CNN

If Hillary is really going to the center for the general election, I hope she also corrects herself on trade like Bill Clinton did and shows that she really does support the trade agreements with N. Korea, Peru, Panama and Columbia and stops criticizing NAFTA and CAFTA

Those of you who say that John Edwards only can critisize hillary, clearly has not heard his speeches. I have watched him in many debates and speeches and he has a lot to say on every single issue possible. He has every right to distance himself from other oppenents. If hillary decided to make that desicion he is completely allowed to disagree with it.

What will Edwards be doing once he loses in the primaries AGAIN? Do you think he will finally just GO HOME and leave us alone already?

Sorry John, you are no RFK!

OBAMA, WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
DO YOU KNOW WHY??
DESPITE THE MEDIA'S NEGATIVE PUSH ON OBAMA,
THE PEOPLE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THE SAME "GOOD OL BOY" POLITICS. AND WILL COME OUT AND VOTE. I PERSONALLY KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT VOTED IN THE PAST AND NOW WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA.
HE SEEMS TO REPRESENT REAL POSITIVE CHANGE,AND WILL CHALLENGE THE WAYS OF THE WASHINGTON MACHINE.***MONEY WILL NO LONGER RULE**** THE PEOPLE WILL RULE**** AMEN

A DEMOCRAT,
Shows how foolish you are, to make such a statement about Obama. What, he is foolish coz he is challenging the Clintons something that needs GUTS? Is he foolish coz he is young and challenging the OLD politics? Is he foolish coz he is BLACK, Cmon just say it stop hiding your racist feelings! I would take it as a compliment if someone called me a dreamer, coz you know what DREAMS make the world progress. It is coz someone had a dream that it is possible for you to sit in front of your computer spewing all that BS.

We democrats need to get tough on Iran and thier threat to society. Clinton made the right vote. Once Iran begins turns aggressive; and they will. We will have the means to militarily take out the nuclear threat before we are all blown away. Go Clinton! Way to win the general election!

Once again, the Democratic Party is going out of its way to lose an election. If you think that the Republicans don't already have 3 or 4 scandals ready for page 1, and 6 or 7 girls who know Bill ready for Inside Edition, you are dumber than I think you are. Not only that, look at the profiles of HRC and Rudy. They are almost identical. (I'm not talking about the knee-jerk proposals coming out now that she has no intention of implementing). Rudy will scare women, HRC will scare men, and thr Republicans will win the White House and at least one house of congress. Hillary and Bill are the coattails the right-wingers need.

Most Americans DO NOT care if we have a man or a woman in the white house as long as it is a Democrat. Let me remind you again, the DEMOCRATS are for all people, especially the common people. They will help us, not harm us. So Hillary is the most rational of all the Dem candidates. Obama is a dreamer and an opportunist. A very foolish man.

You mean people still go to Edwards rallys? Why do people waste their time?

It means that either Lorenz can't spell or he types to fast.

John Edwards is a phoney.

He wears the same pair of worn jean in public speeches to show he is "the champion of the poor", while wearing the same $400 hair cut at the same time. What you don't see from him will scare you.

Is this just a bad picture or does it not look like his right front pocket has sweat and grime on it from three weeks of wearing the same pair of jeans?

I like him! God made/changed him straight! Who cares if he wants to change his sexuality, or not! Just be who you are!

the brilliant hillary couldn't pass the bar exam in DC.

source: her autobiography.

all the job offers for lawyer jobs was a hoax. she graduated from law school but did not pass the bar. she was not an attorney.

so she moved to arkansas withh will-yams. hitched on to his political wagon.

bar exam was easier in arkansas at the time you did not need a bachelor's to be a teacher. an AA from a jr college would do.

fit right in with her smartest woamn in the world intellect. she worked on gov't cases as a part time lawyer for the rose law firm.

how did she get that job?

why was she on the board of directors of the NASTY wal-mart corp.

she shouod answer these questions.

the baby candidates edwrds&obama should ask.

they may be too scared.

I'd be happy with an Obama/Edwards ticket in 08. Either would be significantly better for this country than Hillary Clinton. Hopefully America wakes up and stops believing her lies.

Hillary should be the President of the United States and her intelligence obviously shines through because of all the candidates trying to falsely criticize her all the time. God Bless Hillary and Bill and Chelsea and it will be fantastic to have Hillary as the President in 2008!

Oh if hillary get the nomination,she we get defeated for another republican ,how do you know that,there is no votes casted, its a bunch of horse manuer,bull crap anyone believes that crap there phoney as hell to.John Edwards could NOT EVEN WIN HIS HOME STATE
in 2004. He DID NOT RUN for the Senate for a
2nd term, because he could NOT WIN.
Why Edwards is even in this again, makes him a
3-time loser. And he is and Obama are the 2
biggest phonies running.bill clinton on her side uh she will win against any republican,he will give her the speech to defeat.

Now that must have scared her almost to death. Someone has the nerve to boo her magesty?

Bill Clinton is stealing this election in front of your eyes and there are three reasons why. Firstly he is the only twice-elected Democrat President since Roosevelt and rich Democrats love a winning formula. Secondly, the majority of voters are too stupid to recognise the power of a slick political machine over a genuine candidacy. Thirdly, Bill wants the White House back so his ego can settle the score with the Congress who nailed him on his deceit thus depriving him of his status as a great American President (in his eyes). Wake up America, you're being screwed and this time it ain't a cigar.

People booing Hillary? Are you surprised? I'm not. Maybe when she starts leveling with the us, and stop voting the way George Bush wants her to, maybe then, will the crowds stop booing her. They probably still won't vote for her....but, at least, they will stop booing.

Not only Edwards but Hillary has NOT increased her lead Nationally. The Media, who is Campaigning for her, keeps reporting bogus polls of 300-999 LIKELY voters who do not have cell phones or computers to vote. Just old fashion home phone. Even with that, if you look at 2004. What ever the National poll numbers are around April of 2003 are what they stay at all until people vote. The media just plays numbers games I guess to make it interesting for them. Look it up and you will see that in 2003 Feb –April poll numbers were what the final numbers were for the winners in the Democratic Primary. Clinton is up in April Nationally about 15% and still is at 15%. The 30% 50% 100% NOSENCE reported by the media is just that NONSENCE.

