Is there a story to go along with the photo?

JOHN SMITH,GA   December 29th, 2007 3:13 pm ET

where is the story? GO HRC 08

Undecided   December 29th, 2007 3:25 pm ET

I am undecided but leaning toward Clinton as my choice. She is more Presidential than any of the others. Her experience and love for the country is undeniable. I think she will be a great President.

Bill Martin   December 29th, 2007 3:57 pm ET

I am hoping Hillary will get the nomination! She will make a great President. She is a proven leader and a fine person. Her resolve and her love for the people of America is unmatched by any other canidate.

Go Hillary!!!

Marko Dezdri, Portland, OR   December 29th, 2007 4:00 pm ET

To all of you undecided and hopeful Americans:

I'm not going to ask you to support Hillary because I support her. I want you to take the time to get to know her, to know where she stands, what she's done and where she's going to take us.
My philosophy has always been: If you don't like Hillary, you don't know Hillary.
I don't like where America stands now: with the highest economic deficit in history, very vulnerable to terrorists attacks, hated by everyone in the world, in the abyss of depression, with the worst health care system of all industrialized countries and with the highest rate of birth mortality of all industrialized countires.
Where has the United States gone? That same United States I'm so proud to represent. I'm an American and I love this country. I know Hillary loves this country dearly and she will work hard for it like she has done her entire life!!

Take the time to learn about her. Hillary 2008!

Beth & Jeff Chicago, IL - HILLARY IN 2008   December 29th, 2007 4:03 pm ET

We're proud to stand up and show our support for Hillary '08 :)

Bob Witmer   December 29th, 2007 4:03 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is an ungenuine politician. For some reason, CNN adores her. There isn't even a story, AND the picture is completely irrelevant to anything. If you want to put up a powerful image, how about one of Barack Obama in front of 28,000 admirers in South Carolina?! That is powerful.

Barack Obama is who we need. You can't promise "change" if you count being a first lady seven years ago as experience. If you want to tie yourself into a past administration, then don't go saying that you will have a fully new concept for America. Instead of going with Hillary and de-evolving back to the 90's, why not go with Barack and evolve into the future?

Obama 08!

Z-I   December 29th, 2007 4:04 pm ET

I disagree. For some reasons, she does not seem real to me. I am looking someone who is a real leader, not just go by the polls or something else. I will go with Obama. I however think Edward is teh worst. He sounds either Chavez or Castro to me….

Tom, ALBUQUERQUE, NM   December 29th, 2007 4:05 pm ET

Next week Iowa Caucus will usher in a new era in American politics. I predict Hillary Clinton will win big in Iowa and parlay that victory into a watershed of victories in the following primaries. We can begin to write the obits on friday. It"s a great field of DEMS but Hillary is by far heads and tails above her rivals. Iowa is the start of a historical event leading all the way to the oval office.

Danny G. Boca Raton, FL   December 29th, 2007 4:10 pm ET

The story is that she is working VERY hard to earn every vote and to reach to ALL IOWANS. unlike the other candidates that have spend 5-10 days of the month in the sate opposed to her 24 days (only to leave for voting and christmas). she is commited to the camaign and the work is paying off…

GO HRC 08

Dennis, Anchorage, Alaska   December 29th, 2007 4:12 pm ET

Go Hillary! I'm excited to hear your ideas as the Democratic nominee. I'm confident you'll clean up Bush's mess :)

Chris S - Gerald, MO   December 29th, 2007 4:25 pm ET

"Scenes from the trail: Clinton works the rope line"

Wow, they make her sound like a seasoned boxer. They have one thing right though, Hillary is up against the ropes. People are waking up and realizing the 2 gentlemen currently trailing her are much more genuine. Way to go guys, keep Mrs Flip-Flop on the ropes.

EDWARDS '08

Aidyn, NY   December 29th, 2007 4:53 pm ET

Go HILLARY 08!!

Ginny, Byron, CA   December 29th, 2007 4:57 pm ET

Hillary has all the right credentials, savvy, know-how, intelligence, and experience. She is exactly the person we need to lead our country in these troubled times. We are so lucky to have her!
GO HILLARY!!

Jaime Scottsdale,AZ   December 29th, 2007 5:08 pm ET

For you people who want a story along with the picture go to http://www.hillaryclinton.com. And be sure to check out the FACT CHECK. It is really easy and above the fray. Also, remember, a picture is worth a thousand words. She is working for her votes, not yelling, preaching, or making irrational threats. She is walking the line with the people. That is Leadership. That is Presidential.

