CNN

Hillary is shooting herself in the foot again. For the second time in a week one of her supporters has made a false allegation against Obama.

She has got to get rid of that smirk.

I like her polls more than Obama or any other canadates's polls.

She is in to win, and I can see fire in her belly, that I dont find in other candidates.

EXACTLY why this conservative (who would vote for Condi in a heartbeat)

As would I along with Liz Dole, who has real experience in business and government and charitable endeavours.

So much for "us" being afraid of strong women.

We don't hate a strong woman, just the "wrong" woman........

hey if you want it posted LIE about ademocrats

that is true cnn don't post very mush truth about republicans

YAY HILLARY '08

America has got no moral standing.
Why are they so foolish and dirty?

It sounds like Hillary Clinton would have us believe that she was the president or maybe she is campagning for her husband. He was the president not her. In my job my wife and I communicate a lot but she doesn't take credit for my work and I don't take credit for hers. I do not consider Bill Clinton's experience as president as experience for Hillary and I hope the voters don't either.

Here's a reality check for Reality King and all those who attribute the great economy of the Clinton years to the Neo-cons::

Bill Clinton got rid of the Federal deficit IN SPITE of the Republicans in the Senate. Refer to his Deficit Reduction Bill of 1993.

Not a single Republican Senator voted for it which means that if the Neo Cons held the majority in 1993 we would have had a continuous(and growing) deficit from 1992-NOW.
Scary isn't it?

Hillary? – Never!

Hi hillary are you not worried about the polls because the vote may be fixed????
Your socialistic budgets are full of pork , the people don't want it... tell me how are you going to get rid of the patriot act , thats what i want to hear about.... you can keep you rsocialistic health plans.

the people of iowa and new hampshire are very lucky to have the postion of leading the momentum for any candidacy ,by voting a frontrunner in sets the sails for strong beginning and influencing the rest of the nation who should be trusted to lead our party in this fall elections , i have watched the strength and resiliency hillary clinton has shown ,with every candidate pulling out there best efforts to be the front runner she has been steadfast and resolute in what she believes in and the energy she has to take on such an important position in these times we live in . the respect and credibility she can bring back to the white house and to our country and for the guidance the world is looking for from our leadership and humanity . i urge all who ask themselves who is the person that is bold and determined to care about our country first and bring us back to shining star the that every person can be proud to say america is every thing we dreamed and hope it could be.

*****Question of the day:

If Bill Clinton thinks his wife is 'the single most qualified person for president in America,' isn't he by virtue of this saying:

1. there are no black men or women in the entire country more qualified than his white, very wealthy wife.

2. there are no Hispanic men or women in the entire country who are smarter than a woman who flunked her first attempt to pass the bar exam.

3. there are no Asian men or women who are more qualified than a woman who last year made a joke about Ghandi having worked at a gas station.

4. there are no lesbian or gay people in the entire country more qualified than a woman who says she wants equal rights for all, but cuts them off with a 'civil union' cop-out.

5. there are no disabled persons in the entire country more qualified than Hillary.

Get the idea–the very demographic these two use to propel their 'careers' are never a part of their lilly white upper class political machines or cabinets.

EXACTLY why this conservative (who would vote for Condi in a heartbeat) made America's only politically confrontative music CD-one that takes on Hillary, Congress, and the whole Ward Churchill crowd. One-of-a-kind stuff @

Hillary...Is...Part..Of..The..Illuminati...Check...It..Out...On..You...Tube..It..SOunds..conspiracy...But...iluminati..Plans..On...destroying....America

Can you see Hillary's nose growing in this picture? In reference to poll she says, "I just don't pay attention.." What!? I was ONCE a Hillary supporter, and for months all she did was refer to polls showing her in the lead, particularly when asking for donations. I still have the emails saved to prove it! As former Clinton friend David Geffen said earlier in the campaign, "It's not that the Clinton's lie, it's that they do so so easily."

The only "pole" Hillary should be concerned about is the one that came attached to her philandering husband.

Oh, that's right... They're "all better" now!

hillary did alot while bill was prez ,.,.she traveled the world on womens issue n child care.,,.hillary works for the people not the profit,..,what i find interestiong is that hillary r driving the sexist mad ,.,.go get em hillary,.women rule forever n always get over it get on with it ,.,.txtj

Rose Hann New London:

WHY are we (non clinton supporters) mean to Hillary? Hum... Maybe her RECORD! Maybe HER POLITICS. MAYBE A MILLION OTHER REASONS!

Stop playing the gender nonsense, I don't dislike her for being a woman any more than you are not voting for Obama because he is black.

Is the best you have is to call people sexist for not supporting clinton?

Fact is to me she is cut from the same DLC cloth as Lieberman and this country needs change. This country needs leadership.
last great Democratic President:
Kennedy... next one is Obama. It is about time the Democrats started being leaders again

Go for it Hillary, Your husband did a great job when he was president the country was on the right track. I believe you can bring our sweet America back together and boost up the economy that's been colapse for so long

It must be fate?
I'm not worried about Clinton in the polls either.
She is dam good @ criticizing!
Can she do anything else?
Oh ya,, Toot her own Horn(B flat is her favorite note)
We need someone who can at least find
Middle "C" Just look into them there eyes/don't she just scare the day lights out of YOU!!We need a fresh start and not a rerun. The old soap opera in the White House was imoral at best. She is just plain power hungry and the American People are just smart enough to know enough, that the same old/ same old/ is history.

Interesting. Are you a woman named Henry?? Or are you tryin' to kid us a little, Henry?

Hillary for President, '08 & '12!!!!

No confidence in Hillary. She definitely lacks the honesty to lead. Switching my vote to Obama for sure. That rally with Oprah and Obama was really nice and refreshing. If you have not heard Obama speaking in person, you should really hear him. I AM VERY IMPRESSED. I would be proud to have him as our next President!!

Hillary-Just stay positive and continue to voice your hopes to provide change. The press has done their best to discredit you but you will prevail

Clinton is the one! There's too much at stake. I've seen all the candidates here in Iowa and you are head and shoulders above the rest. I think you will make a great President and you are ready to lead. Our country needs you.

Clinton's plan for the economy, her engergy plan, bringing the troops home and a Universal Healthcare plan make her the strongest candidate in the field.

Did anyone see her ANSWER the question on the TODAY show?? I did not. She kept avoiding it. The question was "HOw is Obama becoming the president really a roll of the dice"
She referred to the Des Moines register, her family, every random thing except the answer. UNtil the reported called her out on it and said "ok you are not going to answer this question lets go to another one" and then AGAIN she did not answer the question.
Judge for yourself her character

It is a shame that the Democratic Party seems unable to embrace the spring of its party in Obama rather than its autumn in Clinton.I am a life-long Democrat,however,I find the smug claims of economic success during her husband's tenure rather tinny. There was a lot of compromise with the Republican House to achieve this and Hillary certainly was not part of it. Overall the previous Clinton administration was fraught with failure: from Somalia to the President's inability to tell the truth to the nation,always parsing words to the point where it becomes demeaning.We have had this for 15 years now and it is time for a change.Why go back when we can go forward? The corporate soul of the Democratic Party is on full display with the cronyism and the nepotism pursuant to Hillary achieving the nomination.If it feels a lot like Christmas,it also feels a lot like the Republican Party.We have been through this before: Hubert Humphrey is John Kerry is Hillary Clinton.The way to not repeat the past is to break from it but be born in the process.The candidacy of Barack Obama offers this chance.

I would love to know what kind of beef CNN has against Hillary Clinton. I'm tired of watching them trot out Carl Bernstein to do a hatchet job on her with his increasingly shrill rhetoric. On top of that, they allow him on to pontificate against Senator Clinton without anyone to respond to his biased views. Very foul play on "news".

Good for you Hillary..don't worry about the polls and don't worry about why the personal opinions of you in the media are overwhelmingly negative. Don't worry about why 9 out of every 10 women I ask, say there's no way they'd vote for you. Don't worry about anything cause your rich, you protect corporate interest over the common good and those wealthy interest will continue to take care of you. Don't worry that the working class may be smart enough to realize how programs you and Bill promoted have hurt their economy worse than any presidency in history. Just enjoy a campaign full of wealthy friends and family showing their support because come election day, the working majority will not.

Hillary should worry about polls, while Obama should not have to.

WOW! What scares me about many of these comments is that women are ready to vote for her JUST BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN! THAT, my fellow Americans, is frightening indeed. Are these women so hateful of men that they would vote for a flip-flopping, republican-in-democrats-clothing simply because she is not a man?

Senator Clinton will make an Excellent United States President. Our country desperately needs her. Senator Clinton has demonstrated true family values and I applaud her as a mother, woman and future United States Leader. We need a President who CARES about all citizens and our moral standing in the world.

Perhaps we should elect someone from the cleaning staff at the White House. They have equally as much experience as Hillary and would be very useful after the Bush administration.

Everyone that is talking about her is only intimidated of what she is capable of doing....which is winning the Democratic Nomination. The media only tries to bring her down because she is the top dog. The media wants to create drama and ruin the chances. But no matter what....Hillary will PREVAIL!

"The reason they were kicked out 16 years ago is because of tax and spend politics. Now they want to raise taxes again"

First let's start with the obvious. Democrats were in office 8 years ago with Bill Clinton. Second, Bush reduced income taxes, but raised just about everything else around us. Healthcare costs? What about the price of oil? His BS has TRIPLED oil prices since he took office. Wonder who that benefits? I know it's not me.

I wonder why American's can not see beyond there front door. Hilary Clinton is smart, qualified, determined to make this a better place to be. Have you all not looked around to see what has happened to America in the past 7+ years. GO Hilary

"Obama is inspiring but we are now in an era where any country in the world can start a war with the USA anytime and I think he is not ready to make decisions on his own."

Ever hear the saying: people in glass houses....

The Clinton White house was there for the first WTC attack and the bombing of the USS Cole and did NOTHING. Attack Obama if you feel it necessary, but don't make it sound like Hillary is there to make the TOUGH decisions.

Well, I did admire the Clintons, but I've had enough of this hypocrisy. OK, this is politics, but enough is enough!
To claim "I'm not worried about the polls" is not only a blatant lie, it's also an insult to the intelligence of the viewers. When she was, her staff insisted to just look at her poll numbers. Obviously she cares about poll numbers, any candidate cares (actually anybody following this election does!) – I cannot blame her for that. Does she think we are all idiots or something?
Reminds me of Bill, watching us in the eye on TV in a staged sincerity moment: "I did NOT have sex with that woman..."
She only sucked my... wait, is that called sex? Wow, I didn't know that!

"Hillary has run a clean campaign in the mist of all the dirt, hate, lies and demagoguery of the right wingers and the other so-called Democrat’s campaigns."

You're kidding right? She would only have more dirt involved in her campaign if she was mud wrestling. Lets all get that image out of our minds now.

Mark
CNN does keep all posts. You are just seeing more negative ones about Hillary because people are opening their eyes the real Hillary. Sorry, the wheels are off her wagon.

"I never believe that any election is at all predictable, let alone inevitable"

Yeah right. Oh Hilary you're quite the actress.

She isn't good for anything. She gives me the creeps. She has too much money and power to be running our country.

We need someone who has the strength to be able to resist from all the power.

If she becomes president and that crappy universal healthcare kicks in, I can't WAIT to see all of you just waiting in line to get the worst healthcare there is to offer.

VOTE FOR RON PAUL!!!

thanks!!!

Lauding her husbands management of the economy?.... Please! Bill can not tale credit for all that. He reaped the benefit of Reaganomics... there was the internet boom.. again not related to Bills actions... and then in the same period we had the Asia financial crisis, the Latin American financial woes, the Russian ruble collapsed and the impending Euro arrival. A world of investors with only the stable US economy to pump it into. Any wonder the Clinton Era looked so good. So how will you russell up another perfect storm such as that Hilary. Its Ok though... you were there... so you'll figure it out.

