for two terms, yet-- and all these know-nothings can do is to dredge up whatever garbage they can find or make up about Hillary and her husband. Can anyone really argue that the US was not better off under Bill Clinton than it is under W? Yes, there are legitimate reasons not to support Hillary and yes, there were certainly things done wrong in Bill's administration, but those who condemn her for anti-semitism are most likely anti-semites themselves and racists to boot. When Obama knocks her out of the race, you'll then start to see real agenda of the Hillary-haters. Those who wish to perpetuate the war and fear-mongering and environmental destruction won't rest until they have their way.

jacksmith, NO, LA. — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 21:22:12 GMT

Bottom line:

I think Hillary Clinton must get back on that horse that brutally through her to the ground back in 1993. That horse is HR 676 (Medicare For all). Insurance mandates of any kind are totally unacceptable to the American people . Thank God. The vast majority of Americans know better than that now. They want single payer tax supported government managed universal health care free for all as a right. And they want it NOW! And they are right to demand it. The American people are suffering by the millions, and dieing by the ten's of thousands now. It's not just about everyone having coverage anymore. It's about the disgraceful quality of health care in America. Even for people with the best insurance coverage you can buy. And it has to end.

I have enormous admiration, and respect for Hillary Clinton. She fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds back in 1993. To prevent this disastrous health care crisis that is now devastating the American people, and America. She fought so hard for the American people that she risk almost completely destroying her husbands presidency. I haven't forgot her heroic effort. If anyone has reason to be reluctant to get back on that bucking bronc again, it's her.

But I think the time is now. And more importantly. I think the American people are ready to do what they have got to do. To fix our disastrous, and deadly health care delivery system. At least I hope so. For all our sakes. Hillary Clinton is right. This is not a game. It's bigger than parties, and politics. It's about the life, or continued needless deaths of millions of Americans. And HR 676 (Medicare For All) is the way to save us.

Am I the only one out there that was completely turned off by Howard Wolfson. I really wasn't sure who I wanted to support this time around, but after seeing Mr. Wolfson on Hardball a few months ago, I knew it wasn't going to be Hillary. If she used such poor judgement in picking her chief spokesman, I felt I couldn't trust her judgement in other areas. I agree with the other comments, Hillarys ship has sailed and is sinking and no amount of "rearranging" is going to plug the leak. The only way she has a chance is if both Obama and Edwards make major, major mistakes, and I don't see that happening. One last thing, does anyone else out there think and Obama/Edwards ticket would be great. Obama-the philosopher-statesman and Edwards the fighting crusader! What a pair!!

T Calderon, Darien, IL — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 21:27:35 GMT

What I see is this. Hillary makes a comment on the news that the Bush should put a halt to the mortgage collapse by freezing, and the next day Bush says we should do just that and it worked. The economy is now better and people are not losing their homes due to foreclosure.

I see Hillary making comments on what she proposed to do in the NH debate and I see the other two top candidates taking notes on what she says.

I see Hillary getting ticked off to the point of being tired, not taking care of herself, possibly easing back to a point of emotion. I have faced emotional moments these past years when I was out of work due to off-shoring and knew many people over the age of 45 in the same position in various jobs - not in just one findustry. I had emotions when I found out of all the underhanded things done by the Bush administration and executive branch. I had emotions surge out when young kids were sent to war and killed who were my neighbors' kids. There is nothing wrong with some emotion. I like the raw feelings of her and Edwards. They have fire in their veins, determination in their hearts and passion in their souls.

Obama has a way of writing a speech and presenting his words. I know of many writers but they can not do what they say if a fantasy, know the impact of their words or what they are proposng. You need someone who knows economics, law, international trade, capabilities of those in government, the middle class problems and how that equates to the American economy, and much more. Personally, I do not see it in Obama. It may be there, but not on the same level.

Any candidate is a risk. No candidate will develope a Utopia for the American people. I would vote for less risk and something that has a better chance of change and that would be Hillary. Bill Clinton knows how to balance a budget and bring about reform for the American people. He has done it. You choose Hillary and you get Bill to help out with a high degree of experience and the managing of the executive govenment. That is less risk than someone who has not done that. Once you get the American government and the U.S. people back on the right track you can always go into more of the other changes that people want. One step at a time.

People do not realize how much work and effort the Clinton administration had done to get the economy and the wealth back to the American people. It is not an easy job. It is not just one person, but an entire group of people helping to make things work in our American government.

We can have more radical changes but it has to be organized, and people have to know the consequences ahead of time, which no one really does that's why we are stuck in the same old institutional proceedings. People don't say this will happen to this or that in all areas, they just say one thing will happen. You have to have the background knowledge of what is going to be affected in the entire world of Economics before you implement a major change. You need people of experience, who know the details of economics, world leaders, economic professors and those who know when you do one thing in an economy what will happen all across the (board) world.

Now Bill did this when he first was in office. He had an Economic committee come from all over to discuss the various problems. I think the Clintons can do this and put us back on track. They are the less risk people that I see to affect the American economy.

Hillary has already stated she will have troops coming home starting by 60 days under her administration. I think she has a plan. I think she has backing that others do not have. My money if I were betting would be on her and what she offers.

It would be great to have the best of all the Democrats into one candidate, but that will never happen. To have the fresh thought, right word, passion for a true cause and more all rolled into one. Well, the best we can do is come forth with all problems that we have, write to our senators and newspaper people, make these problems and concerns known so we all as a group can deal with them. We are all important to making any changes of things we do not want to put up with anymore; gang activity, better school results, stopping of drugs and illegals in our country, ways to change how we do legislation, jobs for everyone no matter what employable age, companies that are not doing the right thing for the country and the American people, and so much more.