Hillary 08

La'Kitgum, Concord, NH   December 29th, 2007 5:10 pm ET

Vote Hillary for Sense and Sensibility….!

La'Kitgum, Concord, NH   December 29th, 2007 5:11 pm ET

This is free ad for Hillary '08. CNN knows where the money is. I love them,

Vote Hillary for Sense and Sensibility. Yahoooooooooooo!

Chris, Orlando, FL   December 29th, 2007 5:24 pm ET

Hill, we've missed you in Florida! I can't wait until you have the nomination so you can work the ropes in the Sunshine State. Go HRC in '08!

Boomer   December 29th, 2007 5:37 pm ET

Gee, I like them all! But Hillary is really full of beans and a winner. Bill will be the best campaign manager and advisor ever! Go, Mrs. Clinton, go!!! She is the Liberal counterpart of Margaret Thatcher!

Jack   December 29th, 2007 5:37 pm ET

I am an independant, and very proud of that. I vote across partisanship barriers based on the real issues and genuine leaders. I educate myself on EVERY person running for office and make my decision based on my findings. I honestly feel sorry for anyone who supports Hillary Clinton. They obviously have not followed her record, and they must lack the ability to harness some common sense. As the person said before "how can you talk about change when you claim that being first lady in a prior administration give you experience?" besides, everything Bill put her in charge of she royally messed up (by the way I loved Bill Clinton as president). And how can you say "well i'd be good as president because i learned from my mistakes from being first lady". So you are admitting that you have made major mistakes and had poor leadership, and this is supposed to convince us you are fit for the most important job in the nation?????? This next election I will be voting Republican…..unless by some miracle Obama pull out with the nomination. In which case…..I'm going with Barack.

Jen Cedar Falls, IA   December 29th, 2007 5:59 pm ET

This is a good picture of the biggest divider in politics on either side of the aisle. If given the White House, she will divide our country even more than it's ever been in our lifetime! There's no middle ground with her. You hate her or love her, period! Look at what the hate for Bush did to us in the last 8 years. That's scary and we can't waste our time being further divided. Go for Anybody But Clinton!

Len, Fallbrook, CA   December 29th, 2007 6:11 pm ET

" to know where she stands, what she's done and where she's going to take us."

I'll bite, please tell us because everytime she trys her story changes.

Faye   December 29th, 2007 6:17 pm ET

My 92 year old Grandfather told me in 1997 Hillary Clinton would be
president one day as she is a wonderful, smart, intelligent women -
always working for the people!!! He was right. Go HILLARY!!!!

localjim, Ft. Lauderdale, Fl   December 29th, 2007 6:19 pm ET

Hillary does not represent change. Having the Groper back in the white house does not mean change.
History has shown that people have a tendency to be afraid of change. Is that what the problem is with all you Hillary supporters.
Do you think she will unite this country? The republicans will spent the next for years attacking and attempting to have her impeached for the slightest thing and you all know she Will lie or cheat somehow. Is that wehat we really want to go through AGAIN?
She can not be trusted. Why does she not turn over documents from her so called white house experience.
What foreign policy experience does she really have. Being a High profile socialite?? what does she know about the suffering in Darfur, Pakistan or any other 3rd world country??
At least Senator Obama worked on helping those in Darfur. With another Republican no less (Sen Tom Brownback)
She will be a lame duck president from the start.
She is the FARTHEST thing from change.
Her so called experience will not change nothing!!
We dont want to see the Groper running with his pants down in the white house going after some intern, AGAIN

Gil - California   December 29th, 2007 6:38 pm ET

My philosophy has always been: If you like Hillary, you don't know Hillary.

E, Layton UT, Freiburg Germany   December 29th, 2007 6:40 pm ET

Check out the Obama Campaign's updated website - barackobama.com. Read through the plans found on the Issues menu link on the homepage - then view a handful of the videos on "BarackTV" (link on the right on the homepage). Then, if you're still a die hard Hillary fan, you're entitled to that right. As for me, being a "conservative, it's not cool to cry" sort of guy, I get choked up with his message of Hope, Change and **Working Together**. But more importantly, he motivates me to serve my country, to get off my lazy backside and to help out our society!

I've read the issues for all the different candidates and have been following these Primaries for quite a while now…

Oh, and I'm one of those Republicans that would "attack the Democrats"… Obama is for "The People", the "United States", not the "Splintered States". I'm sorry, as smart as Hillary is, she will cause an awful lot of hate in our country - out with the old and in with the new! It's time to move out of nostalgia, think out of the box and get our country moving again!