It's time for democrats to choose someone who is really electable. Some one like JOHN EDWARDS. Clinton has a lot of baggage that are only liability and OBAMA is too naive.

Wait, you mean to tell me a Clinton is not worried about polls? Oh boy, the sap is running heavy in Iowa. (Hint: she's lying people)

hillary knows she cant be toppled by mere politics,..,shes been in the game more years than any of her running mates,.,.and she knows overseas tactics ,.,.hiallary has no worrys .,.,the majority know shes going to win just sitting back waiting for it to happen thats the hard part

Posted By jan henderson kingsville texas : December 17, 2007 2:47 pm

"MERE politics" there is nothing 'mere' about them, they (politics) are what the game is all about.
"She's been in the game more years than any of her running mates" I guess you mean her opponents since none of them are her 'running mates'. Anyway, that's absolutely not true. The only one she has more national experience than is Obama all the other run circles around her 8 years experience in which she didn't do a whole lot.

What do you mean she knows 'overseas tactics', all she ever had to do as first lady was smile for the camera.

And, yes, Hillary has a lot of worries, that's why all the dirty tricks (and that's exactly what they are), she must feel like she's on the Titanic.

It's good to know that you speak for the majority, Jan, guess you haven't opened up a newspaper in a coupla weeks.

The laugh of doom. HAHAHAHAHA. It is a laugh of confidence. From the number of responses for this post alone with Hillary's name on it, that speaks for itself how popular she is...regardless if it is pionic negativity or intellectual positivity. Commander in Chief HRC '08. YES!!!

You know it is funny all of you people who are condemming Clinton for lying, when at one point or another you have lied yourself. Wherether it be to refrain from trouble or make someone happy or not wanting to hurt someone's feelings. We know she looks at the polls, be right now her pride is being hurt and so she says she doesn't big deal. She is saying that she has experinece from when she was the first lady and yet many of you say all she did was sleep with the President. But if you think about it she also was put in with his rirgorus schedule and know the frustration and commitment that it takes, becsause she was there when Bill was going through it. She may not have the experience of being the Presidnet however she does have the experince of the life of the President more than any of the others running. If I remember correctly you guys are getting at her for her being nasty, which in the begining she was not. Obama and Edwards were a and they were thrrowing all they could at her and still are. However Obama never uses her name, he just insinuates. Clinton would say the guys are picking on me, and at that time many people said grow a backbone, deal with it. Now that she is dealing her own out it is not ok. True that it would have been wrong IF her camp was accusing Obama of being a drug dealer, they were only stating what the Repbulicans WOULD do if Obama wins the Dem nod. People need to step away from thier feelings and look at the things that she has done her whole careeer life.

When are you people going to realize that this woman cannot tell the truth even in a situation like this!?!? She is NOT worthy of the Presidency of this great country. She and her philandering husband have been lying to us longer than George W. Bush and you KNOW you can't stand HIM lying! The Clinton name is synonomous with lying, good grief, Bill was IMPEACHED for it. Get a grip people and move on to another family for crying out loud! Enough Bush, Clinton, Bush, (another Clinton, Bush?)! Time to draw the line!

BALONEY!!!!!!!!!!!! The Clintons exist for polls whether running for office or running the office. No one is more poll driven than these two. Hillary, like her husband, is a LIAR.

Why do all the Hillary supporters sound like they are typing from overseas? Must be trying to track your campaign donations, hmmm??!!

You people are sick. Hillary is running a campaign as all other contenders. And she runs it well, I admire her tenacity and focus.

Have some respect for her and for many of us who are interested to hear what she says.

And CNN, keep all posts, not just the anti-Clinton ones.

Hillary'08!

So she resided in the White House, what does that prove? That she knows where all twelve bathrooms are. As for knowing Washington politics, so doesn't every other candidate, that's not really a selling point, Washington politics being what they are today. Jack you posted not one single selling point, nothing you listed separates her from most of the other candidates on either side of aisle.

match up your accomplishments with hers.

Posted By jack : December 17, 2007 2:01 pm
Why would I do that, jack, I'm not running for President.

If Bill was such a good polititian, then why didn't he win at least 50% of the vote twice in a row? Why was he impeached? Why is he so polarizing?

We are living in an era of revisionist history, I'm afraid. The MSM, in their efforts to re-elect Hillary, are forcing everyone to drink the coolaid. They're doing this by re-packaging a flawed product, and positioning the bad side against the wall of silence so no one can notice it

This is what so many people don't understand. Bill is still the best pure politician on the left. You did leave out 1 or 2 things though,

Bill was at least likable on some levels. To me, Bill is like GW Bush, he would be fun to hang out with at BBQ, a ball game, or on the golf course. He seems like a guy who like to have a good time. Hillary, is NOT likable, she is more polorizing, & a total killjoy. Look, should Bill have been cheating on her over the years? Nope, but when you listen to Hillary go off on 1 of her many rants, can you blame him?

Hillary's negatives are too great for her to be elected to the Oval Office.

"Some of us are wise, some of us are otherwise" Mark Levin

This extra long presidential campaign, started because the dems couldn't wait to make GWB irrelevant, is going to end up hurting hillary. A short campaign would have been a referendum on the Bush administration but two years of getting to know the candidates makes it about them. Two years of hillary before the election gives the country time to think, do we really want these two back in our lives every day for another four years or do we want to move on to another direction.
A new face for America!

If this woman said something to the effect that this is a meaningless poll and our campaign doesn't look into it this would be a non-issue. Telling
Brusilla that this shouldn't be on his show...well let's just say Hil is taking a page out of Hugo Chavez's book.

Do you realize how much it costs to run for office? More than any honest man could afford. -Montgomery Burns

Of course I agree that the only poll that counts is the one on election day. I think the point here is that this is yet another (overt) attempt by the Clinton Machine to control the media. I can only wonder what kind of threats went on behend the scenes after this network dared show a potential crack in the Queen's armor.

Leon says "By the way, I'm not afraid of fat people, I'm repulsed"

Oh, gotcha! CNN wants only anti-Hillary comments. Oops!

Did anyone else notice she didn't bother to answer any of the questions?

It's a meaningless poll, Brusilla. How dare you! Wait until Chairwoman Hillary is President. You'll be imprisoned for bringing something like that up.

I've been a respondant to Zogbi Interactive polls for a couple of years now. Every poll starts with your party affiliation, how likely you are to vote, who you voted for in the last election, and who you're liking in the next election. So I know someone over there's been tracking this data for a while. This must be favouring Obama well if you see hillary react with such a panic.

hillary knows she cant be toppled by mere politics,..,shes been in the game more years than any of her running mates,.,.and she knows overseas tactics ,.,.hiallary has no worrys .,.,the majority know shes going to win just sitting back waiting for it to happen thats the hard part

She has accomplishments? What are they? Oh yeah, she accomplished staying in a marriage of convenience with a worthless letch. So she lived in the White House while her husband was president. Big deal. The two of them also sold our defense secrets to the Chinese for campaign donations. Yep. She has experience. She also managed to succeed in being a carpetbagger that was able to find the only group of individuals gullible enough to vote for her (New Yorkers). She knew she couldn't get elected in her home state (Arkansas). Her sleazy husband couldn't either. Some call "W" the worst president in our history. He certainly is not the best, but he clearly is better than her husband was and is better than she would be. If you think you want universal healthcare, ask a Canadian how they like their system. The average Canadian is taxed at 50%. Yes, a doctor's visit is "free", when you can get an appointment. Emergency room waits are a minimum of 12 hrs. If required to stay in the hospital, your bed will be in a large ward, or in a hallway – wherever it may fit. Oh, and you will need to have insurance to pay for the stay, because the hospital stay is not covered by the national healthcare system.

Personnally, I think that Obama would be the best democrat, but he is still a liberal. The economy will not survive the taxes that he and the other dems want to drop on us.
The republicans aren't showing much quality this time either, but McCain or Romney would probably make the best president. It would be nice if we could meld a few of these folks together.

we democrats have still not learned. you can't be republican lite. you need to stand up for what your party is and that is what edwards is doing. if we as a party back down from bush and the war, we will lose in 08. the democrats, independents and a large part of the republicans are against this war and want our troops home NOW – not later.

Another lie from Mrs. Clinton. When will it end?????

Someone tell me what experience Hillary has? Give me things she did while Bill was in office. Best I can remember, she did nothing except play the roll of first lady, and failed at that. Someone please give me some info. before the election. Thanks.

Is she running for president or a clown face painting contest

Have a Clintonic Day!!!

This woman is calculating and non-commital. She is a danger to the well being of our nation

What has Hillary done for New York? Being Senator and all? Im just wondering why being married to a president makes one qualified to be one.
I live in new york, people down here are not supporting her.

Let`s get real here. What kind of meaningful experience can Hillary have managed when she apparently was kept busy 24/7 trying to ride herd on Bill`s philandering. We know that Bill did not "see the light" re; his sexual addiction untill the late nineties, when he sought counselling....

Hillary is way too power hungry and desperate. The Democrats have been on the warpath to regain power for 16 years. Nothing has changed. So far, they've offered America nothing but opposition to Republicans. If Hillary or another Democrat ends up controlling the Whitehouse, they would run afoul with our laws. The reason they were kicked out 16 years ago is because of tax and spend politics. Now they want to raise taxes again. One of the main reasons for the Revolutionary war was because of excessive taxes. After all this time, the concept of reducing spending and living within the means of the trillions of dollars they take in hasn't sunk in yet. No wonder the Democrats have a 33% job approval rating.

A bird jumping from a tree branch to another branch has not really left the tree. From Bush Sr to Clinton and Bush Jr and Clinton again. It is not change! No wonder the state of things are what they are: dismal, disfunctional, fracticious and partisan. The Democrats and Republicans are in self induced comma. WAKE UP! sheeple. Obama has it!

Remember folks; the ultimate goal is to become President of the United States – every candidate plays the same exact way – that is, smart & slightly underhanded. Remember, the candidates are not running to be "Candidate of the United States". Hillary is playing it well and is going to be POTUS.Right Hill?

It is time for democrats to rally behind someone who can win, otherwise we'll end up with a lemon candidate like Hillary and lose the election. Hillary is simply a transparent attempt of Bill to spit on the constitution and get a third or fourth term. The Clintons disgraced the presidency and caused the democrats to lose the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court. In addition, Bill Clinton's failure to get Bin Laden when he could has led to about a million people killed or maimed in the US, Afghanistan and Iraq – and nothing has been accomplished. We need to get behind the wise leader that can win and unite the country – and lead us out of the global mess. End the divisiveness. Obama is the one.

I think Hillary's still has the nomination. Sure, her campaign has misjudged her coronation, but I think she's still going to make it. She's got the right name and fronting Bill out there to pimp her is like crack cocaine to many democrats. They can't help themselves. They have to vote for the Big 'C'. Never forget how much weight the name 'Clinton' carries.
Never mind!

Obama is inspiring but we are now in an era where any country in the world can start a war with the USA anytime and I think he is not ready to make decisions on his own. Watching Obama on all the debates he has engaged with, he looks blank faced and is searching the skies for his answers. He is not spontaneous and I am afraid of America's future. He is just too ambitious. He should have at least completed his first term as senator of Illinois. Have the democrats forgotten 8 years ago when the Republicans elected Bush because he is inspiring and very personable? Try to refresh youre minds. She will be a very good president.

Better be.

Hillary doesn't worry about polls, she pays Mark Penn to do that. In fact, Hillary has ghoulish dominions to worry about everything for her, she sold her soul for them. Isn't that special..

I am a woman, darlin', and a feminist. Why would I not want a woman president? By the same token, should we elect a woman if she's the wrong candidate?
Any other woman but Hillary. Nikki Tsogas of massachusetts would be my best pick for woman first president!

Right...the Clintons never pay attention to polls. This kind of insincere bullsh$t is what drives me nuts about the Clintons. All politicians care about polls. After all, they need to get elected.

Just for once I'd love to see Hillary be candid, forthright, and honest about one thing. Just one thing.

The clintons are republicans in disguise. Besides we want the truth of our leaders to be out and we want a real progressive candidate not one who just plays one on TV !

She has my vote.

U.S. Vice President Al Gore,
Harvard trained supporter of significant increases in enforcement and private prisons.
(Photo Courtesy Wikipedia)

"The Clinton Administration took the groundwork laid by Nixon, Reagan and Bush and embraced and blossomed the expansion and promotion of federal support for police, enforcement and the War on Drugs with a passion that was hard to understand unless and until you realized that the American financial system was deeply dependent on attracting an estimated $500 billion-$1 trillion of annual money laundering. Globalizing corporations and deepening deficits and housing bubbles required attracting vast amounts of capital."
This time is different and we need a president who will operate outside the box!

I say this many times. I am tired of this Oprah Winfrey hype. And people should really think before following what Oprah believes, if Ms. Winfrey has ever hired or promoted a person within her company to an extremely high executive level position that doesn't have the years of expereince. Her answer will let the American people know if she follows the same methods of choosing the right candidate within her own company. she has never giving an example. Never.

The question of whether or not HRC is making a "choice simply based on craven political motives" must be rhetorical. Her whole personal & politcal life consists of these choices. For the love of God, Clinton took a poll before they announced the Barbra Streisand endorsement. Nope, not THIS woman...not this time. HRC is the problem, NOT the solution.

If Hillary Clinton - or, for matter, Jeb Bush - is elected president next year and serves two terms in office, that would mean a Bush or a Clinton would have held the White House for a whopping 28 years. And to think many once worried about a "Kennedy Dynasty." Yet a new Gallup poll find that most Americans are not concerned about that.

The poll founds that 54% declared that this new dynasty "would not make much difference."

But among those who disagreed, those who worried it will be "bad" easily outnumbered those who thought it would be "good" by 31% to 13%. I am concerned about this poll if Hillary isn't.
Two things,
Baggage and dynasty have to be stopped, it's that easy!

She runs a Washington-type campaign.

Of course she does! That's how politics work. Those who would portray themselves as unique or different in their campaigns are not being truthful. They have a staff and people working for them just as Hillary. She needs to be stopped!

I'm a little surprised by the Register's endorsement of Clinton and McCain. Both are establishment, status quo candidates at a time when the Register's constituency has expressed an interest in change. Although, in McCain, they did choose something of a dark horse, insofar as the Republican field in Iowa is concerned.

She has way too much baggage.

Who doesn't? Could any of us survive our closets being cleaned out and written about by the media on a daily basis? I couldn't. Through all of the anti-Hillary books, articles and speeches, she still stands and confronts the cameras. She's not hiding. Her accomplishments are many and let's focus on that. Before you throw stones, match up your accomplishments with hers.

Hillary doesn't have experience.

Define "experience". Does it mean that she knows correct protocal? She has experience. Does it mean she understands the pressures of the office of President of the United States? She has experience. Does it mean that she understands the needs of children? She has experience. Does it mean that she's aware of how America is viewed around the world? She has experience. Does it mean that she is aware of Washington politics? She has experience. In fact, the only candidate in the race, Republican or Democratic who has actually resided in the White House is Hillary Rodham Clinton.

We can only hope for the good of the country that Iowans are put off by the Clintons' ruthlessly negative campaign, especially against Barack Obama. John Edwards may be the recipient of the advantage from the negative barrage, which may also be exactly what the Clintons hoped for, thinking they could ward off Edwards' cash strapped campaign in later states.

When someone truly inspirational like Obama comes along, he threatens the established, cynical, politics-as-usual order represented by the Clintons. This may be the moment when voters are truly tested.

Can we make history? Or are we doomed to repeat history?

I don't blame her! I a mean how dare she concern herself with what the people think. Don't you already know that she is inevitable as the sun rising tomorrow? Good for you Hilary! Don't concern yourself with what the people think of you. Those little people are just obstacles towards your rise as the first female American president.

Hillary Is More Likely to Defeat Herself Than to Win In ’08.

It is reminiscent of how President Bush ignores his approval rating. "Who cares what America is saying. I'm here to push my own agenda!"

"I have a million ideas and America can't afford them all". Baby bonds, Hillarycare, and all. That sounds like fiscal responsibility to you? It doesn't to me! And now polls mean nothing? Sounds like second place!

Neither are us Ron Paul supporters.

Hillary is and always will be a minor candidate with a nice sounding message. She has no real support in Iowa outside the newspaper endorsement because they remember Clintons baggage and embarrasment the country went through during their era. Richardson is a guy who always gets nice press, is a decent governor and was a good diplomat, but when one looks closer, isn’t anywhere near the hype his resume’ seems to garner. Biden is a solid guy but has put his foot in his mouth too many times and is seen in the pocket of the credit card companies which does not help his image as the savior of the working man. Dodd is a dull Senator with a steady but unremarkable record. And Gravel is not even worth the time it took me to type this sentence. So it comes down to Hillary, Edwards, and Obama. Hillary is a well known quantity, an able Senator, but does not represent a restoration to the thrown to what was the heady days of her husbands administration because she has some of her own views and is too much of a compromiser when it is politically expedient for her as her war votes attest. Edwards would make a wonderful nominee because his message of two Americas was way ahead of it’s time but he has the stigma of having been on a ticket that couldn’t beat the worst President in the history of this nation. Which leaves us with Obama. He is light on experience but is the most inspirational democrat since Bobby Kennedy. He is practical, learns quickly, and has the courage to stand up for his convictions even when it proves unpopular with some (the Iraq war, his willingness to talk with Iran). He also has the unique understanding of foreign cultures due to his unusual background. Both Clinton and Edwards have been part of the establishment which got us into this mess. Edwards gets points for being repentant about his role in voting for the war. By default, that makes Obama the best representation of change.
Lets hope the Obama surge continues.....

If she doesn't pay attention to poll numbers, why is her campaign resorting to dirty trcks as her poll numbers drop.
If she doesn't pay attention to poll numbers, why did she act like her nomination was inevitable when her poll numbers were better.
Moral of the story: Never believe what Hillary says. You can be sure she is watching those poll numbers like a hawk and you can also be sure that the dirty tricks have just begun.
Anybody but Hillary in 2008

boy what a flip flop. She sure was using those polls when they were more in her favor.

"I just don't pay attention to those snapshots"

Get real. Her campaign has been sending out weekly emails to news reporters for months touting her poll numbers. Now that her numbers are crumbling, she is begging everyone not to pay attention to them. Typical Clinton - playing games with out intelligence and with the truth.

Weird that it is so silent today. Reality bites hard....hey guys. She is here to stay...regardless of the Obama outcome. Alot of you have seemed to forget that she was just re-elected back to 6 years in the Senate. If she is not the Commander in Chief in '08, she will still be a power that I would want on my side...you know? HRC'08

If I want someone who is BEST qualified, Hillary Clinton doesn't win. Joe Biden has pages and pages on his resume that extend far past what Hillary can ever come close to claiming. How the Des Moines Register failed to realize this when they say that experience is the top criteria, I don't know.

If I want someone who is well qualified, and can bring about CHANGE in Washington, offer a new vision and a new way to bring America back to the top, then Barack Obama has the answer.

Hillary meltdown, oooh ya, look at the face, a face of defeat!

Before you were? or,I mean are you loosing?

Mrs. Clinton's endorsement by the Des Moines Register comes as no surprise, given that Donna Shalala, who served for eight years as Secretary of Health and Human Services under Mr. Clinton, currently sits on the Board of Directors of Gannett - which is the parent company of the Des Moines Register. Check out these links: http://www.gannett.com/about/management/board_of_directors.htm (scroll down to find Shalala listed on the Board's webpage) http://www.gannett.com/about/map/propmap.htm (click the map on Iowa to see that the Des Moines Register is one of Gannett's newspapers.
In the interest of full disclosure, CNN should make this known to it's viewers.

This lady makes me sick. Looking at mug just mess up my day.

She's also not worried about the electoral college in the general election which she can win, whereas her oponent Obama wouldn't have a chance in states like Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania

I viewed this mornings interview of Hillary Clinton on CNN. I found it amazing that she did not answer one of the questions of which she was asked. I wonder if it was just me – or did anyone else notice her non-answers?

CNN should make available the transcript of this interview – it would be interesting to actually read the pundant's answers – and maybe help to convince me that I am not crazy.

Am I the only person who thinks newspapers and news outlets (read: CNN) shouldn't endorse candidates? Doesn't that cause problems for those old things like editorial slant, journalistic integrity, or objective reporting?

ok hillary your not worried. we will see what happens in about 9 or 10 months. you will craming every lie you can get your hands on to see who will be fool enough to believe you

Nice to know Hillary doesn't put much value in the states that vote after February 5th

The sage of Albuquerque, me, have said all along that the nomination and eventual Presidency of Hillary Clinton is a 'FAIT ACCOMPLI'. My stance on this hasn't change. She is the best qualified candidate to rescue this country from the malaise and malfeasance of the past 7 years. She will win Iowa and New Hampshire and the rest will be a crushing defeat for all her opponents, Democrats and republicans,

Woot! Go Hilary! We love you!

I can vouch first hand why Hillary needs to be elected as our next President. First I need to give you a base of information to go from, remember how Coral Springs, Florida was on the News a lot after September 11th, 2001. Mohammed Atta's Apartment-10001 West Atlantic Blvd. is 2-1/2 blocks from my backyard. But more importantly, the house they bought a few years before 9/11/01 was there central command. This house is diagonal from mine, I moved into mine in November of 1988. The Anthrax came from the house diagonal from mine, they tried to kill me with it on August 21st, 2001, because they knew I unknowingly knew to much about this house, I was in the garage the end of May 2001 while Waleed was getting his hair cut by the wife who still lives there.
I tried to call the FBI in the middle of the night to leave a message but all I ever got was a computer! Then I started writing letters to Senator Bob Graham, they sent Anthrax to the building his office was in (Hart Building). Bush was bringing Graham on Air Force One to get command of my Faxes, you do not think Bush would otherwise bring a Democrat on Air Force One with him unless there was something in it for him.
Then the warnings from al Qaeda were getting more frequent so I stopped writing in fear they would go after my Mother to get to me, for I was able to keep an eye over my shoulder knowing they were after me.
After my Mother passed away on my birthday in 2004, I was sick of being intimidated and tried to warn Kerry/Edwards, but it was to no avail. I then tried going to the Sun-Sentinel during the 2004 Campaign, they turned me away.
After Hurricane Wilma while assessing the damage I found out from a neighbor that the Terrorist house now had a shipping company. I wrote to Senator Clinton about it, she got it 3 weeks before the Dubai Ports deal, that is why Washington Freaked at the Ports News. By the way Hillary had the FBI in my neighborhood within hours and they were able to varify what I am telling you by other witnesses who saw the cars and by my Medical records. As I said I need to stay anonymous for I do not want to leave my house where I have memories of my Mother.
Now you should understand why I get upset when people say Hillary is not right for opur President, for she would not leave any stone unturned after the Attacks on our Country!!!

go hillery we love you clinton 08

This woman changes her statements so often...just weeks ago she couldn't stop citing her lead in the polls. Now that she's losing, she doesn't pay attention to them? I will be glad when she falls into political obscurity after she loses this election. Someone so divisive that even those within her own party are nauseated by her...

She was inevitable and now she is not worried about polls. You better be worried.

Obama 08

I guess she has her game face on ... good luck with that.

When she was ahead by a large margin, she was sure as hell worried about them!! Remember Hillary..."that's why they were attacking you because you were winning" right?? Now that margin has severly decreased and you are not worried by the polls all of a sudden...you don't pay that much attention to them! hahaha...yeah right and I'm Jesus!

Have I been put on the "do not post" list or something, everything I post about HRC is never posted. I can say today you lost a loyal viewer. Good luck

i can tell Hillary is lying. She is looking straight at me in that picture.

