  • Hillary will get thrashed by repubs if she wins the nomination

    [Read the article: The GOP attack plan for Hillary Clinton]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The GOP has been dying to run against Hillary. They make no bones about it. 66% of republicans feel she is easier to beat than Obama.

    http://www.gallup.com/poll/104554/Democrats-Republicans-Obama-Likely-Win-Nomination.aspx

    If she wins the nomination, expect to see documentaries like "Indicting Hillary" or "Hillary!Uncensored" played over and over again. They will talk about the hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal campaign donations she has received. They will bring up David Rosen, her former campaign director indicted on federal charges of filing bogus financial reports with the Federal Election Commission. They will bring up her status conference set for April 25, 2008, when the Paul v Clinton trial will be set. They will air out all her dirty laundry...whitewater, travelgate, billing-gate, Castle Grande, cattlegate, and on and on...

  • Hillary pays her staff top dallars but doesn't pay her bills owed to universities

    [Read the article: Cashing in on the Clinton campaign]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Hillary seems to be able to pay her staff but not her bills. UC Davis is giving the Hillary campaign one month to pay her bills.

    UC Davis spokesman Mitchel Benson said they've contacted the Clinton campaign three times seeking payment. If the money doesn't show up within the next month, "it will go to a collection agency," Benson said.

    http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/04/06/BAAU1006M1.DTL

    UC Santa Barbara is owed $11,112, UC Davis is owed $5,486, Cal State Northridge in L.A. County is waiting for $13,611, and San Diego State, $10,000 - all for the use of halls for Clinton rallies.

    A very sad state for the Hillary campaign

  • Media playing the sexism vs. racism card again and avoiding the real issues, like paying her bills.

    [Read the article: My last word (for now) on sexism]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Here we go again with the media playing the sexism card, the media playing the racism card. Hillary is losing because she has been running a poor campaign. Now she has issues paying her campaign bills. She pays her staff Penn, Wolfson, et al. top dollar but doesn't pay her bills owed to universities.

    UC Santa Barbara is owed $11,112, UC Davis is owed $5,486, Cal State Northridge in L.A. County is waiting for $13,611, and San Diego State, $10,000 - all for the use of halls for Clinton rallies...

  • Why Hillary shouldn't be winning... Hillary ran a lousy campaign, she doesn't pay her bills, etc...

    [Read the article: Why Hillary Clinton should be winning]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Hillary has ran a lousy campaign. She has underutilized the Internet to fill her coffers, she doesn't have the groundwork like Obama, her big state strategy and neglecting states she could have won, Mark Penn, not keeping Bill under control, and the list goes on....

    She should have fired Penn, even before the Columbia conflict of interest. Although Bill maybe a stronger supporter of free trade with Columbia. And now we have word that she hasn't been paying her bills owed to universities, screwing over California tax payers.

    UC Santa Barbara is owed $11,112, UC Davis is owed $5,486, Cal State Northridge in L.A. County is waiting for $13,611, and San Diego State, $10,000 - all for the use of halls for Clinton rallies...

    How can Hillary control the Federal budget when she can't even control her own campaign finances.

  • Hillary pay your bills!!!

    [Read the article: No, Hillary Clinton shouldn't be winning]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    How can anyone trust Hillary to manage the Federal budget if she can't even control her campaign finances. UC Davis is about to send her non-payment of services to a collection agency.

    UC Santa Barbara is owed $11,112, UC Davis is owed $5,486, Cal State Northridge in L.A. County is waiting for $13,611, and San Diego State, $10,000 - all for the use of halls for Clinton rallies...

    Hillary has run a poor campaign. Although, one could blame Penn for her second place performance, it is her campaign and she is ultimately responsible. There have been too many mis-calculations. Too many lies. Now she sounds like a political hack...saying anything to get elected.

    No, Hillary Clinton shouldn't be winning.

  • KateTex Hillary is unelectable

    [Read the article: Breaking the Democratic deadlock]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Two reasons that are seldom mentioned why Hillary is unelectable in the general election:

    Her 47% ceiling. She has not been able to break through disapproval poll numbers. Since she ran for the Senate, the Republican attack machine launched a crusade against Hillary. Now people either like her or hate her.

    Second point, she has a problem with trust and honesty. Only 39% of Americans believe she is honest and trustworthy compared to Obama and McCain in the 60's.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/15/AR2008041502883.html

    Even in early March, her numbers were only in the 40's.

    These numbers will not win a general election

  • Renegade Iconoclast its 1.5 million donors!

    The Obama campaign has reached its goal of 1.5 million donors last night. While Hillary still gets her campaign donations from the elite.

  • bahasa Hillary is behind in the popular vote

    [Read the article: Night lands Clinton closer to oblivion]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Even with MI and FL, Hillary is behind in the popular vote. With Obama's big win in NC, he is now ahead of her in all areas including the popular vote with MI and FL.

  • Bahasa: Hillary is behind in the popular vote

    [Read the article: Night lands Clinton closer to oblivion]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Fact: Hillary is behind in the popular vote including MI and Fl. Even before Obama's win in NC, that was a questionable argument since the current popular vote totals do not include Iowa, Nevada, Washington & Maine. The popular vote totals from those states have not been released. so for Hillary to say that she was ahead in the popular vote would disenfranchise the voters of those states. Here are the current vote totals:
