All the polls, including the new Zogby's show Mrs. Clinton way behind Obama or Edwards against Republicans. Almost 50% of American voters would vote for anyone except Mrs. Clinton. (I'm a life-long yellow dog democrat and I would never vote for her). Even polls showing her 1 or 2 points ahead of Rudy have her losing New Jersey and Pennsylvania- hence no way she can win the electoral college.

The polls on Iowa are totally insane. There is no way Obama has come up 20 points in New Hampshire and remained the same in Iowa. The campaigns in the two states are the identical.

If the democratic machine is successful in forcing this war-mongering corrupt former first lady on us dems our party will not only not regain the White House but lose the House and Senate. Mrs. Clinton= death of Democratic party.

My uncle, a heart surgeon for 35 years has been married to my aunt for 42 years and they are very close.
My question is: Would any of you Hillary Clinton fans let my aunt operate on your heart? That makes about as much sense as Hillary having experience just because Bill Clinton was president for eight years? My aunt went to AMA functions with my uncle and she says she was his confidant during stressful times in his career as a heart surgeon. She even read a lot of his medical books.

Or, maybe Hillary supporters would let my friend handle a case for you just because her husband is a lawyer and she typed legal documents for him when she worked as a legal secretary.

If so, please sign up to let my neighbor pull your teeth and do dental surgery on you or a member of your family because she was a dental assistant to her dentist husband early in their marriage.

To M.J., Makes good sense to me. I am waiting for Laura Bush to jump into the race with all her years of experience as wife of a president and governor; and let's not forget the experience she gathered as daughter-in-law of a vice president and president. Much more qualified than Lady Macbeth; and she is a much nicer person.

Why stop there, maybe we can get Roger Clemens wife to come out and pitch next year because she was a witness to his pitching career.

Hillary Clinton has higher negatives than positives. Also, if you want true experience, why not go for Joe Biden, Richardson, or Dodd. How about someone who has real first-hand experience as a participant; not second-hand experience as a witness to history?

”Incomplete Picture in New Obama Health Care Ad! lieing as usual
Sen. Barack Obama is touting his health care plan in an Iowa ad unveiled today, six days before the state's caucuses, But the commercial misrepresents.The commercial cites The Washington Post in claiming the Obama approach would be "saving $2,500 for the typical family.senator's aides estimated" such a savings but would not attempt to verify.It's obvious that Obama feels comfortable attempting to trash the credibility of progressives like Krugman. It's even more disturbing when coupled with the admiration that Obama holds for Republicans in his post-partisan quest. But this is just plain stupid.

Hillary Clinton’s White House experience gave her tremendous insight into how the processes of governing at that high level operate. Her biographer Sally Bedell Smith describes her as a confidant of the president. She was the person he always tested his ideas on and sought her advice. From an office in the West Wing (Hillary was the only First Lady to ever have an office in the presidential wing), Hillary Clinton played a strong behind-the-scenes role in policy and political decisions. By all measures, this was a very productive and effective presidency which dealt successfully with many of the biggest issues we are again facing—a huge and growing national debt that has a wide impact throughout the world’s economy and weakens America, a destabilized middle east and troops in harms way, a need for health care reform, rising poverty and a declining middle-class, and more.

Experience counts and Hillary has had substantial experience through close involvement with the presidency and the experience of a second term Senator. She has the broad perspective to see what needs to be changed and the experience to do it. She doesn’t just talk about the future, she has the experience to make it better.

Joe, that sounds about right to me! I wish I had thought to say thatt.

I would never vote for Hillary Clinton for anything after her subtle stereotyping of Obama. I think Billary knows of what I speak and she used it because she knew it would work. She has no shame. A person who appeals to others racist feelings even though she is probably not racist herself, will do anything to win. Hillary will never receive my vote.

It brings to mind the fact that the first "Black President" never could find a minority to appoint to the Supreme Court. No Hillary Clinton for me and I hope no Hillary Clinton for other African Americans.

…How is diverting our forces from Afghanistan to Iraq, a country which had nothing to do with 9/11, pursuing "those who reached deep into your family homes yesterday and took someone you loved away from you"? Saddam Hussein was not responsible for a single American death on 9/11, yet he's dead. Osama Bin Laden was responsible and he remains free because of Clinton and the Neocons' War in Iraq.

On January 3rd, 2008, the voters in Iowa will take Hillary "Empty Suit" Clinton to task for her empty promises and empty gestures that left America's brave and proud with so many empty hearts and empty pockets.

Obama has as much foreign policy experience as any Pub short of John McCain. And as much as the three leading Dems, as NONE of them have very much experience in foreign policy. Hillary may have cut a few ribbons in the 90s, but for someone who didn't even have a security clearance, I find it hard to believe that she's such a policy guru.

And if the Dems want to lose AGAIN, then go ahead and trot Hillary freakin Clinton out there and see how the currently down and disillusioned Pubs react. They'll run to the ballot box to vote against a Clinton, no matter who their candidate is. While amongst the Dem candidates, Obama is polled as the most likable and respected of all of them by Republicans.

He is by far the best candidate, and contrary to what the Clintonistas will have you believe, he's also the most electable.

I also love the depiction of Hillary as a spend, spend, spend liberal. Don't you retarded Republicans ever get the fact that YOUR representatives ask for the most pork and YOUR president took a surplus budget and turned it into the largest deficit in U.S. history (after adjusting for inflation).