A Hillary nomination would be doubly disastrous for the democratics:

1) a sure-fire loss in Novemeber- she can barely rally democrats, nevermind swing voters in swing states. People do not like her. She comes across as mean , vindictive, and insincere.
2) a bigger longterm blow to the democratic party. By passing up the rare opportunity to nominate a both both unifying and visionary leader in the form of Obama, the party will totally alienate the activists, progressives, idealists that have served as its core... all that will remain is the donkey icon and the coke and pepsi sponsorhsip.

Oh my, look at that cold icy stare, do you want to really be looking at that for the next 8 years and hearing that shrill voice and phony cackle lie to you as she serves the corporate overlords...

She is even losing support among women
because they know one when they see one!

Caucus for the leader with a heart for the people, who enjoys the company of strong women – Barak Obama!

Rock the nation and the world !!!

Obama 08

Judging from the poor public response to Bill's weekend efforts to bandage the wounds–it seems like she has more to worry about than polls. Reality–appears to be sinking in. Obama, looks to be courting the Independent and GOP moderates. Still the only leading Democrat staying the course is Edwards. His mission and agenda–remain unphased by the press–nor the polls. Great job John!!!

“I've done this a very long time and I never believe that any election is at all predictable, let alone inevitable,” the New York senator told American Morning anchor Kiran Chetry Monday."

Oh man, I almost fell out of my chair I laughed so hard...

yeah right

Hillary is a poll wacther thats how she makes her decisions.

change is coming.... and it aint you senator clinton

The Indianapolis Star published what I want to say to Clinton.

http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071217/OPINION/712170301/-1/LOCAL17

Clintons who don't follow polls are sort of like Christians against Christ. The Clintons CREATED the notion of poll-driven policy/governance.

You dont believe in the inevitable? than why when you thought you had the nomination switch all your leftist leaning positions back towards the middle to appease more voters in the general election? Now things are going south and you have no clue what to do or who to plant.
Anyone but hillary 08

Get OUTTAHERE!!! Tell us Hillary, how are you going to replicate the conditions that fostered the '90s economy? What with no "peace dividend" now, currently no dot-com phenonema, no fiscally responsible Republican Congress (the way they were in '90s and the way they need to be now), no "Hillary Care" that was thankfully shot down. Only an idiot would believe this nonsense you're spewing, what with your plan to socialize medicine, give $5000 to every newborn, and God know what else. Hillary, just go home wherever that is, Illinois, Arkansas, or NY?

Hillary just said she has been doing this a very long time and doesnt pay attention to polls..........LIE LIE LIE ....First of all you do pay attention to polls and that is why you are attacking Obama like never before cause you see him now as a THREAT...Secondly how have you been doing this for a long time?? You ran for the Public office in new york for the first time in 2000 and ran one re-election campaign...So you are saying when Bill was running you were doing all the WORK????Hillary you are by far the most arrogant,power hungry, calculating,evil,heartless,cold human being on earth and God have mercy on us if this woman becomes our president.

“I was there, seeing how it was done, part of the, you know, Clinton team that was in the White House,” she said.

So it is true, all you have to do is sleep with the President to be President!

You will have to come up with a little more than that if you want my vote..which won't happen

She should be worried about the polls.

It's exactly this sort of arrogant "I don't need to run, I'm conducting a coronation ceremony" which is hurting her in the polls. Being a first lady is not experience in an elected position!!! She doesn't have more experience, she should be worried about this shift.

Obama, Edwards, Biden and Richardson are all going to benefit from Hilary's continued holier-than-thou attitude.

Iowans will vote for Hillary Clinton because she is the most qualified candidate, the most experienced candidate and she’s READY TO LEAD ON DAY ONE. The presidency position is a job and, while the other candidates have been selling their own individual agenda’s by drilling in on the issues, Hillary Clinton has not only made her resume transparent to the American people, but she has put forth the most comprehensible vision out of all the candidates. The demagogues might try to sensationalize petty lies and nonsense that we shouldn’t dwell on, but we can’t deny that Hillary is ready to lead. Hillary has run a clean campaign in the mist of all the dirt, hate, lies and demagoguery of the right wingers and the other so-called Democrat’s campaigns.

Speaking as the liberal I am, I want the party of compassion to win. I want the Democrats to save America from the reactionary right wing by swinging the Independents to the Progressive left. The Republicans were mobilized when they took the House, the Senate and the Executive branch, and the Republicans were onward to reversing Roe vs. Wade and Civil Rights when they added two right wingers to the Supreme Court. Now we are heading towards recession, and Emperor Bush and his veto power is making the Democratic Congress look week in public opinion. The Republicans are battling in the trenches. We need a candidate that can fight them in the air and on the ground. That candidate is clearly Hillary Clinton. She has already taken enough fire from the reactionaries. She has already fired back hard on the reactionaries, and now the reactionaries are mad at her and are supporting Obama as a last resort to keep the White House.

America, the change we NEED is within our reach. We just have to stand behind the candidate whom we know will deliver. The Clintons are known to deliver effectively. We need to give the ball to the player that has the clear shot and not to the egomaniac that just wants to hog the ball and get all the glory.

Diebold in your corner Hillary?

Where is the headline: Ron Paul sets new 24 hour fundraising record of $6 million with the help of ordinary Americans who are sick and tired of the status quo?

Clinton was also saying "Another reason I'm not worried is because I've planted a bunch of voters... oops!".

So when she was ahead she told us to "look at the polls". Now, when she is behind, she "isn't worried about the polls"...

Priceless.

...and I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale if anyone is interested.

Wallace

One more thought to ponder. Is this the same Hillary that before was flaunting her poll leads across the board, coming short of declaring victory? I remember distinctly that in the early months of the campaign that Hillary basked in the polls. Don't lie Hillary. You follow the polls just as much as the next person.