Obama has been Rallying 24,000 to 2,000 folks at his Rallies across the US. With thousands of volunteers on the ground though out the US. Obama has just has raised 2.1 Million in 2 days. He has raised the most primary money than all candidates. Including Hillary. Obama does not need to go negative. When the time is right which is NOW. He will highlight the differences between them. The Media just wants Obama to play by their playbook, which is outdated. As far as the notion that Hillary must make a mistake to lose. No, she has already made enough mistakes in the last 20 years to lose. Obama just has to start pointing them out.

"Now, everybody talks about John Edwards' energy and intellect and charisma. You know, I kind of resent him.

But the important thing is not what talents he has, but how he has used them. He chose - he chose to use his talents to improve the lives of people like him who had to work for everything they've got and to help people too often left out and left behind. And that's what he'll do as our vice president."

-Bill Clinton at the 2004 Democratic convention

"Clinton booed at Edwards rally". Give me a break.

Hillary, bring in a bunch of plants like Edwards did so that you can get the same headline. What a load of bull&@%#!

Edwards esta un idiota... meee meee I share your opinion, mee mee meew ...what a load of bull hockey...

Why can't the candidates keep this on an intelegent level? These juvinile stances are so elementary. Where are the complete thoughts, the identity establishing speaches like we use to get from real presidential material. It's like the "reality show" two brain cell mentality of nothingness. Why don't the public demand more from their candidates than this juvinile squabling over pointless differences.

Just because Hillary is a woman, and Obama is black; does not mean that they need to be the next person making serious decisions for this great country.

It is good Edwards called out Hillary. Is there anything holding her back from saying negative things about Edwards? Mmm...No. She just can't think of anything negative to say about him.

Edwards rules, republicans are tools.

Edwards & Clinton are turds floating in a punch bowel.

Wynter,

Instead of wasting our time by telling us how you see it, why don't you do some research first. Edwards has released many position papers. Maybe you should read some of them. Also, learn the difference from "going negative" and explaining to people what your differences are with another candidate.

I'm not for booing anyone, but I honestly can't believe that people really want another Clinton in the White House.
People, they have had their turn. Both of them! It is time to move on! I for one am so tired of the bickering, fighting and the spliting between parties and Americans. And if Hillary gets in, things will continue to be splintered.
We need a new beginning. Who can lead us to give us as a nation a fresh start? I have my own opinion, however, I just ask that people consider this – We have to move our country beyond the Bush, Clinton, Bush years! It is time for a change, OUR country's future depends on it!

very dangerous people.

constant harping about lealthcare and education.

the issues are terrorism, security and size of military.

th eed & health won't mean anything without security.

"It really doesn't matter.

Hillary will be the next President of the United States.

Why?

The media.

There is no democracy in this country. There is only the illusion of democracy. As long as corporations dictate the politics in this country, the people will continue to be dragged along by whomever the corporations choose to be the next president."
Posted By Sam, Lutz, FL : October 28, 2007 4:14 pm

Exactly Sam, and the sheep that cheer for Clinton like a bunch of dumbfounded preteen girls will be the first ones wringing their hands when she further sends our county into the abyss.

Isnt Obama on a gay hashing tour tonight or a gospel event,its all over the news.talk about contradiction OF
H O P E.Looser he cant stand gays,you don't belong in America Either.Land of the F R E E.he goes against that.John you havent told us anything new you dont like gays either,it makes you uncomfortable,think if we have a war again or disaster again he will be uncomfortable.

Why are liberals such cowards? They mask it as best they can but the only fight they ever seem to feel up for is against their own!

The Democratic Party began with the philosophy that even the little guy should have the same oppurtunities as the biggest guy.
Instead of calling each other names and constant criticisms of party members we should remember that the common goal is regaining the White House and bringing America back to what it can potentially be – the lighthouse to the rest of the world. I am an Edwards supporter but think that every candidate this time has great potential as our leader. It's about American people and the future of this country.

I was a precint captain for Edwards in 2004 and will be so again in 2008. I was at the rally last night in Des Moines and I honestly believe that John Edwards is the best man for the White House. When you see him and hear him in person, and you look into his eyes, you can see the conviction he has, his intelligence to lead the country back to dignity, and the passion to make this county work again for everyone (not just the wealthy). He was correct in calling Hillary out and I applaud him for it. I am a woman but I won't vote for just any woman because it's "time for a woman in the White House." Although Bill Clinton is my hero, I cannot and will not vote for Hillary. And I think if she gets the nomination, we can all resign ourselves to yet another Republican in the White House. Let's not give every illiterate nut in the country the opportunity to come out and vote against Hillary, thereby handing the White House to the Republicans. Go, John Edwards! Obama for VP!

I'm sorry, did Edwards say something new? Seems that he is simply "lip-syncing" his rallys.

Let's not go negative Edwards, it only makes you look bad and gives the democratic nominee a tougher time in the general election.

It's time to give specifics on what "you" will do different than others would do. Not to complain about the positions of others over and over again. It's counterproductive.

Telling it like I see it,
Wynter

yes good ole edwards,he does not understand america,and obama there more like little kids yeah if we get attacked these 2 babys,distort in what they say.hillary wa right in voting for it that tell she is smart,its assumptions as a terroist organization the rev garud,not to go to war,Edawrds and obama man they will be dangerous i dont want to be laying in the ground somewhere..and scrro ron paul hes a nut of a doctor,he doesnt know politics whatsoever.obambi and edwards yeah you go ahead bash Hillary i hope people wake up how edwards and Obambi distort and mess your head all twisted up.they dont understand the bill Kyle/l act...the best palce of where that vote is explain is from mark penn its on hillary site 1st page
scroll down go more and it should be there it explains,read before you make assumptions friend of mine is in politics it does explain it very well,he told me to go read it before i went on edwards twisted facts,and Obamas.he told me people were messed up on it.those are the facts the real facts he told me, and someone in iowa should be smart enough to contradict both of them on it...that they are not right.