Now as far as the article is concerned...Neither candidate is a frontrunner because people in New Hampshire are much like the rest of us. We are a nation of sexist biggots and it is highly unlikely that either Clinton OR Obama can be elected. Personally, I would vote for Barack in a heartbeat because I understand and agree with his vision. Hell, let's face it, no one is qualified to be the leader of the free world. There is no litmus test to tell us who to vote for. The only thing that really matters is the direction a candidate wants to take us. (As long as it is in the opposite direction of Dubya, that's fine with me). That being said, under NO circumstances would I vote for Clinton. Not because she is a woman, but because she is NOT a Democrat and she has NO vision. If my only choices were Hillary and Dennis Kucinich, I'd vote for Dennis. At least he has a vision. It may well be suffering from an incorrectable astigmatism but it's better than nothing.

Romney get's an anti-endorsement and it is page one, story one on CNN, why is this NOT even posted?

All the "news that is fit to omit" if it doesn't put the queen in a good light?

Or how about this pearl of wisdom from this weekend:

Hillary Clinton predicted Saturday that just electing her President will cut the price of oil.

When the world hears her commitment at her inauguration about ending American dependence on foreign fuel, Clinton says, oil-pumping countries will lower prices to stifle America’s incentive to develop alternative energy.

“I predict to you, the oil-producing countries will drop the price of oil,” Clinton said, speaking at the Manchester YWCA. “They will once again assume, once the cost pressure is off, Americans and our political process will recede.”

This so called genius is also clairvoyant now, that would explain the previous $1000 investment turning into a $100,000 overnight, but "she" new nothing.

EXPERTS say that the possibilty of a first time and one time investor making that much WITHOUT insider trading knowledge is impossible.

Planted people and questions at debates.

Surrogates making racist remarks about her main opponent, while she goes out on a fake "kinder and gentler tour" with her Mommy and previously off limits daughter (she was faltering in the polls and Chelsea, now a mere prop was needed).

Baby bonds, check the polls, nah changed my mind it was never an idea anyway.

Licenses for illegals, good idea and I understand why he is doing it, the NEXT debate "are you for licenses for illegals" and she is allowed to simply state "no" and nobody blinks.

I am a genius and clairvoyant, and I was for the war when it was poll tested and when it went down in the polls, I blamed the dumbest President in our history for tricking me.

Yes, there are actual AUDIO and VIDEO clips of me taking credit for my vote when Saddam fell, but I was um, um, you know, "taken out of context by the vast right wing conspiracy".

This genius and clairvoyant had no idea that her husband was running around on her with 3 or 4 etc, etc other women?

"I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas", was a great way to malign stay at home Mom's who have the TOUGHEST job in the world.

"I was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, who at the time of her birth was a "world renowned beekeeper" and had not tackled Everest as of yet.

These are just a few of "my favorite things".

You sheep can't be serious?

32 former U.S. ambassadors and diplomats signed a letter two weeks ago attesting to Hillary Clinton‘s foreign policy credentials.

The New York Times published a story Thursday reporting that Obama voted “present” — instead of yes or no — almost 130 times,
Obama’s advisers claim he has an 'intuitive grasp' of world affairs??? Like G. Bus. Obama Is too raw for the presidency.

Minister for Europe in Mr Blair’s Government, said he had been troubled by comments Mr Obama had made on the Middle East peace process and the prospect of military action in Pakistan. He added: 'A lot of people are concerned that international policy is not his strongest suit. Obama turned down requests from other visiting foreign dignitaries, such as an Italian opposition leader who was told that the senator was in 'presidential mode' and only seeing leaders of countries."

That way, when Obama wins the caucus, it will have the feel of an upset victory.

If Obama leads in the polls, it frightens me to think of what desperate tactics the Clinton machine might partake in.

Can't we move beyond red state-blue state nonsense and elect someone who can appeal to both sides of the aisle and bring our country together again?

Obama must win the nomination. If Hillary is nominated, you might as well guarantee the Republicans will win this November. She is a polarizing figure that half the country says it will NEVER vote for. How can we expect to win with negatives that high – before the general election even starts?

Obama '08!

This is one article that contains no spin: it merely states the facts. The headline says that there is no clear Democratic frontrunner in NEW HAMPSHIRE, not in Iowa.

Based upon the statistical margin of error, the headline is accurate.

We definitely don't need a candidate who's concerned about polls and pandering to special interests/groups. Nor do Americans need a candidate who makes money off the back of the little guy when they lose their homes. And we don't need a President who will have you waiting because his hair needs a little extra grooming...GO Figure!

I really think that the American voters in 2008 is in line with what Americans have always done: opt for change when the status quo is leading to destruction and chaos. Hillary ahs reveaed to me that she is not the fine person I believed her to be; she is overarching and more harmfully ambitious than is warranted. We cannot afford her.

I think Obama would more intelligently and less belligerently press the interests of our country than Hillary, who does not understand the quality of quiet strength and persistence as opposed to bellowing.

If she wins, the party will lose its third in a row presidential election as it did in 1980, 1984, and 1988, all of which were lost by mainstream Democrats.

Each one is slicker than the other.

I can't wait to see how long it takes for Hillary to come up with her new slogan. The one Bhutto used. "I'm doing it for the children, I'm a mother too!"

Already Obie has learned how to sidestep the issues and spin when his strategists make offhanded remarks.

Oh, let's not forget Haircut Johnnie, how many times has he told about being the 1st to speak with Musharref? As if HE carries any weight over there.

This Democratic Party nomination isn't about who is better than the other, it's trying to find out who is not the worst!

Go Mike Go