Check out the website!

hey allons,tn   December 29th, 2007 6:41 pm ET

hey go hillery the best for america

Kim, Sacramento, CA   December 29th, 2007 6:54 pm ET

Why is a picture of Hillary working a rope line a story? If this is the case then CNN should have had "stories" about Barack Obama almost everyday of the campaign since he announced. To contrast their styles - When Barack was in Sacramento the vehicle he was in had barely come to a stop when he hopped out and came to shake hands and greet the media. When HRC was in Sacramento she refused to talk to the media and refused to come outside from her $2,500 per person fundraiser to shake hands with onlookers. I do not want a President who thinks that they are better than everyone else - I do want a President who is real and can identify with the average person and represent them well. That person is Barack Obama.

Further, I want a candidate of substance and a candidate who stands firm on what they say and do - they don't change with the wind and flip flop around more than a freshly caught fish. Again, Barack Obama fills the bill here.

I want a candidate who can bring people together - who has the ability to talk to Republicans and Democrats, pull their ideas together and reach an agreement that has the greatest benefit for the most. This would, again, be Barack Obama.

Let the Leaders Lead, Arcadia, Iowa   December 29th, 2007 6:54 pm ET

Hillary will soon have enough rope to do the deed. She continues to lose favor in Iowa, I am sure she is strong in other states. New York will not go for her, they know her too well. Who ever thought that the carpet baggers were a thing of the past has not followed her career. How is the Hilly Copter to all 99 counties going, oh just another broken promise. She will continue to do a good job as the US Senator from New York.

Maria   December 29th, 2007 6:56 pm ET

No guessing with Hillary. She is smart, hard working and experienced.
You go girl!!!!

Leslie Somerville, Seattle, Washington   December 29th, 2007 6:56 pm ET

Barack Obama is not qualified to take over the deluge of Commander and Chief—he is young, inexperienced, and in some of his remarks it shows greatly. The President of the United States can’t be some cuddly, emotional, touchy feely Gumby doll. What’s required is experience and more experience, international influences, and a steady hand and firm conviction and love for this country—HILLARY CLINTON CAN DO IT!!!! I think that the citizens who write terrible ignorant articles about Hillary, think of her with Bill Clinton (Hillary and Bill, Hillary and Bill-stupid) Hillary Clinton is a woman on her own-fierce and convicted. She is the only one that can save us from the Bush horrors.

MAH   December 29th, 2007 7:17 pm ET

I donot vote for Hillary after seeing so many faces of her for teh last six years. Starting from teh Iraq war and tax issues, she changed hoer positions so many times, and in some cases even every day…

Dorian, Brentwood, Ca   December 29th, 2007 8:52 pm ET

Hillary is the best of the best!! Intelligent, experienced, hard-working, sincere, and a real force to reckon with. She can get the job done! I'll proudly cast my vote for her.
HILLARY '08!

Max   December 29th, 2007 9:55 pm ET

Hillary is a beautiful person but it is not her time.

Go Obama

Bill C   December 29th, 2007 10:13 pm ET

Yeah, I'm not so sure about Hillary or Obama. They had both recieve so much attention for months and months in early 2007 just becuase they were black or a woman. I hope that the people who are not into politics can look past the flashy smoke screen they have been seeing and vote for the candidates that really about change. John Edwards or Ron Paul would get my vote.

Micky J   December 29th, 2007 10:31 pm ET

What's the point in "experience" if you get the decisions wrong?

Hillary was wrong about the war. Obama got it right.

Obama is ready.

Go Obama!!!

Dan, Minneapolis, MN   December 29th, 2007 10:32 pm ET

Change, change, change , change. What is do you mean by the word change? I have heard this before from many people. But nothing has changed. The sixties youth movement believed in change. Feminists believed in change, Sexual revolution believed in change. But what has all this clamor for change gotten the American scene but George Bush, Dick Cheney, Rove, and the neo-cons who prophesied a new world order based on American imperialism!

Kelli, IOWA   December 30th, 2007 12:26 am ET

Obama didn't get it right - HE WASN'T A SENATOR WHEN THEY VOTED FOR THE WAR! Those who DID vote for the war did so with FALSE intelligence from the Bush administration! Hello!!

And why is it you Uh-Obama backers make it sound like Senator Clinton was the ONLY one to vote FOR the war? It took a MAJORITY VOTE, people!