So I hope that everyone does something to make a change and keep doing it their entire life so that the ball does not get dropped and we lose momentum on the good things that life can be for the American people. We are better than what we are now, so let's show it to everyone. We have voices and ideas on how we can create a better life for all us. We know who are the people that are harming others by polluting, taking retirement money, altering retirement healthcare, basically short changing the American people. We can all do this if we are honest with ourselves, and come forth with what we know.

We do not have all the best wrapped up in one candidate. That is why we all have to work together to get everything we want done. If you want a motto for the Democratic people - Know the facts, Make known the facts, Create then Have a plan, and Evolve for the better.

I've been watching MSNBC running a clip of Bill attacking Barack Obama's anti-war record without any real challenge -- more Clinton smear. The NY Times already ran a fact check that shows what a crock of lies this new attack is. Obama did vocally come out against the war before Hillary voted to attack. In 2004 as the Dem. keynote speaker, with both Kerry and Edwards (the standard bearers) having voted for the war, he tried to diplomatically not make them look bad and was quoted as saying he didn't know what he would have done in their shoes. And the George Bush quote, again misleadingly mangled by Bill (I almost called him Slick Willie but won't stoop to that) was that Barack understandably said that once you have put US troops on the ground (the crucial mistake that only he opposed among the current candidates) you then can't cut them off at the knees. I was also one of the electorate screaming at Colin Powell and Bush et al about no WMDs and no cause to invade another country but I agree that it would be foolish suicide to cut funds off for our troops. So again, the Clinton disinformation campaign needs to be challenged on MSNBC!

Given the country's status vis-a-vis war, corruption, secrecy, economic shamble and most importantley shifting of the Democratic Party's ceneterists even more to the right as well as submission to the big coporations, no wonder there is an out-cry for "CHANGE". Unfortunately, despite tremendous talent and capabaility to govern, Senator Clinton's positions project a sense of status que. How about Obama/Clinton ticket?

If you wish hard enough for something it could come true. I cannot believe how the American public is being hoodwinked by the silver tongued Obama. He speaks of change. Just what will he change? What is it that he thinks needs changing. His experience is very lacking. I don't believe this 46 year old has had enough exposure to national or world problems to be president of the U.S. A good president needs good advisers. Who does Obama have in mind? Somebody needs to be asking him a lot of questions. What contingency plans does he have if his initial promises do not pass the muster in congress? Be careful for what you wish because it just may come true. Americans, please think hard about how you will vote. On the job training cannot be afforded. Don't be swayed by what the news media is putting out. Pause, think hard, then make your decision.

No Perot in '92 and the dream team loses to a disinterested Bush by one of the biggest margins in history.

Regardless to the staff change, clinton's message has been lost and she can't change it at this time.

Clinton never apologized or admitted her mistake of supporting occupying Iraq, her strong ties to the corporates, huge mistakes in her tactics specially in her speeches and weak performance on her late debates. The only help she can get is a major mistake by Obama campaign or Obama starts giving more details on what he is he going to do in details which I think will make his plan more clear in stead of vague and general field of dreams.

Needless to say, the establishment will use Obama like it uses others before, and even though he sounded better on many issues, but he will not stand head to head to the establishment. Needless to say both are better than the republican candidates except Ron Paul

Why is it if Hillary has an emotion? She is faking. If she smiles too much, shes too happy. If she does nothing, she is a robot. I would imagine it would be a pretty hard job to be President, and I think I would want someone who has experence in MAKING CHANGE ALREADY. Someone who is not afraid to admit they might be wrong and explore new ways to make real change happen. I would want someone with experence and who would be comfortable with dealing with the leaders of the world, and the leaders of the would would not view them weak or "New" to the ways of the world politics. Obama is nice and "likeable" but can he really get things done at the end of the day. With the mess "W" is leaving behind can we really afford to leave foreign affairs to be learned by osmosis? I don't think so. I am voting for TRUE change. Hillary 08!!!!

Deanna to Quarterback the Green Bay Packers

In a news conference, Deanna Favre announced she will be the starting QB for the Packers this coming Saturday for the playoff game versus the Seahawks. Deanna asserts that she is qualified to be starting QB because she has spent the past 16 years married to Brett while he played QB for the Packers.

During this period of time she became familiar with the definition of a corner blitz, and is now completely comfortable with other terminology of the Packers offense.

Does this sounds idiotic and unbelievable to you? Not if you are STILL a supporter of Hillary's!

Hillary talks about "change" and being "ready to lead", but if her campaign staff doesn't get shaken up if she keeps losing, then she becomes just like the George W. Bush status quo: Rewarding failure with a continued position due to loyalty - instead of results.

We don't need a Democratic version of George W. Bush as our next President. That's the point of "change" that she fails to recognize.

I don't think a change of message will help. A good deal of Americans don't believe Hillary, don't believe she would be a good President, and really just don't like her. She inspires hatred in some people. She can't win this election with little more than a Health Care Plan, the word "experience", and female anatomy. I would absolutely vote for a woman President, if I belived her and belived in her. Hillary has been running to destroy Republicans and empower women, not to inspire and represent the American people. I'll vote for Barack, but if Hillary is the Dem. Candidate, I'm voting Republican.

Clinton staff shakeups? Part II...

George, Seattle, Wash. — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 21:53:01 GMT

I think the difficulty for the Clinton campaign is that there is no fallback position to inevetiability. The message was that even Republican women would vote for her because of the historic opportunity to vote for a women. Another somewhat more quietly stated argument was that Americans would not vote for an African-American.

The Obama team blew this premise away in Iowa. His support was quite strong among what was supposed to be Hillary's base: young-to-middle-aged white women. (It was strong everywhere except among older women, where it was close.) If Hillary cannot win that block among Democrats, it does not bode well for her argument in the general election. If she gets the same support base as Kerry and Gore, we will have the same results as they did.

She is left with the experience factor, and that is not going to work. Not only have the voters indicated that they want a change more than Washington group-think, but any of the major Republican candidates are stronger on that issue than her.

I have been worried all along about what Hillary would do once she started to lose (as I knew she would.) Republican-style attack ads are not a very good way to build up the Democratic party. I almost think that her campaign has decided that if they can't win, then they will take all of the Democrats with them.

I must say that as an Obama supporter I do appreciate former Senator Edward's positive campaign. I think he will make a great Attorney General. I'm hoping that Richardson becomes Secy of State. That is my "dream team."

How encouraging to see so many people weigh in on Hillary's current campaign strategy and prospect for shaking up the status quo. To my way of thinking, that continues to make her relevant and interesting to the voting public. As for Obama, he's a nice guy, good looking, has a Pepsodent smile and can stump as well as Bill Clinton. But he is loaded with hyperbole and devoid of substance. When he begins to receive the (appropriate) level of scrutiny between now and Super Tuesday, I think the honeymoon glow will diminish as voters take a longer, more measured assessment not just of the man, but what he stands for. Besides "change", does anyone know?

Hillary is the most qualified, articulate, and intelligent of all presidential candidates, Republican or Democratic. And yes, she embodies change. However, she is not the right person to be our next President. If Hillary wins, we will inevitably see more of this partisan hatred that threatens to destroy this country. An intelligent woman (or man, for that matter) frightens some people and there are many Clinton-Haters who will sabotage her efforts and perhaps decide to do something more drastic.
Yes, Obama is an inspirational speaker, but he lacks experience and again, I am very concerned about what steps racists might take if he should ever win the nomination and election.

Considering all of this, my support is going to John Edwards, in hopes he will truly be a President that we, and the whole world, can respect again -- someone who really is a "uniter" not a "divider"!

Also, Hillary is losing the female vote because no right-thinking woman would accept such behavior by a husband.

The Democrats look like they are going to pull defeat from the jaws of victory by nominating Obama, with no foreign policy expertise and with no chance on winning hardly any of the states that went for Bush in '00 and '04. The Repubs can win with Huckabee and give us another term run by a lackey of the pseudo-Christian evangelical hustlers. Hillary has too much baggage and no other Democrat has drawn much of a yawn except Edwards, married to the trial lawyers. What happened to the best and brightest?

Under the ClintonS we will get another 4 years of the same Washington rhetoric we have now, except it will be disguised in a different pant suit. If it's between Hilary & and any Republican, I will simply not vote in 2008. It's time for a complete overhaul of Washington; Edwards and Obama are the ones to do that.

Very sad state of affairs, unemployment going up, economy crashing, big companies and huge employers going belly up laying more people off, people loosing their house because they are unemployed not to mention the mortgage companies that handed out mortgages to people who shouldn't of had one anyway, houses flooding the market, while builders keep building new houses at "clearance prices".

Adelle Leiblein Nashua NH — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 22:01:45 GMT

Please wake up, people! The election campaign is just begining! The person in first place so so early is bound to fade, but Hillary will be coming back strong because she has staying power and tested strengths. Remember Obama has never come out about whether or not he's even pro choice? He voted "present" on numerous occasions, demurring about taking a stance. I think Obama is untested, unknown, unvetted and does not show a depth of thinking or consideration of issues in many dimensions. For my part, I see Hillary as being thoughtful and deeply considering of things she's asked....not a bumper sticker sloganeer. She's inclined to say, "It's complicated..." when she speaks, but she's right. She has a depth of knowledge and insight at her fingertips, I think she can and will galvanize the American people to defeat the Republican challenger(s) and she will get there, no matter what happens in NH. A lot of folks have a problem with a very smart, capable, no B.S. woman...but when the chips are down I would want her in my lifeboat. Hillary knows healthcare, foreign policy, family law, economics and a wealth of other important strands of what makes up the fabric of being president. A campaign must evolve and hers will change as it moves through the process...but Hillary will remain a rock of values, views, and vision that will not be blown away by pundits or puny political wrangles. She's got staying power and guts. I pray the country is smart enough to put her to work for the benefit of all of us. Go Hillary!

doesn't any of you who write these notes understand the process? the process is to get delegates!!! last week, obama's victory produced the following: 16 delegated for obama, 15 for clinton and 14 for edwards. that is all the counts.

as soon as obama becomes the true front runner, the press will go after him as they did to hillary. they want the ratings and need to fill the time on the cable stations. his record has not been scrutinized. his votes reflect a waffling on issues. he does give a great speech, a true motivator. he needs to be vetted. i am afraid, that he is another jimmy carter. nice guy but no real guts to go head to head.

finally, for all you edwards supporters. edwards says he will fight for the middle class, that he is their advocate. to this i ask him one question, why didn't you stand up for the middle class when you dick cheney to yourself during the vp debates in the 2004 election. his performance, to say the least, was underwhelming. i kept waiting for him to stick to cheney. he had the opportunity but did not deliver, mano to mano.

Maybe Obama is great, if you vote based on perception rather than proven accomplishments - go for Obama.
Hillarys record is pretty good, if you are a democrat - republicans will of course never agree - she votes/voted against them.
I live in reality and Hillary has my vote, second choice is the Mormon or McCain - I do my research and I listen to the debates. What has Obama said (or done) - except for being a very good speaker - proven substance anyone????

And, even though he keeps playing down his muslum background, why did he demand that the Koran be used instead of a Bible when he was sworn into the senate? Just wondering - it sure makes me suspicious, since the radical muslums said they would defeat us from within.

For the past two decades the country has had a Bush or Clinton as president. Enough of dynastic succession! Her campaign has yet to address (to my satisfaction at least) what Bill's role will be if she's elected. Don't get me wrong, I voted for Bill twice. But, I'm concerned about a co-presidency. Even the perception that it's not entirely clear who's actually president is wrong and potentially dangerous.

2). Turning a blind eye to her husbands multiple affairs as a wife
3). Alienating all parties in the national health care program she was given under Bill's 1st adminstration as the 1st Lady.
4). Crys when things don't go her way in the Primaries as a Presidential canidate.

What is wrong with a Democratic ticket consisting of John Edwards and Barack Obama? That would be an AWESOME DUO! John Edwards would have progressed to the office of President the last time around if he had been the Democratic candidate instead of John Kerry. A Republican ticket consisting of John McCain with a Democratic Vice President (Barack Obama or John Edwards) would be an option.

Honest to goodness what did the woman ever do to engender such unreasoning negativity? I hear(read) all the sarcastic and demeaning comments about Hilary...why? What did she do? I know I am going to get beat up for saying this but the truth is people still don't want a woman running the country and, unfortunately, that apparently includes a lot of women. I think all Hilary has done is refuse to be relagated to the background in her pearls and pumps while Bill was president. She "stood by her man" an action that would have won praise for just about anyone else but it became another way for the haters to vilify her. She is smart, strong and opinionated and even in 2007 that seems to anger (maybe frighten?) a lot of men and, sadly, some women. I don't agree with Hilary on some things her but I don't hate her for it. Why do you? Look at your feelings all you Democrats and my fellow independents and ask yourselves WHY do you not want Hilary when she is obviously one of the best qualified candidates. First Read, why would you post the comments from D Anders. That was offensive.

Remember the name TONY REZKO, real estate developer....He is now on trial for influence pedaling in Illinois. When Obama bought a 1.5 mil. new home in 2005, Rezko bought an adjacent lot for 625K and both friends closed on the same day. Months later Rezko then sells his buddy, OBAMA, the lot for 125K...when this came to light Obama said "he made a mistake in judgement". The Press has not given this coverage it has Rudy's problems. I look for the Clintons despite their similar problems to get the story out....I know the Republicans will.

Obama's support is like a freight train powered by a 21st century rocket engine. The country is hungry for leadership from an authentic leader. We are sick of being screwed over, and being misled with half truths and outright lies. We are sick of seeing the country's prestige in the eyes of the world, diminishing day by day. It is time to get rid of phoney religious zealots telling us all what is good for us, while they line their pockets with kickbacks and gifts from giant corporations they allow to operate without supervision or reasonable limits. It is way past the time to change our government to one being led by an authentic, fair minded, creative and intelligent leader -- Obama will with the Democratic nomination. Obama will beat any of the current crop of Republican hacks.

Get with it women, men are controlling this election, just like every one in history. If she doesn't get the nomination, we deserve the anti-women Republicans that have been shoved down our throats for the last seven years. GO HILLARY!!!!!!

Whether or not you like or agree with Hillary, she's trying to win. Interesting to see that health care is part of everyone's campaign now, but she was the one pushing a decade ago. Ah, yes, remember when we didn't have a huge deficit? Perhaps the country is ready for someone new, but why would anyone think Hillary would quit when she's tied for first place? Anyway, make your comments, but leave the vitriol aside.

Johnalee~ — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 22:29:27 GMT

The American people want change?

Then why are they voting for the same smooth talking, highly inspirational though realistically shallow candidate as before? George Bush offered the same ideas: changing the face of America, and well, I have to give him credit...he did change America only not for the better.

If Americans really wanted change they would look at the candidate whose ideas are not always painted in rainbow hues, but are truthful. They would look at the candidate who is an optimistic realist, and not so far idealistic as to devote all their time to notions of hope instead of action, belief instead of an actual plan.

Hillary has painted pictures for us about what is REALLY going on in the world: her thoughts on Afghanistan, Pakistan were not always pretty, but they were always honest! Pretty, is merely that: a sensation and true artifice.

While the other candidates were spending their time speaking of how they would pull out of Iraq immediately, Hillary was informing us of the humanitarians, the ambassadors, etc., who would still be there and of course in far more danger than before. Things are not as "black and white" as the other candidates are making them but in a multitude of grays.

Hillary is the REAL change Washington needs. She has been upfront and honest about the real state of affairs in this country and world~ not speaking in generalities of "just have hope" but of explaining actual processes and ideas for change.

In my opinion, wouldn't the politician who "tells it like it is" be the real change we are seeking? Not another Bush who continually leaves us in the dark about what is really going on? Obama tells us all what we are craving to hear, but it isn't all the truth of what we NEED to hear. She has been upfront, and has been punished in the media for being so while "the wizard of oz" campaign unfolds to splendid reviews.

Hope can only go as far as action~ it is like praying to lose weight whilst sitting on the couch eating a hamburger and fries...Obama goes down sweet and juicy, but he is full of saturated fat! The kind that sneaks up on you one meal at a time and before you know it your jeans no longer will fasten.

If we truly desire change, then we need to stop voting for the people who tell us what we want to hear, misguide us, rather than speak the truth about the way things really are.

After all, I think we can handle it. We can handle the truth...something that the Obama campaign has forgotten.

I am an independent voter and my eyes are now wide open!

Can we get above the meanness? Hillary is our first real hope of having a WOMAN President. I know she can do it. She needs to hang in there and smile above cave dwellers who do not know their fears and are therefore fearful. Think for a moment on how we have all been touched, nurtured, guided by women and then imagine for a moment how we can be lead by a woman...just like our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, nieces and daughters who are teachers, bosses, caregivers it is not so far-fetched to think of them anyone of them as President of the great U.S.A. it is not so far-fetched for you or anyone.
My disappointment will not only be that Hillary doesn't get the chance but the nastiness of the alpha males and beta females (the followers) and at stake is the loss of the sparkle in the eyes of our young sisters and daughters who can conquer with a strength of conviction as long as they are given a 'thought' a 'possibility'.

I like Obama...but rhetoric will not cut the needs of our nation; more gumpf and experience is needed. Give him another 8 years...but for now we need Hillary...not for just the U.S. but for the rest of the world...we need movement and vision in the right direction for the first, second and third world countries to unite and strengthen and it starts with US (U.S.) in our homes, villages, communities, cities, nations and world. Let's move forward together folks towards balance and healing of humanity and the world...we need Hillary...

'I can't believe these nasty and negative blogs about Hillary! It is a question of substance vs. talk. Obama needs to walk the walk not just talk the talk!
Our country is in big mess thanks to Bush - we need someone with experience, intelligence, strength and conviction. We need Hiilary Clinton! I like Obama but it's not his time many in 8 years. Let's first elect our first Woman President( are you guys afarid?) then we can elect our first African American President in 2016!' Tricia Head Orlando,FL

This is the dumbest thing that I have read. Are you even paying attention to the issues? This country is messed up because of that type of thinking. Do you really think that a black person should take the back seat for a white person? What makes you think that she is more qualified than him? As far as walking the walk, are you aware of the things that Obama did before he became a US Senator? Just because her husband was in the White House does not mean that she has the experience she talks so much about. Last I checked, Obama has a law degree from Harvard and also taught law. Is he not intelligent enough for you? When he speaks, do you not hear conviction as so many others? Do you not see a strong man when you look at him? Or are you too focused on the color of his skin and gender. Before you make another ridiculous statement like that, please check the facts.

Reading the majority of the responses above, I'm reminded of the saying that people deserve the government they elect. One doesn't have to like a particular candidate, including Hillary. However, to vilify one for her every move seems a bit beyond the pale. Why not save the vitriol for someone more deserving. Someone like... oh, I don't know, maybe someone who lied to get us into an unnecessary war, or someone who turned a budget into a surplus, or someone who oversaw a tax cut that disproportionately benefitted the rich, or maybe someone who did all the above? Hillary isn't my first choice, but she's likely to have similar politics to Bill, and the last time I looked, his record looked pretty good to me.

Thank you for the explanations. I learned something today.I was always taught to use the simplest term possible when writing, so that one confused me. I have to say, however, it almosts seems that there would be some redundancy in that strategy. I think one of the major problems in the Clinton campaign is the fact that there were to many people trying to speak for the Senator. Her team, and her husband's team didn't alway seem to mesh well.

It's very sad to me that a brilliant, dedicated to social reform, mature woman is being so hacked from the media. It is absolutely apparent that she so intimidates the testosterone driven candidates that she has not been given a fair playing field in the least. Obama is great and I would vote for him in 8 years with no problem!! But he has not at all explained how he will "CHANGE" anything! Then Edwards, whom I used to respect very much came out last night commenting on Hillary's tearfulness as being "not presidential-not strong enough" Why didn't the media throw mud at him for his impassioned speech in debates where he teared up?? It's evident that she's damned if she DOES and damned if she DOESN'T! First she's criticized for not showing the emotion that some folks want to see, then when she does, she's slammed for that too! ABC's interviews on Nightline last night was disgraceful. One guy saying he's voting Dem for the first time in order to keep "the horrors" of the Clinton years from happening again. Then, the reporter talked about Obama, comparing him to Bobby Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln!!! Oh Ppppllllleeeeaaasssseeee. Media a little slanted, maybe? For one thing, the Clinton years were dogged by the Rep assaulting them constantly, instead of working with them. Yes, Bill is a womanizer (or WAS), but, if that's the worst he did, so what? What were those "horrible" things that the Clintons' did? Balance the budget and leave us with more than a trillion in surplus money? OMG, how dare he! And SHE...the "horror" she spread over the planet as she traveled and met with and became friends with awful people such as Bhazir Bhutto, leaders and common folk alike, studying, learning various cultures and discuss how we, as a species must work together to save the only world we have...Spaceship Earth...which is headed down the tubes fast. Oh yeah, another horrible thing Bill C. did was to set aside wilderness areas to be protected from idiots who can't plan further than the end of their noses. Hillary is the most intelligent of choices we can make to head our country out of the "dark side" and into the Light! I'll be proud to display her sign in my yard, on my vehicle and clothing. Now that I've lost respect for John E., I wouldn't vote for him. HHmmm, my first time to vote Repub? Could I be that stupid? That's equivalent to the dummies voting AGAINST Hillary! No, I won't do that. I pray that people/media wise up to ask substance questions, rather than go along as a herd of sheep jumping on a wagon that has wheels about to come off! Oh, and Oprah, either have the guts to run for office or shut up on such a grand scale! No agenda there, huh? Hillary...you're way too good for them!! You're strength and truth scares them.

Ben:

Can you tell me anything done by the Bush campaigns that wasn't mirror-imaged by the Democrats (and in many cases initiated by them)?

What exactly did the Bush campaign do to destroy the character of Al Gore? Or John Kerry for that matter?

Which side raised (constantly and from 2000 on) questions about Bush's military record? Questions about Kerry's record only came up after incessant demeaning of Bush's record. What about the James Byrd ad, one of the most vile political advertisements in recent memory?

Yeah, I'd like them all to clean it up, too. But I'm tired of the fantasy on the part of Democrats, and apparently at least one Republican, that the Bush administration and Republicans are the founding institutions of crappy campaign tactics.

Republicans? - not so much! Mitt Romney and John McCain are both honorable men, for the most part. It does concern me that John McCain continues to give our current president credit for going into Iraq!! He maintains the President took us to war based on the intelligence he had at hand - how many times have we heard/read that he, his Vice President and Secretary of State (among others), knew the intelligence was flawed but that didn't cause any hesitation in their decision to invade! The President took his eye off the ball(Bin Laden) and we lost the game in the first inning -there is no way we can declare victory now, or ever! We can leave Iraq honorably but can never declare victory!

BUT, she needs to run her campaign her way, not worry about what is said in these comment lines, let anyone say what they would. Then, when she loses (IF she loses) to Obama, that just gives Obama a better foothold on the Democratic Party and a better chance of winning the election. It will make Obama that much tougher for the Republicans to deal with.

I saw a picture of Clinton and Obama at a rally where the Pledge of Allegiance was taking place. Obama was standing lifeless and cold - no hand over his heart, no saluting to the flag, no participation whatsoever. It gave me an uneasy feeling that a Presidental candidate would not pledge his allegiance to the flag and the country for which he is wanting to lead and defend as President. Although I am still an undecided voter, Hillary Clinton professes to be an American who loves her country and wants to lead it to the best of her ability. She's just as qualified as any other candidate - even being a woman. First we call her weak because she's a woman and then when she gets on the same aggressive level as a man, we call her a b***h - can't have it both ways. I guess what I'm saying is that I'd rather have an American woman leading our country who profounding loves her country and those in it - than a man who won't pledge his allegiance to it - and ultimately to the ones who live here. I'm a middle aged woman who is anything but a feminist - and pray everyday for this country and it's leaders - maybe if everyone would - our country would be in a much better place.

Perhaps my first message was too long. I did get carried away with my own stuff, just as Obama does!! Abraham Lincoln? Bobby Kennedy? Idiot Nightline reporting such crap! I'll proudly support Hillary. She's EARNED it...she's known worldwide as an exceptionally intelligent, compassionate, agent of change for the GOOD of all concerned. Wise up citizens. Hillary is perfect for the job of President. Besides, the testosterone driven folks have had their way for a long time. This woman deserves respect and support. She's certainly got mine...and many millions more. Give her a chance. She is not Bill.

Hillary is amazing. Anyone who can deal with the visciousness of the US public and continue to serve her country deserves our respect. She's been smacked around as the first lady in Arkansas, and she took more than her fair share of spittle in the face as first lady of the country.

She's earned the respect of her colleagues in the Senate, of the joint chiefs of staff at the pentagon, and of her constituents in New York. Sure, she has faults. We all do. So what. We would be so fortunate to have someone with her tenacity and smarts in the White House. If she's not elected, we've all failed to put one of the smartest people in the nation in charge of changing the nation. Who else cares about health care and education as much as she does?

Let's not waste time saying dispicable things about politicians. Let's choose the best person running for presidentwho will look out for the middle class.

My vote's for Hillary as long as she's in the race. You go, Girl!

America sees that and just like bugs to a light, their hearts and money are flocking to Obama. He is on a roll and bringing new blood into the voter pool as never before 59% in Iowa I hear.

American people were known for being broad minded and responsible. Anyone looking at these comments would think otherwise about the readers and people making comments. If you support your candidate say so and support them. If you see someone publicly attack your candidate do talk about it. This hateful and viscious comments says why ur country could only elect a Goerge Bush 8 years ago - one that promises change, be a uniter and not a divider, a fresh face away from Washington and someone you can have beer with. I think Obama has tremendous strengths but let us not glorify him beyond what he like the press and public did to George W Bush. Also if you support him or a republican candidate you dont make them better by vicious and dirty attacks on other candidates like Hillary Clinton. All these candidates beleive they want to serve our country in a sincere manner even though you may see her negatives. That does not mean you act with disrespect. That sign from the press and bloggers is sure to produce conditions that led to the country in large part accepting and supportin the war and produce the kind of leadership we have in Washington.

Senator Clinton's Passive/ Agressive and so obviously untruthful attack on Senator Obama on Monday lost her any vestige of future support from me. Senator Obama NEVER "compared" himself to Martin Luther King or to President Kennedy; he simply quoted singular and valuable insights each man had expressed during their exceptional lives that had a profound effect on Senator Obama's moral compass.
Ironically, Senator Obama's considerable restraint from reverse name-calling was exactly what we would have expected from Reverend King and JFK. Maybe voters should listen to Senator Clinton, after all. Unfortunately for her, she may be on to something.

Because someone likes toes that makes them a degenerate? Why can't people just not like a position that a candidate takes without making it a personal attack. She stuck with Bill, that is her business. She wants to revamp healthcare, that is everyones business and an issue to debate. Out of the hundreds of posts, I would bet that few if any have any personal dealings with any of the candidates. Surely not enough to make personal attacks on. Keep the negativity out and stop the personal attacks just because you don't agree with ones views. Can't we all just get along?

What I do want it direct answers to question about your plans and policy ideas. What legislation do you want to send to congress? What foreign leaders will you talk to first? What financial goals will you set? How soon will you start conversations (not dialogues!!) about how to expand healthcare services without forcing providers to practice according to a rule book instead of their expertise? What do you offer as ideas for environmental protection? Naive or not, that is what I want---give the electorate credit for intelligence and decision-making capabilities!

Hillary Clinton has been a hard working Senator who is respected by her colleagues in the chamber. Since the handwriting is on the wall, she should bow out gracefully and plot to become the next Senate Majority Leader. She will be far more effective that Harry Reid and will still be a powerful voice for the American people. This country is "Clinton-Bush fatigued" and is sending a strong message that their combined 16 years in the White House is mercifully over.

Check the records and stop speaking from adrenaline and unreasonable emotions. Bashing Bill Clinton and now his wife? Sounds familiar. People seem to forget how good they had it when Bill was around -- a VERY healthy economy, strong global relations, a tremendously strong Dollar, and most importantly, a SURPLUS in the fiscal budget! Wondering why our economy is in the dumps? Learn some basic economic facts first. Concerned that your dollar can't stretch as much any more? Vote for Hillary! Obama is all talk and no substance. He's the new fad in politics, and you all know it! Vote for him because he has strong experience & that he'll have strong people behind him, not because he'll be the "first" of many other things you want to label, i.e, First Black President.

Bringing in James Carville will be a sign of the utmost desperation on the part of the Clinton campaign. Carville is clearly a hatchetman as evidenced by his television appearances during President Clinton's most difficult times in office. Furthermore, bringing in the likes of Carville, who is most emblematic of the extreme wing of the Democratic party, will only prove to potential voters that Hillary Clinton is simply a continuation of the same destructive politics this country has endured over the past few decades. In this regard, the term "Clinton co-chair Terry McAuliffe" should be sufficient evidence to most thinking Americans that the Clinton campaign is simply more of the same thing the electorate has suffered with for the past three presidential elections. If we hope to avoid utter corruption throughout the rest of the primary season, it would be best if Hillary Clinton would begin her housecleaing at the co-chair level of her organization.

Bill took the office and made it a sex pit with who knows how many women. The american dream....anybody can grow up to be president. That's what I was taught as a child. Well there he was a boy from a broken home and not a lot of possibilities until politics came along for him. He could have done so much more for our country if he had kept his mind out of his pants. Both of the Clintons are evil coniving low class human beings. Hillary had an agenda from the very start when she married Bill. I'm sure it was politics and being history's first woman president. That's the only reason I can possibly think why she stayed with him throughout they're marriage.The potential power and her moment in history. What woman in her right mind would have stayed with a man who did all the things he has. It just tells you something about her character....something I just can't see in the highest office in the land. Elect her to the office and expect to see at least four more years of soap opera.

Wow. This thread is clearly NOT moderated if so many redundant and idiotic comments got through. Methinks it's time to hire more staff for your online community MSNBC. I'm available.

It IS highly suspicious that some of the same comments are made by different posters, sounds like an organized online smear campaign from competitors of either stripe.

Hillary Rodham Clinton has lived most of her adult life in the public eye and has devoted herself to public service and the law. It's unfair to slam her with rumors when she's really trying, and has been for years, to make our country better.

Have you seen the results of our lack of universal health care? The USA is now LAST out of 19 countries in treating preventable deaths/illnesses. (see www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22554235/) About 1/3 of the countries on the list were re-built by the USA after World War II. What does this show you? Since the Republicans have been in power for so long (even if they didn't have the White House, they had the Congress) our country has spawned a new corporate monarchy of super-rich, with the rest of us serving their needs at serf wages - since they've spent the last 50 years busting the unions, sending the better jobs overseas, and concentrating on the corporate bottom line rather than on building a country we could all be proud of and thrive in. That's what happens when Republican/conservatives run the country, and I don't believe it's what the founding fathers spilled their blood to achieve. Hillary tried, as first lady, to get us all on the same page with a universal health care plan, and that was trounced by the Republicans and even by some Democtrats in congress.

So, go ahead and keep listening to Limbaugh and watching Hannity and Combs while you still have the cash to pay the electric bill. Don't worry, you won't have to worry about politics for too long since you'll probably be bankrupt and uninsured when you become ill and won't last long due to lack of care. Don't worry about your retirement either, you won't have one if Republicans stay in power. We'll all be selling apples on the corner trying to pick up a few quarters from the rich.

Do you REALLY want to see the whole middle class end up on the street while a small percentage of corporate bosses buy up your neighborhoods to build their private golf courses since nobody has a mortgage anymore? If so, go ahead and vote Republican AGAIN.

If you want to see ANY improvement in health care, employment, education, infrastructure, and financial markets in this country - we must band together and vote for whoever the Democratic party nominates. Spout as much anti-anybody rhetoric as you wish, all the Democratic candidates are on pretty much the same page about where we need to be going as a country. Any one of them, and any combination of them, would be a refreshing and necessary change from the idiots in the White House now.

What we should NOT be doing is trashing ANY of the Democtratic candidates if we want a Democratic win, and if we want our country to survive as a legitimate power for good in this century.

Stop the negative talk now. Talk about ideas, not personalities.

Just who in there right mind would vote for her to run our country when she has never even been able to control her husband?

Hillary Clinton lost my vote when she said Americans shouldn't have "false hopes" about political change... hope is what we need the most at this time. She lost my respect when she attacked Martin Luther Kings methods and credited Lyndon Johnson for the Civil Rights Movement... our African American brothers were never "given" any rights- they fought for and won those rights! The Civil Rights Movement dragged our Federal Government kicking and screaming into legalizing the rights that we take for granted today! The Clinton Machine has old parts and clearly has run out of gas! R.I.P.

The problem isn't that Hillary can't satisfy her husband. The problem is she won't even try! She has lots of marital standins to perform those duties. What would she do to perform the presidential duties?

I am sorry, Hillary is begging for vote now to an extent using her only daughter to attract young voters, for me that is nonsence.
The best thing she can do is to go back to her house and sit down and know that Americans doesnt want her so-called experience again.

I have faith in her. She will come away either way a winner. and those who vote for for the popular One"" will see the Republicans win.

If I was in a dog fight I would want Hillary on my side. But the fact is, her experience has been to use the major media, and political muscle to get what she wants which is not bad. Never has she had to appeal to the masses with her power of persuasion. There will be a female president one day, maybe Nancy Pelosi, but I don't see Hillary getting to the promise land, just paving the way.

The Clintonistas left alot of cat pooh in the sand box and people are just tired of having to pick it up, cover it up, or try to make it disappear. 20 years of Bush's and Clinton's are enough. Let's give someone else a try. Can't wait till Sandy aka "the document smuggler" joins the team again. I hear Madeline "Kim Jong Il" Albright is working behind curtains now. Certainly, Big Head Begala and Mouth of the South Carville is not to far behind either. Boy, if these guys do to Obama what they did to Kenneth Star the public may finally understand the truth behind the coined phrase they created "Politics of Personal Destruction". Where is Larry Flynt when you need him, and oh has anybody seen that laptop with the 900 plus FBI files on it. Call Craig...he was the last one surfing the web. Holly crap what a hell of a SNAFU this primary season has become anyway.

