Do we really want another Clinton in office? Didn't we see enough of Hillary already? Standing by her 35 plus years of political experience really isn't the best background...hasn't anyone told her we US citizens are sick to death of the same old politics? Is she going to win the office and then go through some kind of dramatic change? And her age IS a factor - no one's afraid to tell John McCain - obviously no one wants to mention this to Hillary. She's just too old. She looks really rough just from the time she's spent on the campaign trail. She'll never survive the rigors of President of the US. And I'm a female that would love to vote for the first female president. And really Bill....stay at home! Obama, you gotta push it!!!!! Do we really want another Clinton in office?

Senator Clinton's 8 years in the WH gave her many such opportunities. Once-a-week debates (like using TIVO) are intended to prevent us from seeing his crowds at rallies, hearing him speak and answer questions in person, unfiltered by the so-called pundits of the media.

In times of change i wouldn't call it advantage, we're not talking about DVD-Players here. Name recognition might work for ignorants or uneducated people, but in this case it is rather the opposite. "Clinton" has some worn out aftertaste. 20th century. I guess it's a perspective thing, though. "Hillary has more money." "Some people say" she's a bit short on campaign money. Hence the Fox deal? What's all the money worth if the person appears totally artificial? You can't buy all the people, you're really poor if you have to. Wealth shouldn't play any role in elections, but unfortunately it does. "Hillary is better in debates." Technically maybe. Shrill parrot talk might impress naive folks but puts them to sleep shortly after. I rather listen to authentic HUMAN stutter. Nobody is perfect, but Hillary wants to be. Also, the more Barack talks, the more popular he gets, his appearance is really calm and presidential. "Hillary has Bill." ..because without him she wouldn't be where she is. This is about Hillary not Billary. Yet she seems to need his support. "Hillary wants to win." They all want to win but i think Barack has more fun doing his thing, which is healthy for the back. Hillary is doing it for herself, not for the people. I dislike this "at all costs" approach, it smells bad and will lead to misery. Hillary has some skills but she's a maniac (just look at her pics over the net with her eyeballs almost popping out) and the personification of crave and fall. History will decide. :) Red Democrat,

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME he was stopped because he was driving an expensive car? Think about. They have both played the gender card and the race card and are showing their true colors.

Hillary is so experienced that she will think every little issue to death and then come to the American Citizens with a long-winded story and tears as to why we should agree with her. Obama bashers are just upset because they realize that Obama is the best choice for president. Get over yourselves Clintons it's Obama's turn to lead this country. I hear dumb people.

Although we could hear more of them from Hillary and Obama just to clarify of few other important issues they stand for. Hillary's strength of being a great communicator and organizer and someone who gets-the-job-done comes from all the years she worked as an attorney, child advocate, woman leader, wife of a: politician, former governor and former president and now as a senator herself. Hillary will stand up and do more for our country than her counterpart. We need to send her back to the White House so she can continue her service to the American people.
