I don't think so, she showed weakness, I don't think she can handle being a president, and I very much doubt that tears will get her way with domestic and foreign issues. It's Barack O Mania in America!!! Can Hillary cry her the way to the White House?

There's only one way that HRC will actually get out of the Presidential race. And that is if all the Democratic primary voters will get her out by NOT VOTING for her. She may have a lock on a number of the superdelegates, but if we, as Democrats, can get enough pledged delegates to vote for her at the convention, then the way will be set for an Obama/Edwards or Edward/Obama ticket. Trust me, neither one of them will ask HRC to be their VP. That would be Mondale/Ferraro all over again, IMHO. But Obama/Edwards would not only be an electable ticket, but it would put them in positions to really make the changes they're talking about. As VP, Edwards would be President of the Senate, and I think he could wield that gavel very well. Darth Cheney has been the most powerful VP in US History, but imagine if someone like Edwards (or even Obama) could trump him and use that power for good instead of going to the dark side. :) And with the potential for up to 3 Supreme Court Justices retiring in the next 4-8 years..Bush's stacking of the court could be potentially reversed and freedom could once again ring loud and clear in this country.

The first 10 or 15 minutes of the NH debate looked like the Obama/Clinton Show. Finally when Edwards was given a chance to talk, he made mention a few times that in Iowa.... he came in second, he beat Hillary, now that she's behind.... It's about time somebody said it! Too bad he has to toot his own horn. The press should be saying it, calling it an upset, a surprise victory over Hillary, a second-place showing. Isn't that what NEWS is? Something unexpected? Instead, they continue to talk like it's a two-way race between Hillary & Obama. Is it not newsworthy that Obama & Clinton outspent Edwards by about 4 to 1, and Edwards still managed to come in second? Is it not newsworthy that Obama bussed in college students from Illinois to vote in the Iowa caucus, because in Iowa you can register and vote the same day? Is it just a coincidence that the media is continually promoting the two candidates that the Republicans would most like to run against? Is that too hard for the media to swallow?

Sure, Obama and Clinton have star power (shhhh! because they are a black man and a woman) and don't forget Oprah. I say Edwards/Obama is the winning ticket. Combined, they've got enough experience. But not too much to be corrupt (Clinton). Also, Edwards can capture the southern /rural/heartland vote (important) and Obama would capture, the right/left coast liberals, young people, women, and the black vote. Together, they could do alot of good and turn this country around. John Edwards is the most viable candidate in the democratic party to beat a republican in Nov.

Obama counted his experience of foreign policy from under 10 years old and college study too. You should read Hillary's Living History first before open your silly mouth. Hillary's experiences are over 35 years if she count like Obama did. People refuse to know Hillary and criticize her, it is not a contructive idea for our Country. Just read "Living History", then you will recognize how foolish your comment is. S.K.M, Boston, what kind of math are you using?

He was the candidate best positioned to benefit from the idiosyncrasies of Iowa's caucus process, yet still he lost. While I agree with his position on corporate greed, Edwards is not an effective messenger and he sounds increasingly shrill. Perhaps the best way he can facilitate change is to withdraw, rather than to divide the anti-Hillary vote and inadvertently aid her cause. Edwards' quest is quixotic.

John Edwards is honestly "angry", not "crazy" angry, because he is fighting for the millions of poor and middle class Americans. Just because a person is passionate and concerned about real issues doesn't make them out-of-control. He's channeling what are obviously strong feelings in a truly righteous cause -- health insurance and tax relief for the poor and the middle class. Actually, rather than go to a therapist, maybe you should go to a voting booth and cast your ballot for John Edwards for President. It just might make you feel better about yourself.

Obama wouldn't ask him to be VP anyway, I don't think. Hillary is ready to go--REALLY--not just verbally "fired up and ready to go". I have never heard Obama say just what change he has in mind, except it will be a change to have a black president, I guess. Same as it would be a change to have a woman president. Only difference is that the black one is inexperienced, and the woman is ready to run things from day 1. We need Hillary. She actually knows how to make the changes, not just talk about them.

I do have to wonder about the six years on the board for Wal Mart which you left out.

Universal health care is a great idea and should have worked in the 90's. I am not in favor mandated anything, even health care. It will take much more than wanting it to happen. Our President will need to work across party lines to accomplish anything and she is not the person to do that. I consider my self to be fairly well informed on Hillary's resume and positions. My son. a successful attorney is a big Hillary supporter and we have debated her for year now. Don't worry...she will get his vote and we will cancel each other out. May the best man win!

Hillary Clinton is too entrenched with the corporate lobbyists to do us any good. As far as I'm concerned she'd only continue giving these large corporations exactly what they want because she has been listening to them and meeting with them far too often to expect anything else. And I'm basing this in part on the so-called survey she sent to Democrats early last year about the time she declared her candidacy. All of the questions had pre-implied answers and were so one-sided it was ridiculous, and none of them even began to address the very serious problems we have in this country, It was clear from the start that she was only looking for people to focus only surface 'hot button' issues, and not on the important issues like the employment and housing crisis we face and stopping Congress from wasting billions of dollars each year on all these stupid entitlements. In other words, the questions she asked about health care, for example, were geared toward still paying off the insurance and pharmceutical companies who would lose money if there were any real reform in health care. Frankly, I was disgusted and wrote a very angry letter back asking her not to insult my intelligence like that again. As much as I respect Barach Obama's desire to bring change to the presidency, I simply don't think he's capable. I really don't. I honestly believe that this country will only find real change for the better if John Edwards becomes our next President.

$100 or $1000 absolutely do it. He needs the money because unlike Hillary and Obama he didnt take any pac or lobbyist money. Everything he gets will be matched by the feds but not until March, which leaves him short of money to keep going.

So if you can send anything, send it.

I'm convinced he would return America to what it's supposed to be: FOR THE PEOPLE !!

Edwards took second place in Iowa, and by tradition, the spot-light moves to the the two top finishers in the New Hampshire contest. This hasn't happened! WHY? Mr. Edwards finished Iowa with a significantly higher percentage of the vote in Iowa over his 2004 showing (he came in second that year as well). I'm sure Hillary/Obama makes great copy (great story, no doubt!), but be fair and mentally honest about it. I'm annoyed at you media folks for STILL only focusing on Hillary/Obama.

The leading candidates for the Democratic Party all have legal backgrounds. I tell you if I needed a lawyer to fight for me from that group it would be Edwards hands down. Sat by his wife at a town meeting in Iowa....Great lady, common and down-to-Earth. Yes, they have a few bucks and are living the American Dream but it wasn't handed to them. I suppose if I had worked my butt off and gone to law school I could be way more comfortable than I am now. I like Obama but I am not sure he has enough fight to square up to those that aren't willing to negotiate. An Obama/Edwards debate would be great but that would make Hillary pout.

He teamed up with Obama to bring down Hillary, that is quiet interesting. And for media they have thier own stories and headlines. Not surre if Edward in running for Pres or VP.
