For an allegedly emancipated feminist icon, Billary is sure riding Big Bill's Big One as close to the White House as she can get. How much press do Ms. Obama and Elizabeth Edwards get? Not very damned much. Billary's disingenous (read: lying) remark in the SC debate about "we all have strong supportive spouses" was typical of her and her campaign: stick the shiv in an opponents back with a big phony smile on your face. I didn't dislike Billary before this campaign. I thought rather highly of her, really; but the more I see the less I like. The general public, the Murkan sheeple, will have a similar reaction, I fear, should The Anointed One be granted Her Guaranteed Nomination. The media will love it, and we'll lose another unlosable election. Meanwhile, Big Bill is diminishing himself day by day with each preposterous slur about Obama. He's smarter than that, or so I thought. He's less effective with time on his hand instead of Monica in his lap.

It's almost comical, there is a poster here who consistently undermines Obama by focusing ONLY on his color. He has projected things onto Obama that expose his own ignorance and insanity.

Wow, you are doing a good job at taking votes from him with all your hated of other races and cultures. Obama would be disappointed to know you do him such disservice.

You insult cockroaches with your comparison.

Speaking from a Democratic perspective, I think we need to throw Hillary under the bus so we can win this election.

Either Obama or Edwards would cream whoever the Repubs throw up there. (McCain is way too old to be president and once people realize he would continue the failed Bush foreign policy, he is toast. And do you really think Romney or Huckleberry could be elected president? Rudy is their best hope but he is deeply flawed and has more baggage than Paris Hilton setting out for a weekend in the Hamptons.)

It's not at all certain Hillary could win a general election. There are so many who hate her, and Hillary would motivate every last one of them to come out and vote. And they'd bring a Hillary-hating friend to the polls with them.

And even if Hillary should be elected, her administration would be so divisive, so polarized, and so ugly and contentious. We've just had 7 years of that with Bush. Do we really want that kind of administration again?

Throw her under the bus.

The spectacle of a former President assuming the role of a Hit Man for his wife’s primary campaign is a repulsive disgrace. In the recent South Carolina debate Hillary Clinton attempted to dismiss the enormous influence and power of a former President’s advocacy by making the ridiculous assertion that each candidate had a passionate spouse supporting their cause.

Bill Clinton’s “passions” have been painfully well documented and have nothing to do with Michelle Obama. Senator Obama is committed to ending the partisan divide that has debilitated Washington and build a broad based, inclusive majority to drive change. In contrast, the Clintons are lusting for the opportunity to fan the flames of scorched earth politics, perpetuating the dysfunctional status quoi.

The Clinton machine will do whatever it takes; pander, distort, triangulate, fabricate, smear, lie, and pretend to cry, in order to hold onto and expand their power. As a former supporter of Bill Clinton, I will sit on the sidelines in November, as will millions of other Obama supporters, if his wife prevails in the Democratic primary. With 87% of Republicans strongly disapproving of her, she would energize their base to a degree that would be beyond Karl Rove’s wildest fantasy, thus ensuring another loss for the Democrats.

The country faces enormous challenges and can not afford to continue the twenty year Bush/Clinton infighting and gridlock that has polarized the country in a Red state/Blue state mentality. Barrack Obama will build a diverse coalition to bring people of every persuasion together in pursuit of the common good. In addition, he is uniquely suited to restore our nation’s tarnished global image and give an eloquent, inspirational voice to an America that we can once again be proud of. It is time to have the courage to elect Barrack Obama as the next President of the United States.

Licking Obama's bootie again, huh? Enjoy!

It is fair to go after her for riding on her husband's coattails--when being married to a president is precisely the special experience Clinton is bringing before the public as to why she is more qualified to be president than Obama. Her Senate record would not distinguish her in a similar way.

That attitude is part of the problem. You don't know what Hillary Clinton did in Washington and have a rather "common" take on this particular argument.

I'm afraid that your take on things is a common one. I'm afraid that many like you will not look at Obama's record in the Senate (it's far more impressive than hers) and say those who are for Obama are trying to vote for a black man. Those who vote against Clinton must be "hillary haters" or sexist. It's a shallow take on the issues.

Once again, you're making assumptions here. It depends on a definition of "impressive." The Hill does have a record of experience, both as First Lady and in the Senate. It doesn't happen to jibe with your view of "impressive" or your view of "experience," as I noted above.

Here, let me just say that I do appreciate your pointing out that not everybody who hates Hillary Clinton is sexist. That was over the top on my part. However, the past couple days of reading blogs, news, posts that inject comments (like the "husband's coattails" and far worse) have given me that perspective. I want to believe that sexism and racism don't play roles in the attitudes, beliefs and views of supporters in both "camps," but it's been tough to find a lot of non-rabid commentary. I will say that anti-Obama posts I have read don't seem as vitriolic as those from anti-Hillary posters. But again, maybe that's just my perspective at this moment.

Finally, why the anonymous posting? I was dismayed to get to the end and see that. My personal view about this is that it, too, is pretty shallow...