Its surprising to read how stupid some of the remarks here are. Even if the US wanted to open another front with Iran, it couldn't do it. Our military might is over-stretched in Iraq and Afghanistan. Diplomacy is the way forward for Iran. Remember, even a termite is good enough to bring down the house.

Neither Edwards or Hillary are related to Dick Cheney. So both are wasting their time. Obama already has the nomination locked up ! Go Obama !! We need another President like Cheney !

The Kyl-Lieberman bill specifically removed a clause that specified it did not give the president authorization for military action. Read the language of the bill.

Hillary didn't try to re-write history by then going for the Webb amendment to add the language back in until after she caught such political heat for her vote.

Her campaign has tried to smear Obama on this by saying he co-sponsored S970 which said the same thing. But this is an out and out lie. S970 spoke of economic sanctions only and specifically reads:

"(8) Nothing in this Act should be construed as giving the President the authority to use military force against Iran."

Kyl-Lieberman's language gives the president all the wiggle-room he needs to attack Iran..the same way she gave him the wiggle room in Iraq. This woman lies and triangulates and most people are too lazy to check out the language of the bills and trace her many positions and maneuverings.

Edwards is right to call her out for what she is. He may have voted for the IWR but he's publicly stated he was wrong. That's called integrity. Hillary has dodged and weaved and never given the same reasoning twice for her vote then and refuses to admit she was wrong. In fact, she parroted the president's 'stay the course' line years into the war.

Her vote on Iraq is NOT old news..it is relevent because she's doing the same exact thing now with Iran. She can try to re-write history all she likes, but some of us are paying attention.

Good for you, John.

These Democratic candidates are so busy pontificating about how great they are; I wish they'd start telling voters what makes them qualified to be President. Oh wait- Edwards doesn't have any executive experience or record that relates to running any organization .

“And then what? I'll give you that…Obama can win the Democratic primary..anything can happen as we've seen in the last two elections…but after he beats Hillary in the Primary he's still got to win the general election …”

Even the faulty poll numbers gave Obama vs. ALL Republican Candidates a win of 47% to 41% etc. That’s just polling homes with phones. That’s is without Obama adding a Vice President pick to further add to his ticket. Such as Al Gore or Barbara Boxer. If you think Obama is not aware the Republicans are going to play the Black Race card, The Muslim Hussein Card, The Fear him card. Then you most be living in a Fairytale.
Obama is an African American who has and always knows he must work 10 times as hard to get what he want in the US. He will be ready for the “Right Wing Conspiracy”

Hillary should be booed every time she walks down the street.

Obama '08

I totally agree with John from Overland Park. Hill and Billary will be in jail within two years of returning to the White House. One for treason, the other for sexual assault. Flip a coin as to which will do which.

Vote RON PAUL...Edwards voted for the war in OCT 2002.

Voted NO on Iraq War
Voted NO on Patriot Act
Voted NO on regulating the Internet
Voted NO on NAFTA and CAFTA
Voted NO on Real ID Act

Has NEVER voted to raise taxes
Has NEVER voted for an unbalanced budget
Has NEVER voted for federal gun restriction
Has NEVER voted to raise congressional pay
Has NEVER taken a government-paid trip

Against a military draft
Against the UN, WTO, GATT

Opts out of lucrative congress pension

To preserve the Constitution
To cut government spending
To lower healthcare costs
To end the war on drugs
To secure our borders

I love John Edwards, but he might as well hang it up while he still has a bit of mojo.

Chaotic Modulation
http://www.YabbaDabbaHubbaDo.com

The Clinton campaign says she voted yes because she is going from primary mode to general election mode? So she's giving Bush another blank check for her own political gain? She doesn't represent the people of NY or this country – only herself. When are people going to pay attention? Why aren't the candidates pointing this out?

The fact is, that if people took the time to review Clinton, Edwards, and Obama's positions and speeches by going to their web pages and actually educating themselves we wouldn't have to do all this arguing. If you went to the campaign sites and asked questions on the campaign blog sites, or looked at the issues being discussed on those campaign blogs you'd get a better feel for what the candidate views are.

Having done this, it is quite clear that Clinton would be last candidate on the democrat side worthy of support.

The cesspool is beginning to grow. Be it the Billary, Obama Yomama, or the Breck girl. They are dangerous people. Give diplomacy a chance ? If my neighbor has raped my wife and set fire to my house I don't negotiate. These Dems are a pack of fools and many Americans are following them don't a Stalinist path.

The amazing thing was that John Edwards could reprimand Hillary for her recent Iran vote with a straight face. As if he had himself never cast a vote (not that he casted many during his six years in the Senate) for political reasons. Good stuff.

Love the comments from those who have never been to IA and feel free to discuss how IA dresses. Also, I love the discussion of how IA and NH are too small to be 'first'. If sheeple wish to be lead by IA/NH instead of making up their own minds, so be it. The coasties will get their share of the $3B in 'campaign-527 ads' shortly along with more of the MSM mush.

I would also gather by the comments that few have ever been to 'rallies' or done the grass roots thing like caucuses, committees, platforms, and conventions.

Gotta say that I haven't picked a candidate yet, but Hil is not on my fav list. The latest 'how phoney' was, "I got it from a survey of focus groups, lobbyists and bundlers, let me hop on the fence and triangulate again" was her statement to 'sorta support Dodd's filibuster' of immunity for all those who broke federal law with 'warrantless wiretapping'. Yes, the 'Iran' vote did matter as did the Iran sanctions and missles in the Warsaw Pact countries.

As a strong supporter of the Military and Defense, I see Hil as a total 'nothing' on the AS Comm. and on the floor. Just more on the cheap. Since she declared for Pres., she does make herself noticed but seems to have no efficacy.

Her Birthday Bash really gave me the creepy crawlies. Miss Goldwater Girl playing the 'Happy B-day Mrs. Pres.' card was so wrong in so many ways. First, as Thompson is no Reagan she is no JFK. And she obviously didn't relate to him 'back in the days', either. Also, the Marilyn Monroe thing relates to 'not the best of the Kennedy meme'. Personally, I found that a little bit more than tasteless.

