WARNING THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IS REDICULOUS AND BASELESS

("Hillary is ready to lead").

Not to simply bash a particular candidate but this is something that I just cannot understand. Anyone, Hillary supporter or not, please show me ANYTHING that supports that statement. WHAT HAS SHE LEAD?!? What great accomplishment can you point to that supports that statement? Being a former first lady and being a politically active person does not make you a leader, I have seen nothing from Hillary that shows she has an ounce of leadership skills within her, yet her supporters run around like she lead us through the great depression or a world war. She isn't that great people. Remember, just because a candidate shares your similar viewpoints doesn't mean they have what it takes to lead congress to get anything done about those issues.

DBA: The ABC/Washington Post poll released over the weekend has Hillary at 57% vs. Romney; 56% vs. Thompson, 52% vs. McCain, and 50% vs. Giuliani.

Still baffled by Hillary supporters....its like they are blinded to everything she is....very much like a cult leaders followers are to them...if she asks you guys to "wear black Nikes and wait for the comet" – don't do it....(wait...on second thought...maybe she does know something...)

The newest polls show that in general election matchups- Mrs. Clinton wins, but is unable to get higher thatn 49% in any matchup.

Edwards and Obama are both able to get over 50% in some matchups.

Also, crucial independents are still favoring Obama over Clinton.

Mrs. Clinton may need to bring Ross Perot out of retirement to get elected.

I'm hoping the good people of Iowa are taking a good look at the candidates – I was so disappointed in their past straw poll that favored Mitt – simple because he bought and paid for their vote with BBQ pork.

We don't need a President that you "can sit down and have a beer with." We don't need someone who "looks presidential." We don't need anyone willing to hug Bush.

The field is wide open. I hope we will elect someone who finally puts the good of the country before the good of their political party.

Iowa – you need to put some thought into this if you want to be the first ... its a huge responsibility, not to be taken lightly.

Just watch what happens in Iowa . I have nothing else to do this week, so Im going to also be keeping all eyes on Iowa. Go Barack !

at this time four years ago, everyone was saying get use to President Dean. Polls are irrelevant at this point, especially the national ones.

If Hillary or Obama became President, we would roll into some of the darkest days the country has ever known. It would start with bankruptcy.
Please see the light and vote for Ron Paul.

Funny – I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday, who's a Libertarian. He said that he thought if Ron Paul did not get the GOP nomination (and right now, he seems to have a snowball's chance in Hell of getting it), he'd run as a Libertarian. And he's drain enough votes away from the GOP nominee to hand the election to the Democrats.

So you folks better start getting used to the phrase "President Hillary Clinton". It's beginning to look more and more inevitable. (Although I'd prefer Barak Obama...)

That's funny, Earl, because I'm from Ohio too and last I saw she's got 45% here. She also leads polls versus the GOP here. Ohio is a blue state now, and Ohio loves Hillary. So please don't let anyone think differently. Go vote in the Republican primary, then watch Giuliani lose big time.

hillary is going to be the next president i am so excited . obama that sounds like a terriost name good god. go girl go .

Hillary won't win in Ohio, because we don't have enough illegal immigrants to vote for her with their illegal driver's licenses.

Sorry Hillary. You're not Bill, nor will you ever be. Keeping dreaming, because you're not "our girl".

Wolf Blitzer, like his colleague Bill Schnedider, must be reading an older poll of Iowa U showing that Obama was only 2 pts (28 vs 26)behind Hillary in Iowa – "the new weakness". However, the most current poll by ARG showed that Obama was 10 pts behind her (32 vs 22) in Iowa.

Obama, like Romney, go for broke in Iowa and other early primary states by spending a lot of money on ads to get votes. Romnye appears to succeed in leading these early states, while Obama does not.

Where is Hillary's "new weakness"? The new ABC poll and Rasmussen daily tracking dispute that. Also, "new weakness" implies there's an old weakness, whereas she's clearly led the pack all year as being most prepared to lead. The real "new weakness" is the steady and substantial increase in Obama's negatives (the ABC poll).

The next time the droning Wolfman says to a guest "let me interrupt you," I hope the guest says "no, I haven't completed my response and would appreciate your courtesy in allowing me to finish," in the very effective way that Nina Totenberg did today on Inside Washington, by repeating "if I may finish" two or three times until her colleagues finally let her. I'm tired of the pompous and arrogant talking heads like Chris Matthews cutting off rational discourse, something civlized hosts like Tim Russert or George Stephanopoulos hardly ever do. You'd never get away with this behavior in court, where the rule is "one person speaks at a time."