All you vicious people must be employed by the internet savy Obama campaign to flood the internet with more anti-Hillary rhetoric. And then have the audacity to question the tactics of the Clinton campaign, when this has been nothing less than organized mud slinging and libel. All this and the media devouring every bit, continually portraying Hillary in a negative light, and treating the anti-American Obama as if he were the next golden child. How very sad indeed.

Hillary whines, whimpers and sheds tears during campaign pressure. How in the world will she handle the pressures of the white house.
JFK went eyeball to eyeball with the Russians for 13 extremely tense days and under extreme pressure. Hillary has now proven she would have foldedcrying her eyes out and we would all be speaking Russian; assuming we would still be alive.
Hilary is a loser now....a proven loser; she cant handle the job obviously!
Just one more straw piled on her extremely shady background. Experience???? HA!

Ok, Ok, Clinton is done..Obama is on the rise..Edwards is as good as gone...Who cares??? The last thing this country needs is any of these socialist hacks who believes they know best how to run everyone else's lives....they all believe in take from you and give to whom they choose...when are the American people going to wake up and quit looking for any of these sanctimonious blow hards to solve all of their problems?? It is time for all of us to take responsibility for the lives we have created for ourselves....AND....if you don't like it get off your butt and change it...quit expecting government to solve all your problems...

We don't care who gets to be our next president, as long as it's a democrat, because republicans only screw up this country and give the rich tax breaks. This country need a lot of fixing after Bush and his administration has screwed up everything. Bush will go down in history as our worse president, right along with Nixon. It's going to take the democrats a long time to fix all of Bush's mistakes and some they won't be able to fix.

Hillary will do anything...just wait for the real mudslinging. I can't imagine anyone with half a clue voting for her. She has zero experience..ok i was married to a lawyer...want me to defend you in court.
Being the first lady to an impeached, lying , cheating bum like bill is something i'd leave off my list of qualifications and you new yorkers are all nuts for electing her. you get what you deserve.
keep her up there. she will never do any good and will never be president.!!!!!!

Kevin, New York — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 01:33:20 GMT

It's you Hilliary, not your staff. You'll never be President, neither will the muslim, not in today's world. The best thing you can do for your party is endorse John Edwards, but he's not going to be President either. John McCain will be the next President. Jerry Butler is right, we need a President that our enemies will respect. When Reagen was elected the hostages in Iran were released. That's what this country needs. Big Boy's Rules. Christy, you're an idiot.

Rick, Trenton, NJ — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 01:35:10 GMT

During our recent visit with our 87 years old mother my brothers and I started talking about the real possibility of Hillary winning the presidency. Out of the blue, our mother, who is totally apolitical and never expressed even a hint of her political tendencies, blurted out: "Anyone but that b**ch!". We all were stunned, since we never heard such language from this gentle lady.
This incident has definitely made me wonder - perhaps our mother knows something, we don't?

I'm a registered Democrat who hasn't voted Democratic for a number of years. Hilliary can't even handle Bill, what makes you think she can run the United states? The Clinton's have too many skeletons in their closet. Scary. Michigan voter.

Tom Johnson, Germantown, OH — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 02:09:16 GMT

I couldn't be more relieved that Hillary is stumbling.

As a good American and a proud Republican, the thought of Hillary in the White House makes me shiver. Obama is a breath of fresh air and brings some interesting talking points to the table, and Edwards is just a smiling piece of fluff. If Obama were to win the presidency, I'm afraid his learning curve would hinder his ability to affect any kind of real change. But at least there would be honest debate that might spark both parties to some creative new thinking. If Edwards were to win, well I guess we'd have 4 years of nothing, then be able to get back to business. But if Hillary were to win, Saints preserve us.

Look objectively at what Hillary stands for; the State above all. She is the most dangerous of all things, a Communist who genuinely believes her own claptrap. She honestly believes she knows what is good for every American and will earnestly endeavor to make sure they live her way. The Communist way. For the health and prosperity of the State, not the individual.

She is the most vile of all things; a Communist wrapped up in the American flag.

Ayn Rand would have smelled this rat out long ago, and railed against her mercilessly. Unfortunately the last great American philosopher is long dead and all we have in her place are the blatting horns of O'reilly and Hannity.

Take a few minutes and look up Rand's forward to 'Anthem'. It takes Collectivism to task much more eloquently than I could, and when she writes about the disingenuous statements of the Collectivist you can almost hear Hillary saying, "It takes a village to raise a child."

I'm not part of the Obama Camp or any other candidate for that matter. I am an over 40 single successful woman ~ I will not support Hillary! A woman in the white house is a wonderful attainable goal and be a reality in my lifetime after all the Red Sox have won the World Series twice now. PLEASE ANYBODY BUT HILLARY IN 2008. She's not the right woman for the presidency and could destroy the opportunity when the right woman comes along! Right on...JOE MIAMI

MK of MO
When John Edwards was making his speech last night,
was that an actor from Desperate Housewives behind him. About the plans you're talking about, all I can say is a movie trailer does not make the whole movie.
And I would not call that a plan.

To Leo of Mesa Arizona.
Before you comment about Hillary not having any supporter, please make sure you're in the same page.

To All Obama supporters, Pollsters, and supposedly unbiased newscasters.
Hillary's NH victory is a clear message that not
all americans are for Obama. Some of us still knows that action speaks louder than words.

Lets not get so philosophical about New Hampshire's voting outcome that put Hillary over the top. It is obvious that once Carville and Begala were involved, their unethical doings would see to it that Hillary won.