I love how CNN allows Hillary to rebuke herself everytime she slips up. First it was after the Philadelphia debate, when she appeared on the CNN Election Express Bus to "clarify" her views on licenses for illegal immigrants and admit it "wasn't [her] best night." Now it's because she is falling behind in the polls. I don't see any other canidates getting this priveleged treatment to account for their mistakes. This type of media pampering is what has divided this country– and it does not go unnoticed.

The polls meant a lot to her when she was ahead but now they she is loosing ground they don't mean anything. She is no more ready to lead than Obama or Edwards. They at least are honest decent people and for the most party do not join in her dirty politics. They are both much more trustworthy and honest. HRC is a divider and never would make it to the White House. Too many Democrats would not vote for her even if she was the only one running.

Bill's economic record that Hillary watched is based on the Republican's financial leadership of Congress in the 90's. Very much unlike our pitiful 110th liberal Congress who has yet to accomplish anything..

That last quote from HRC is puzzling. I would like to hear from some of Bill Clinton's financial advisors as to whether HRC was (1) in the room for policy discussions and if so, (2) what input she actually had.

From the looks of Hillary's eyes, Obama must not be the only one doing drugs. Please pass the pipe...

I take exception with Sen. Clinton's view that the whole primary process ends in February with California. While it's very likely that the nomination will be made on that day, other states, such as Ohio, that vote later seem to have been left out of the Senator's assessment. Again, it's likely that California will end the real primary season, but it's also possible that we later states will also be an important consideration.

Code for we are going to BUTCHER the military budget again and while we are getting bombed 6-8 times while I am President I will treat them as criminal acts and not acts of terrorism, thus sticking my head in the sand like my "hubby" did.

While Billyboy's head was ahem, "somewhere else", the terrorists gained strength and guts, but to all you sheep "we were so loved".

Raise your hand if you believe she doesn't look at the polls everyday...

Typical lies.

No more Clinton's.

"“I just don't pay attention to those snapshots.'

Not at all..........

I do like the "deer in the headlights"
look however.

What a two-faced hypocrite.

She paid plenty of attention to the polls when she was winning. Her campaign frequently gloated about their poll numbers when they were ahead- and they always used the poll numbers as a response to a serious issue question brought up by their opponents.

Why should Hillary be worried about the polls, she has a news monopoly to suppress and oppose anything and everything her opponents do, i wouldnt be worried about the polls if were her either...I wouldnt be toating Bills record on forigen relations around...We have nafta thanks to him, nothing like keeping the mexicans permanitly poor to say im a really responsible, kind, loving american, oh yeah and here take all these jobs that where not going to replace with high end tech fields that are going out to switzerland..So Hillary wants to send away the remaining jobs in this country and not replace them with anything? Its odd we rank 8th out of G8 countries in new technology but yet we own more pattens hands down then any other country, kinda suspicious...I dont think Hillary is what any of us want for the future, i dont think theres going to be much of a future with this kind of leadership

who is she kidding? of course they look at the polls. they obsess and pee their pants over them. not buying this bull.

Of course not, that's what she pays Mark Penn to do..

"I have done this a very long time". Correction Hillary your husband has done it a very long time, you have only run for the Senate and that was a gift seat with no true opponent. Just because Bill did it doesn't mean you get to claim it as your own!

who were all those perky, fresh faces behind Mrs. Clinton?!? At 530am?!?

No Hillary. I'd be more worried about your make-up. It looks like a poor cake decoration right now.

Hillary's right. Polls and elections are absolutely unpredictable. Remember how Dean was the favorite last election, and Kerry, way down in the polls, shot ahead out of nowhere, and won the early primaries? Many were stunned by that and I think it easily could happen again. Hillary and Edwards have run stong campaigns and are in a great position to beat Obama in the Jan 3 primaries.

C'mon Hillary! Hang in there. I'm a Republican who can't wait for you to top your party's ticket in '08. CNN, please continue to carry the water for another Clinton.... we're counting on you both!

I really wish she would stop trying to run her campaign on her husbands coattails.

She has said in debates, "I will be the next president".

Yet she says monday,

“I've done this a very long time and I never believe that any election is at all predictable, let alone inevitable".

Too many mixed messages. Welcome to politics I guess.

Clintons not worried about polls?
Hahahahahahahahahahaha.... yeah, right.......

Hello MS. soon to be President, most of us know that you will win this one and you are well prepared to lead this country in the right direction. Pleeeeeeeeeeease, be positive through out this remaining campaign... and be optimistic. Thumbs up!
Hillary08!

Clinton shouldn't be worried about the polls. If all the polls were accurate she is still the front runner and will get her party's nomination because she is the only one ready to serve and serve well. I love how the press attacks the ONLLY woman. It's very frustrating as I show my granddaughters what woman can achieve and have them ask "why are they mean to Hillary". I haven't decided on an answer, but I have told them, there are both men and woman who are intimidated by a strong powerful woman. My granddaughters say, isn't that what a president is suppose to be? Kids are much smater then most adults.

More Hillary double-speak! After going on the attack of Obama on being overly ambitious and being a drug dealer, the Hillary camp now tries to downplay the polls when her actions were so dependent on them. Back in August 2007 when Hillary was way ahead in the polls, she stayed about the fray, consistently bashing Bush and Republicans for the last 6 years of his presidency. Now in December 2007, after polls results in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina indicate Hillary in a tie Obama and/or Edwards, Hillary and her campaign have been worried about the intital primary states.

Sorry Hillary you are not fooling me. Your campaign is poll oriented! Now your plan has shifted from you negatively campaigning against Obama to Bill Clinton negatively campaigning against Obama. When was the last time, if ever, that a former Democratic president (non-incumbent) was negatively attacking a Democratic presidential candidate?

yeah right? Are you winning now, as you said before for the reason people were attacking you?

Good stewardship?? Are you Kidding?? Under Clinto there were so many PUBLIC PROGRAMS put in place that are still being paid for it is ridiculous. You want to be fiscally responsible, how about we stop a good portion of the government funded handouts and have people get jobs??? The ELITIST that she is she should see that!!

We love you Hillary and we are with you all the way. You represent our beliefs, and you have the experience. Just stay strong and keep the faith.
