Her ego is larger than Bill's and that is something to say. Just because she is consumed by power, doesn't mean she will be elected to the highest office in the US. Here's the deal - When Hilary finds truth, speaks from a place of truth, that is when she might have a chance as US President, but not until then. And by the looks of her track record, truth is not in her vocabulary, which is such a shame because she is a bright woman with an awful, searing laugh. Find truth Hilary, speak truth and only then will you receive female supporters coming out of the woodwork for you. Last nights debate was a great example of Hilary OFF-TRACK-FROM-TRUTH, so sad.

I felt sorry for Richardson (I guess it is more and more clear, he's eying VP position in Clinton ticket the same way Edwards was eying it in 2004 and thus was avoiding personal attacks), they didn't ask him much questions. Biden/Dodd and, in particular Kucinich are clear "also runs" so who cares. But Obama's and Edwards attacks were more appropriate for general elections debates (who's in general election mode?) with clear desperation from inability to shake Clinton. A lot of personal attacks or blowing a "no issues" into the major problems. Clinton appeared deliberately avoiding messing into the fight. Overall, this reminded me a couple of lap-dogs running around the legs of a lion - with the same effect. Hillary 2008 I watched the debates.

I'm sure most of the people in these unions love it because they can do absolutely nothing and get paid way too much money to do it. Just like the democrats feel compelled to hand out everything to other people who just imagine they're in these unions, do absolutely nothing and feel that they should get paid too.

NOOOOO. I still don't understand these unions backing Hillary. She supports NAFTA (exports jobs - hurting unions). She doesn't want to deport illegal immigrants (driving down the cost of labor). The only rationale I can possibly see: Hillary will attempt to fast-track legalization of illegal immigrants who will then promptly join unions. Hillary get's 10-15 million more "voting" constituents and unions line their pockets. Union endorsing a Democrat?? NOOOOO.
