This is a reason to vote FOR Senator Clinton.

BRAVO! Well said. Congrats on your BS and all the best on your Masters. I know you'll achieve much success and leave many behind you in a cloud of Dust! You Go Girl!

Sure there are third-tier candidates (Kucinich, Paul, Hunter, etc.) with no real chance of being nominated. But the 2008 campaign is just beginning, and the race is so fluid that we’d need a super-computer to sort through the possibilities. There are just too many match-ups and too many variables to bother with all this speculation, yet. We don’t know who’s going to commit a gaffe or reveal a skeleton or come up with a slogan that catches fire. Let’s let the process play out and see what happens.

At this point I see twelve candidates who have a real chance of reaching the Oval Office. Six are Republicans (Giuliani, Romney, Thompson, McCain, Huckabee and Gingrich) and six are Democrats (Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Richardson, Biden and Gore). Every one of this dozen has an impressive resume and major political talents. Every one of them has serious political flaws. But if your candidate is on that list, don’t let anybody tell you they can’t be elected, because they just don’t know. I’ve lost too many political bets to believe in my own infallibility. And I’ve won too many to believe in anyone else’s.

I am an undecided Democrat. I’m sure there are undecided Republicans and undecided independents out there reading the Ticker. And what I’d like to see from those of you who already support candidates, and from the candidates themselves, is honest substantiative arguments as to why they should be President of the United States, (and why their opponents should not). I want to hear good things and bad ones about candidates experience, accomplishments, judgement, personality, and positions on the issues. . I don’t want to hear slurs about candidates’ race, or age, or gender or religion. And I don’t want to hear about who you think is or is not electable. Because you don’t know. And I don’t care.

No, if they feared her (or hated her but feared) her, they'd remain silent.

She has given no indication that she can generate that kind of fear.

Mountain man, the anti-hillary movement isn't manufactured. It's very real.

PD of Iowa City, I agree with you. Ron Paul in 2008.

If she gets the nomination, her republican opponent doesn't need to do the dirty work. There are plenty of fringe groups and right wing pundits out there to do it for him.

What makes this even more dangerous (if you lean towards the left) is the fact that every House seat is up for grabs in 2008. Although it's possible for Hillary to win the general election, chances are very strong it could also result in a Republican majority in the House. I don't see that happening with any other Democratic contender.

I don't see them going after other candidates. They are only going after Hilary & Obama because they know they have strong support throughout the country which they are going to try and tear down because it threatens their own weak(er) positon(s).

Mr. Edwards, I used to hold you in great esteem. You have succesfully eroded that, and pretty quickly.

Let's remember, the weak, when threatened attack the strong to survive. As I've said on Hilary's website, we don't have to do a thing. They are self-destructing. And good riddance I say.

If Mr. Edwards were a true democrat he would work for the good of the party, and this country. And that would include respecting his fellow democratic candidates. I have said before, and I say it again, infighting will only serve to weaken the democratic party, and the republican's perception of it. Well, wouldn't it be great if they could get us all fighting with each other and have us self-destruct.

Mr.Edwards, I think you've just kissed your future goodbye. Maybe those jokes about lawyers are true after all. What a pity. You have had the rare privilege to prove many stereotypical images false, and in my opinion you've blown them all.

When are you guys going to get it. Hilary is a master at letting personal attacks against her backfire upon those whom make them. This woman has faced enormous challenges publicly and met each one with grace and courage. She's a strong woman, stronger than any male candidate on either side.

Hint: those who are really aware of their strength don't need to flaunt it, advertise it or even be concerned with it. They just go about their business, deflecting life's slings and arrows. All of you who are hoping to tear Hilary down are merely serving to expose your weakness and her strength.

Your cheap tricks and pot shots are riddling your own reputations with holes. But be our guest, we appreciate the help! Thank you. Keep up the good work.

Oh and by the way, the current administration, and those like Mr. Edwards assume that Joe and Josephine public are all dumb and can't tell a truth from a lie, and can't see through all the corruption and deceit of the past 7 years. Just thought I'd let you in on a big secret. We are actually very smart and quite capable of figuring out this stuff. Sorry! WE CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH ALL OF YOU.

Many of us are just quietly and patiently waiting for November.

You mean to tell me that in El Paso the Man is still the head of the household! And the women are forced to do housework!

Well, here's hopin those Texan men aren't running their homes like Bush is running their country!

So it's OK for Hillary to "be strong", but not for Mrs. Edwards?

People can't see the forest for the trees – and that's why we got Bush twice. Wise up, people.

If you really want to see how much change Hillary will bring, try searching the net for the photos of the Clintons vacationing together with the Bushes. Yeah, they hang out together, and have all kinds of ties, finiancial and otherwise.

Why don't you women be quiet and let your husbands think and speak about politics? Don't you have some housework to do?

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What we need is a uniter in the Whitehouse and not the utterly partisan Republican crowd running now.

Go EDWARDS, you are the right man for the job of leading this great country.

She is a good catalyst to rally Republican voters.

The Democrats need either Edwards or Obama...ideally both to run together.

Obama and Edwards would be attractive to a lot of red state voters.

Clinton would fare no better than Kerry did in 2004.

Sorry Daniel, but the corrupt CNN moderators are quickly removing posts against Hillary in favor of the ones for Hillary. It's so disgustingly obvious.

Never expect more than your willing to give..

I have been watching Barack Obama and Bill Richardson closely.

These are two guys I'd vote for over anyone in the Republican field. I would possibly vote for Edwards (wife's mouth or not..has no bearing on him or his policies).

I absolutely refuse to vote for Hillary Clinton for numerous reasons (personal dislike is way down the list, but it is there).

I don't think heaping tons of vitriol at Republicans is gonna help Dems win. Listening closely to the candidates and sending a good honest person to the general election will do it. Don't be blinded by the 'star power' of the 'strong woman'.

My kid has a t-shirt that says "friends don't let friends idolize celebrities"
That would be one to keep in mind during the primary season.

In summary, I think a good candidate like Obama would bring Republicans over. Hillary will actually have the effect of losing a few Democrats, just read some of the above posts.

I noticed that not once has Hillary responded to her attacks, I guess I know which one is the classier woman.