It's really easy to look back on something that happened, and say, "Oh I knew that was a bad idea." Yeah right - and I knew that Katrina would wipe out New Orleans sooner or later. Give it a rest already!

And Uh-Obama has been such a "wonderful" Senator hasn't he - how many times has he either missed votes or voted "present"? NOT leadership in anyone's book I'm afraid. And how many times did he have to run for his first political office before winning…three, four, five times?? He's a real winner all right! NOT!

Senator Clinton has earned her place in the White House…and she will win in 2008!!!

Joe Ossai, Bedford, NH   December 30th, 2007 12:50 am ET

Fired up, ready to go.

Obama 08

Kat, PA   December 30th, 2007 12:57 am ET

I am hoping Hillary will get the nomination! She will make a great President. She is a proven leader and a fine person. Her resolve and her love for the people of America is unmatched by any other canidate.

Go Hillary!!!

Please, tell me how she has proven herself a leader? You mean when she messed up the health care deal in 1993? Or do you mean when she "stood by her man"? Oh wait, maybe you meant when she lied to everyone about the illegal fundraising she and Bill have done? Oh wait…I have so many of these it is hard to know when to stop. And as far as her "love for the people!!!?????!!!????" WTH? She loves one person - herself. Her resolve is to become president, not to help her fellow Americans. Stop smoking whatever it is you are smoking & vote for someone that can actually lead ALL of America - Obama or McCain!

Margarita, Los Angeles   December 30th, 2007 2:01 am ET

WHEN BUBBA WAS IN OFFICE. I COULD PAY MY BILLS AND HAVE MONEY LEFT OVER. I COULD TAKE NICE VACATIONS AND PUT MONEY IN MY MUTUAL FUNDS. LIFE WAS GOOD. GAS AND FOOD WERE AFFORDABLE AND I OWNED 2 HOMES.
THOSE OF YOU THAT THINK LIFE IS GOOD NOW ARE IN DENIAL…
AND IF YOU THINK THAT NINCAMPOP THAT SAY S "MICHELLE WON'T LET ME RUN" IS A GOOD CHOICE PLEASE NOTE THAT HE MISSED 130 IN THE TIME HE HAS BEEN IN OFFICE. BESIDES WE DON'T WANT MICHELLE PUTTING HIM ON TIME OUT FOR MIS-BEHAVING. IF SHE MAKES HIM SIT IN THE CORNER WHO'S GONNA RUN THE COUNTRY, OPRAH?

I WANT BUBBA AND THE SNOW QUEEN BACK… LIFE WAS GOOD.

tina, ny, ny   December 30th, 2007 10:43 am ET

I am sick of hearing that Hillary's vote lead to iraq war. Obama supporter are so DUMB that they don't know

* OBAMA NEVER VOTED FOR THE WAR. I was against the war however there was false information provided..weapons of mass destruction. SO OBAMA stop barking.

*Obama hardly ever votes so that he can make stories later on….what a loser.

His supporters are even bigger losers because they can't even see what a slime ball Obama is.

anyone but no Obama

J. McKinney SW MO   December 30th, 2007 11:12 am ET

***Bob says:
"If you want to put up a powerful image, how about one of Barack Obama in front of 28,000 admirers in South Carolina?! That is powerful."

But we aren't voting for Oprah, are we, Bob? Altho Obama doesn't have much more experience than her.

We definately do need Hillary, and I am hoping and praying she will be our next President. HILLARY '08

Daniel, Iowa   December 30th, 2007 4:29 pm ET

Re: Margarita, Los Angeles

Interesting how this person defines the good life as a fat pocket and full belly. People liek your are so sickeningly selfish and will never have the compassion to buy into a politics based on freedom and good for ALL not just the FEW. You make me sick. Go vote for your Bubba, you deserve him.

I'll vote Obama or Edwards and hope for a better world for all of us, not just you. Sicko.

Janice Goodheart   December 30th, 2007 4:33 pm ET

Dear Kelli, IOWA

You need to check your facts. Obama OPPOSED the war. Whether or not he was an incumbent Senator is immaterial. He was against it, and Hillary was for it.

How dare she bang on about "experience"! She's a phoney who'll lead us into a new war in Iran.

My brother DIED IN IRAQ. How DARE YOU not see this ERROR.

I hate this mentality. Grow up beyond your precious football team support of Hillary.

Obama 08

God Bless

Janel, St. Paul, MN   January 1st, 2008 5:56 pm ET

My question: Is SHE taking questions??