I didn't support the invasion of Iraq and I want out of there yesterday. But I am also a realist. No one can promise us that they will be out by a date certain, but Hil does promise us 'permanent bases' there. NOT

I will say this about Edwards, he has been ahead of the 'gang' in statements of policy throughout the campaign. Others have followed. Obama sits on the Veteran's Affairs Comm. and has been very disappointingly lax on that committee. However, on the plus side after some consideration he has decided to support Dodd's promise to filibuster.

I will definitely be watching the 'confirmation' of Mukasey.

GO JOHN EDWARDS!! if there was anyone else better for the job as president other than Obama and John!! They are both going to do good while one of them are in office. Clinton need's to go jump off a bridge there's always a going to be a candidate that is 100% going to lose and this year that could be Clinton thank god@

As Voters for the next American President – can we have a Democrat and Republican Debate – to see which Candidates know how many counties are in Iowa and the other states ? Like maybe name it the all important "County Line Debate".

How come all these campaigners expound on their great qualities that would make them a good President of the USA. But none of them say what their response to 911 would have been ? Armchair Politics, or Real Politics ?

Good point Jean Douglass. We think Edwards better get on his bus, and hit every county of the Nation. Then he could be Rudy's Secretary of Counties. Good position for Mr. Edwards.

Really, why doesn't Michelle Obama just run.

Mr. Edwards, have you ever thought about running for Governor of Iowa. Knowing all 99 counties is pretty impressive. That is what I teach my kindergarten class. If you are planning to run for president of the USA, then please inform your voters of what you plan to do as President of USA, not the county surveyor of Iowa.

It is clear that the people posting comments from Texas, Alaska, California, D.C., etc. do not understand a thing about a caucus. Every single precinct and, more importantly, EVERY single township in the sparsely populated counties, gets at least one delegate, usually more. So visiting all of the 99 counties in Iowa to get a face to face committment from people to go to their caucus and stand up for you is a very good strategy. If the supporters of the other candidates do not have a "viable group", that is a certain percentage of the total of attendees, then they are out of the delegate race and their supporters must choose to join another candidate's caucus, or try to form a viable group of "non-committeds". I once chaired a caucus for a township in one of the most conservative Congressional Districts in the country. Only two people showed up and they were for Jesse Jackson. Guess who got the two delegates from Washington Township! You can have all the rock star rallies and fawning national press that you want. This is not a national primary. It does not matter what people answer in polls unless those people are likely caucus attendees in Iowa, every single one of the 99 counties in Iowa!

Hey John, how many counties does Texas, South Carolina, and New Hampshire have total ?

Hey John, how come Ahmoudinejad isn't speaking at any of your rallies ? You losers sound like you want the iranian president as your VIP ? You ain't making no sense. Do you appreciate your American Freedom ? If so, then why are you trying to give it away ?

Take it easy John. Maybe Rudy will find a place for you in his Cabinet. Like "Secretary of Geography" or Secretary of County Lines" or "Secretary of Math". You got that 99 counties thing down good.

Yea, great campaign slogan for Hillary !

"HILLARY WINNING" "losers whining"

Go Hillary.

I am with Edwards. I do not understand Clinton's vote either. It is bad enough she will not admit it was a mistake to give Bush the authority to invade Iraq, but now she is willing to do the same thing with Iran! We do not need a President who tells people different things in different "modes". We need someone who tells the truth no matter who does not like it. A leader persuades others to their point of view, and listens to other points of view as well. It is messy and takes longer, but the country benefits from the work it takes to deal with the truth instead of perceptions. It is sad that Clinton has to worry so much about the perception of being weak because she is a woman, but lying to people about her motives and/or casting votes she does not believe in are not the answer. That is why this woman will be standing up for John Edwards at my Iowa caucus.

I'm not one for the democratic side of the house as I think the majority of you are all loons (the republican side for that matter as well). However, you should reseach this chick Clinton before worshipping her.

Most likely, she will be in jail within a year. Who are you going to route for ole president then? I suggest you either come out and say you will vote for a felon or find another candidate to support. Don't burn any bridges now.

The truth is that Hillary will never win the presidency. The Constitution precludes anyone from serving more than two terms as president and she has already served as our CINC from 92 – 00. It would be intersting to see "Slick Willie" in a dress though!. You liberal whiners don't get it. No matter the media hype surrounding Billary or Barack "Al Qaeda" Obama, niether one will ever be POTUS for one reason: niether one can carry a single state in the South. Oh yes, you will see, that the conservative, traditional minded people of the South will not vote for either one of these two yahoos. Democrats are so benighted! You guys would rather nominate your "gods" than actually nominate an electable candidate such as John Edwards. Trust me, I loathe all Democrat candidates equally, but this is not that hard to figure out. I say nominate your two main goons...and let the Republicans retain the white house for another term.

Brian Jones

Edwards has been campaigning in Iowa for 2 years and all he has to show for his efforts there is a virtual dead heat with Clinton and Obama. His advisors/handlers think that if he wins in Iowa he will be catapulted into front runner status. I hope not.

I have nothing against Iowa or New Hampshire for that matter but really don't like the idea that one or two States can/might be in a position to pick a President for the rest of us.

It really doesn't matter.

Hillary will be the next President of the United States.

Why?

The media.

There is no democracy in this country. There is only the illusion of democracy. As long as corporations dictate the politics in this country, the people will continue to be dragged along by whomever the corporations choose to be the next president.

John Edwards is demonstrating that the politics of negativity really is destructive...TO HIS OWN CAMPAIGN.

The problem is, I don't believe it's the Dems that are going the way of trash and bash Hillary, it's the Repub bloggers.

I'm no blogger but I might become one if that's what is required to mitigate the right wing 'wingnuts' that spew their hate crap in venues such as this.

Anyone who takes the time and energy to look at Hillary's career, will see someone who should be viewed as a hero, not a villan.

I recently argued a position with a Repub friend who had a fortified position on the issue being discussed. It became obvious very quickly, their fortification was a deaf ear to any contrary dialogue. Through my frustration I commented "A closed mind gathers no knowledge".

My Repub friend told me to perform a specific act upon myself and walked out the door.

My point is, many, (like my Repub friend) who write this trash Hillary crap, are probably umbilicallly connected to the Fox (Nonsencical)News Network, and listen no further than propagandized talking points vetted by the extreme right wing of the Republican party, and regurgitaded by the Fox Network, and that's too bad.

Hillary Clinton will approach the potentially catastrophic situation(s) we face nationally, and that face us globally, with ability, diplomacy, strength and courage.

If we Democrats buy into this trash and burn manner of politics, we all loose.

Let's kick some Repub booty...VOTE HILLARY 2008!

RODNEY KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT.

I'm sorry to have to be the one to break it to you, John, but you're not going to be president. Not now, not ever. Find some other way to serve the public good, and stop bashing members of your own party.

JohN Edwards is the obvious Democratic Candidate, he can win!

Hillary is a machine!

John, please put it in fast forward so you can win!

I think the Libs need a rally to beg for more Welfare and other handouts.....what a pathetic bunch.

BUGGIE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

If Hillary Clinton becomes the Democratic nominee, the Republicans won't have to run a negative campaign against her. They can just hire disenchanted Democrats to continue doing it for them.

Hillary is a divider, not a healer.

THAT WAS A TEST..SORRY

edwards would be a phenomenal leader for this country–and the world!

BOO hillary! although if it unfortunately comes down to her and the vile rudy, she gets MY vote!

edwards has got to somehow get lots more money to beat the clinton machine.

Good! Hillary Clinton should have been booed because of that! If all the Edwards haters here cannot handle this, wait until it's just her versus the Republicans! They are going to have a field day (they already are- did you catch their last debate?)-
WHY CAN'T DEMOCRATES NOMINATE THE BEST CHOICE? THAT WOULD BE JOHN EDWARDS! BUT NO, WE WILL ALL BE CRYING WHEN, ONCE AGAIN, WE LOSE AND WE JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT...AGAIN.......
Believe it, Democrats, Vote for Edwards or we will lose....again.
You've been warned. Do not cry when she loses!!!!!!!

What this country needs is a candidate with a vast knowledge of foreign affairs and a plan to get us out of this war. We also need a candidate that has a track record of bringing both partys together to get a bill thru. We need a candidate who can talk straight with us. We need a candidate who can bring in the Independent voter and the moderate Republican voter. Hillary has to much baggage ..Republicans use her for fundraising. Do you really think they will work with her ? There is too much bitterness. I also think Obama and Edwards are decent men but there lack of experience isn't what this country need at this time in history. Joe Biden is the best candidate by far. He has the leadership,experience and values that this country needs.

Craig A. Carroll Hastings, MN: Craig are blind or delusional or on drugs or Senator Craig's close follower? Which potential presidential candidate told you they will pull out of Iraq now? Obama and Edwards both said they will stay in Iraq till 2013 along with Hillary. What's the difference? Nothing like you jumped up and down to reach the conclusion. Nah, it's called "Kind of hard since it doesn't exist".

Well all you Hillary shills. Would you care to tell me the difference between HRC and GWB. Kind of hard since it doesn't exist. No MORE dynasties folks. I will not support the Bushes and the Clintons using the White House as a time share mansion. You want four more years of Iraq and heaven knows how much more of our precious blood spilled you support HRC. Count me OUT.

Posted By Craig A. Carroll Hastings, MN : October 28, 2007 11:57 am

I, for one, am fed up by the consistent use of such childish campaign tactics and practices – by both the Democrats and Republicans.

I had really expected that we’d see more emotional integrity and maturity from our political candidates this time around.

Especially from the Democrats. Especially by those candidates who repeatedly ‘demand’ political change, integrity and equality for all. When are any of these folks going to put their money where their mouths are, and start backing up their words by their actions? The world is waiting...

All I've seen and heard so far is just more of the same old adolescent campaign tactics; name calling, finger pointing and use of fear. Can someone please explain to me how this behavior is any different than that of the Bush administration? Of elementary school children for that matter? How can anyone be expected to take these folks seriously?

Although I haven’t made up my mind who I am going to vote for, I have noted that so far, Hillary Clinton seems to be the only candidate who hasn’t relied on mudslinging in order to get her point across.

Interesting behavior by someone who is repeatedly and consistently accused of being too ‘emotional’ to lead this nation.

Who is John Edwards?

- He couldn't win reelection to the senate.

- He couldn't carry his own state in 2004.

John Edwards: LOSER!!!

America has never been referred to as "Homeland" in its 230-year long history as a Republic, err, 223-years, until Bush Sr Gangster's took over, creating a stealth Neo-Socialist Gov-Corp Soviet Politburo of Endless-Deficit-and-Spend.

Look at our soaring national deficits! Your grandchildren will!! Now DoD/DHS says $196B more for "Iraq, Afghanistan AND OTHER UNDISCLOSED NATIONAL SECURITY PURPOSES". Say wha!? 200% of 2007's war budget!? We're pulled back to Baghdad, Basra's radio-silent, and Kirkuk is doing independent oil deals for Hunt!

What's the additional $100B going for?
Where is our surge dividend?! Where is their war audit?! Where are our taxes going?! Down the rat hole of Homeland Security / Private Defense Contracts!

DHS / TSA is metastasizing like a foul plague across America, tapping into the Neo-Con deficit-fund pool, and waging domestic Cold War upon all of US. We must act to stop it while we still can!

Vote all the incumbents out in 2008, (except for Charlie Wrangell)! Wow!!

I'm an independent. I plan to vote for the Democrat for President this time, unless it is Hillary. If it is Hillary, I will vote for either the Republican (depending on who it is) or a third-party.

I have had enough of the Bushes and Clintons. Time to end this dynasty!

Man I love it when liberals attack each other.

Good job John Edwards. I am an Obama supporter, but if you were to get the nomination, I would vote for you.

If Hillary gets the nomination, I will vote against her.

The UN inspectors, who were right about not invading Iraq as there was no concrete evidence of WMD, are also saying there is no concrete evidence in Iran nor have they been given evidence of any reason for bombing Syria.

The American citizens are potentially going to be duped again and once again they will go it alone and make the mess in the Middle East even worse. The rhetoric is pushing Iran into a corner and will alienate Iranians who are pushing for freedoms.

Clinton and every Republican running for president are not equipped with the diplomatic agenda this world needs so badly.

If Hillary Clinton is to be considered for the Presidency, she should IMMEDIATELY demand that her husband open up her archives in the Clinton library. Why the secrecy? What is she trying to hide? While standing on the stage next to men whose experience dwarfs hers (namely, Sens. Biden and Dodd and Gov. Richardson), she contends that she is the most prepared to serve on Day One. This must be predicated on her experience as First Lady.

If this is true, then she should prove it by the immediate release of her archives. Otherwise we need to ask her: If Sen. Clinton cannot trust the American public with knowledge of her work as First Lady, why should we trust her with the Presidency???

I agree with Lance in Monrovia CA. I started out as a Hillary supporter. I was and am a fan of her husband's presidency, was pumped about the idea of a woman president, agree with her stance on health care, etc. etc.

But bottom line, she's too much like George W Bush when it comes to foreign policy. Perpetuating the existing foreign policy will not recapture the greatness our nation lost under Bush, and it makes no sense to vote for anyone who wants to do that.

Failed policies need to be changed, not repeated.

"All this should prompt Iowa and New Hampshire to Vote for a Candidate that does NOT take their votes for granted. Obama is the better choice as he has the Primary money to continue defeating HILLARY AFTER Iowa and New Hampshire hands Hillary a decisive DEFEAT. There by showing Hillary and any future Candidates NOT to take Iowa and New Hampshire votes for granted."

And then what? I'll give you that...Obama can win the Democratic primary..anything can happen as we've seen in the last two elections...but after he beats Hillary in the Primary he's still got to win the general election ...which lets not forget is the ultimate goal..you are sadly mistaken if you think Obama is gonna stand up with his eperience or lack thereof issue once the Republicns get a hold of him. Stop livig in the fairytale world of the Obama campaign and join us serious folk that bottom line want a Dem in the WH and want the best candidate that has the best chance of accomplishing that.... Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Wow, I think John Edwards is gonna bite Hillary's head off at the next debate. He sure doesn't appreciate her going general election mode. And any red blooded voting American shouldn't appreciate it either because what it says is that Hillary's really thumbing her nose AT THE VOTES AND THE VOTERS, just like George Bush did in 2000 when he refused to count the votes of the American people and the Supreme Court landed him in the white house. Frankly, I wouldn't even think about voting for any candidate who appeared so sure-fire cocky as to want to snub the primary voters in her own mind and has already sailed an entire year ahead to general election when not one primary has occurred yet. She does not deserve to be president carrying on this way.

Poor Edward can't vote and when he voted in the past his votes were worse. Obama played a political game by not voting so he can run either way air blows.
MR OBAMA PUBLIC PAY YOU TO WORK FOR THE COUNTRY; YOUR JOB TO DEBATE AND INVOLVE IN NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL ISSUES THAT PEOPLE CARE; YOU EVEN DIDN'T GIVE TIME TO DISCUSS ABOUT the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, NOW YOU ARE AGAINST IT BECAUSE LITTLE BIT AIR BLOWING AGAINST IT. YOU OPPORUNIST!
Iranian Revolutionary Guard ISSUE WHO has killed innocent Iraqi's and has killed American soldiers.

I can't think about having Eward or Obama- as a president who don't respect national interest and care our shoulder.

Mr. Edwards,

It has become clear to America that you have nothing to offer other than criticism and negativity. We have understood for many months now that you don’t like anything Mrs. Clinton does and that is fine. However, you have continually displayed your inability to come up with a plan for America or even one original, viable idea that will help this country. You have become so very out of touch with the issues that are important to voters. Pointing your finger and stamping your little feet just proves to everyone that you have the intellect, comprehension and maturity of a two year old. What it does not do is tell us where you would take this country, but we can all see the writing on the wall, and you are not what this country wants or needs.

It is no surprise that you “didn’t understand it” when Mrs. Clinton voted to label the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. If you truly do not understand, it is because you are a simpleton. The vote clearly is a way to avoid military action and put strong sanctions in place. It does not give Bush war powers and it is not a precursor to war. You are obviously either stupid or are misrepresenting the facts to sway your handful of supporters to continue to support your collapsing campaign. The majority of voters, however, see you for what you are; desperate.

Fortunately for America, Americans are smarter and better informed than you think they are. What the majority of Americans understand is that you will not be the Democratic nominee and ultimately it will not matter what you say about your Democratic rivals or anyone else, because you have already been written off. You are no longer a viable candidate and you will be remembered as nothing more than a bitter, angry footnote to the 2008 Presidential race.

Hillary is winning, and edwards is whinning!

BTW, john edwards, you should start packing because your days as a presidenital nominee will be finished in few months.

Well all you Hillary shills. Would you care to tell me the difference between HRC and GWB. Kind of hard since it doesn't exist. No MORE dynasties folks. I will not support the Bushes and the Clintons using the White House as a time share mansion. You want four more years of Iraq and heaven knows how much more of our precious blood spilled you support HRC. Count me OUT.

John,son – give it up. You and Barake need to start campaining for cabinet post. Don't po the Hillary.

Ebbs, Newport News, VA :

What executive experience do ANY of the candidates have? Hillary is the only one that has actually lived in the White House for 8 years. I quite certain she was made aware of the issues that went on. I quite certain Bill Clinton spoke to her about these situations to get advise. A man gets advise from his wife quite often. No other candidate has any experience other than being a Senator or a governor. Giuliani didn't even make it to Congress. Point of the story is.....none of them have executive experience but Hillary has atleast been there.

Clinton is a loser, period.

Heres another sure chance that the democrats will have p***ed down the toilet again, vote for hillary and make romney prez

vote for Bill Mair (L) for prez

Edwards is right on the money. Hillary's vote is really dumb considering her support for Bush's war on Iraq.
Hasn't she learned her lesson?

And, naming an army terrorist is ridiculous. The U.S., by illegally occupying Iraq has no legitimate claim to call any other group opposing it there, terrorist.

Hillary operates from the mindset that the U.S. has the right to go anywhere it wants, do anything it wants, like the whole world is our playground. Well, one of these days that attitude is going to get us all killed.

That's if she doesn't irradiate us all first with her pro nuke support she announced in a South Carolina rally on March 29. google it.

Can you tell me the difference between a "non-binding resolution", and a "joint resolution?"

Looks like you can't.

This is only a big issue to those with reading comprehension problems, those who failed social studies and or civics, and of course, Edwards and Obama supporters.

As a Hillary supporter, I truly enjoy the extent to which her detractors tend to imbue her and her campaign with super-powers...

Former senator Edwards has a single state strategy that has now been eclipsed by Stephen Colbert. What else is there to say?

To Lance-Your hero is running 30 points behind...

This man has lost this election. Now he is losing his character.

What executive experience did GW have? He was govenor of Texas but as a Texan, I can tell you he didn't do anything here to gain experience.

I think the title of this article change. It looks like JRE was booed, when in reality Hillary was booed. The artivle should read Hillary Clinton booed at Edwards rally.

We're going to have a real election all right, and you're gonna come in 3rd or 4th in Iowa. Face it, John, you're not gonna be the nominee. Bashing your own party isn't doing anubody any good.

Hey Matt from Port Hueneme, CA., EXACTLY what executive experience does Hillary have?

Another one so busy criticizing everyone else he doesn't bother to tell us his solution to all the problems Bush will leave us with. Not voting for him either.

" At a rally Saturday night touting the fact that he's been to every Iowa county..."

HOW ABOUT PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO THE REST OF THE STATES!!!!!!

I'm so glad people are finally starting to notice Hillary's absurdities! The media loves quick tagline politics which is why the Kyl-Lieberman bill keeps being wrongly referred to as "the Iran-terrorist bill". It's not JUST about calling the Revolutionary Guard terrorists. It also links troop levels in Iraq to Iran! See for yourself below and READ the bill's text for yourself!

Obama and Edwards's issue is not calling the Iran Revolutionary Gaurd terrorists, an idea both agree with. THe bill Obama voted for last April EXPLICITLY said that the bill was NOT justification to attack Iran. Obama and Edwards's issue is linking TROOP LEVELS in Iraq to Iran. And, there is NO explicit statement baring an attack, in fact, there are explicit statements that support military actions. THAT is what the Kyl-Lieberman bill very clearly does. It also VERY CLEARLY says that the US may use "military instruments" against Iran. Hillary is a spin-master. Read the key text from the actual resolution for yourself:

(3) that it should be the policy of the United States to combat, contain, and roll back the violent activities and destabilizing influence inside Iraq of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, its foreign facilitators such as Lebanese Hezbollah, and its indigenous Iraqi proxies;
(4) to support the prudent and calibrated use of all instruments of United States national power in Iraq, including diplomatic, economic, intelligence, and military instruments, in support of the policy described in paragraph (3) with respect to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies;

Edwards should try to compliment his $400. hair cut with his wardrobe!
Any man that would show up for a Rally even in Iowa, as a Presidential Candidate in this outfit is an insult to the Presidential Office of the USA.

Check out the Belt! Was he planning on helping the Farmers in Des Moines after insulting his two lead Candidates?

Or was this just maybe his attempt at pretending to be a regular John to appeal to Des Moines folk?

He should remember that George Dubyah is a cowboy and it hasn't won him any favour among Americans.

And he definietly should read the book on how to dress casually in denim with class. He looks like Uncle Clem from the 50's! The only thing missing is his straw hat. I guess that woulda messed up his hair do so he decided against it. What a Bonifide Joke!

Howz the Corn and Tatters doin Johnny?

I want to hear Bush, Cheney, McCain and Lieberman booed at Edwards' rallies.

It's the Republicans, stupid.

Edwards seems like a pretty charming guy, but with statements like this it's easy to see why reasonable voters can't take him seriously. We've tried diplomacy with Iran, repeatedly, but all they understand is the sword. Heck, the whole reason they're in a position to pose a threat to global security in the first place is because we tried to play nice after the radical fundies took over. Unfortunately, Reagan's America–which they rightfully feared–was too wrapped up in the one-war-one-enemy mentality to nip it in the bud, which brings us to the present situation.

Foreign policy is mostly handled by the White House, and serious contenders to the presidency have got to make clear how they intend to handle the Iran situation. Ignoring the problem won't cut it, too many voters remember 1979.

but.....when she wins the Democrats nomination...they will line up like sheep and defend all of the crap that surrounds her....(excellent principles...)

I think the main point everyone needs to remember is that throughout her "career", up to and including the present, Hillary has waffled on most major issues. Her goal isn't defined by resolution of any of today's issues. Her goal is to be President, no more and no less. Hill and Bill are a team dedicated to power, and nothing stands in their way.

This country will never be the same if Hillary sits in the big house. Prepare for toilet-paper lines.

To all those who criticize Clinton's vote: do you not want to sanction Iran for allowing a terrorist organization in its country. THe Iranian Revolutionary Guard has killed innocent Iraqi's and strived to kill American soldiers. I think Hillary's vote was the right one, and it's a shame that John Edwards and Barack Obama are trying to appease their liberal backers by saying no to all war. They'd lose horribly in the general election.

I do not think Sen. Clinton will be asking Mr. Edwards to be veep. Just a gut feeling.

Yep...you dont understand it, and thats why you should not be in the White House.

How does a vote labeling the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization equate to a vote for war? This is a prime example of politics in action. Attempting to mislead the public on the record of other candidates for personal gain.

Leadership is about more than attacking another candidate.

Check the voting history of candidates and ask them why they didn't vote on substantial numbers of bills or the reason they voted against bills dealing with homeland security, bridge repair, health care issues, or how they plan to make America stronger and a better place to live while protecting it from its enemies.

To Tamira

Hillary wants the troops home.. by 2012. Hillary said she learned her lesson from voting yes to the Iraq war, yet she voted for the kyle/lieberman bill, giving Bush the authorization to go to war under an assumption. Hillary has all these great plans that cost billions of dollars – how can she afford this if she wants to stay in the middle east and also not give the american people a clear answer on economic problems?
Are people stupid enough not to see what is going on? She voted FOR THE PATRIOT ACT!!!! I do not want this person representing me.

Now that ALL the paid Hillary bloggers have stacked the front of the comments with rhetoric. The fact is that Hillary made a critical error with her vote “Yes” to Kyl-Lieberman amendment that will lead as an Authorization to give Bush the ok to attack Iran. Nothing can be done to take Hillary’s vote back. Just like Hillary’s vote “Yes” for Iraq War authorizing Bush to invade Iraq. I guess if “She knew then what she knows now”.
That plus her and the Media Crowning her the Winner of the Primary and Hillary NOW Campaigning for the General Election and Hillary keeping her name on the Michigan ballot in a snub to Iowa and New Hampshire. All this should prompt Iowa and New Hampshire to Vote for a Candidate that does NOT take their votes for granted. Obama is the better choice as he has the Primary money to continue defeating HILLARY AFTER Iowa and New Hampshire hands Hillary a decisive DEFEAT. There by showing Hillary and any future Candidates NOT to take Iowa and New Hampshire votes for granted.

Two important questions for you John, are you related to Dick Cheney, and how many counties are their in Iran ? Also, what exactly would you do, if Iran attacked the USA, such as others have ?

Hillary Clinton has the Strength and Experience to make real change happen. It must be really easy for Former Senator Edwards to criticize her because he doesn't have the responsibility of actually having to vote. And wait a minute, if this was such a big vote, then why wasn't both Obama and Edwards speaking out against the amendment before hand? Oh, and why didn't Obama get off the campaign trail to vote against it? I think a new kind of politics they are claiming to be practicing is just more of same Washington game playing.

If it wasn't for the fact that Hillary in the Senate working with Senator Webb to add an amendment that says the President must go to congress to ask for approval to go to war with Iran, then this argument by Senator Obama and FORMER Senator Edwards could of had some legs. To bad for them she's actually working in the Senate to make sure the President can't take us into another misguided war.

Hillary Clinton is ready to lead from day ONE. Edwards and Obama can keep trying to attack her because she is dominating each of them in ALL of the Polls. I can't wait till Hillary wins the Democratic nomination and both Edwards and Obama are out campaigning for her telling the voters how great she is. I love politics.

99 counties is great John, can you do it twice and call it 198 counties ? Or maybe three times, and call it 297 counties ? That would really sound impresive and Presidential.

Good Job John, by the time you get done traveling to every county in every state, Hillary will have had 4 years of Presidency, and we will be looking for 4 More Years, 4 More Years. Are you advertising for GoodYear Tires, or running for President of the USA. I hope you aren't biking to all these counties to counter Global Warming. Chelsea might be President by the time you got done. Oh, and John, you aren't related to Dick Cheney.

Lorenz: What exactly do you mean, in saying Hillary is a "lier" ?

Borandi - do professionals also change their beliefs when moving from "primary mode to general election mode"? Do professionals read classified FBI files of their opponents and arranged for the deaths of people who threaten to expose their real estate misdeeds? Perhaps you also think professionals ought to ignore these kinds of things when other people do them...

Sure, have Obama / Edwards for 08, and have Ahmoudinejad speak at their nomination and assist them in their foriegn policy decisions. Sounds like you got it about right. Go Hillary !

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is still running ahead in the latest NH primary poll released today.

You may as well as been asleep in NC, as much good as your campaigning is going to do you.

People boo at soccer games. Professionals run for President. I guess that is the difference between Hillary and Edwards.

And they aren't a terrorist organization ? What is Edwards going to do ? Have Ahmoudinejad speak at his nomination ? So what would Edwards response have been to 911 ? Milk and cookies with Bin Laden ?

Attaboy John! I hope Barack has a little bit of whatever Iowa tapwater you've been drinking. We need people out there letting others know how dangerous Hillary could be to this country and how untrustworthy she is.

Every county in Iowa ? So what ? I have been to every country on the Planet. Does that make me qualified to be President ? No. In otherwords, that Edwards might understand. Hillary is much more qualified to be President. Perhaps Edwards should be a Surveyor or Geographer, since he knows county lines so well.

Hillary is a lier. She lost all respect from me a long time ago.

If Iranians insurgents are helping kill our military personnel, then the terrorist label on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard will put pressure on them to back off. Attacking their money with sanctions is smart action, not war-like action. She is trying to do SOMETHING to help our troops as they fight and die.
WHAT HAS EDWARDS DONE?

The Iran vote was a mistake, yes, but more significantly for progressives, it demonstrated that Senator Clinton views the world in much the same way as does President Bush.

I would not predict the same level of irresponsiblity–but no one could match Bush in that department.

The serious and disqualifying trait that Senator Clinton displays is a stubborn view of America as the "tough guy police." Much in the mold of Senator Lieberman, she cannot imagine a new and necessary change from America's current dead-end policy to a new American policy of transformative leadership.

The old posture is what has gotten us into the worldwide quagmire in which our leverage is zero with most nations.

Remember Democrats–Senator Clinton not only "voted for" the Iraq war, but continues "defend" her decision, and continued to "defend the war itself" until last year!

The recent Iran vote is merely indicative of her thirst for cross-over Republican appeal–at the expense of progressive change.

I honestly don't think she cares about progressives because at heart she remains the Republican she was when she campaigned for Republicans in the 1960's.

I disagree w/ you Lance...I think the ticket should be Edwards/Obama 08 & 12, then in 8 years we would have a model president through Barack, just like Al Gore would have been. I agree Iran is a threat, but we need to try *diplomacy* first.

This man will now say anything to try and turn the tide as he sinks in the polls.

I hope that Iowa caucus goers are smarter than he gives them credit for, and can see past his lies an empty rhetoric.

I voted for former Senator Edwards in 2004. What was I thinking?

What a loser.

Hillary Clinton '08.

Hillary Clinton is making the same mistakes in judgement today that she made in 2002. George Bush is saying exactly the same things he said in 2002 about Iraq now about Iran. they have WMDs. They are an "imminent threat." We have "sanctions" against them and "if others wont stop him, we will."

Hillary Clinton + George Bush = WWIII.

Vote to change the world for the better.

Obama/Edwards in 08.

Take these two seriously, they're the future.

Edwards and Obama have every right to point out differences in their and Hillary's philosophies and ideas. If this, however, is now the mainstay of their campaigns then they have lost...and they know it (especially when there is so much distortion in their rhetoric).
