He just voted against FISA. She did not vote. Just sayin'
Anyway, the problem with Hillary as has been stated ad infinitum is that she appears to be completely devoid of anything beyond her own political ambition. Combine that with the Clintons' "win at all costs and spin the truth any way you want" really just turns people off.
I was a big Bill Clinton fan and was deeply disappointed when he let the GOP endanger this country by giving them the ammunition to weaken his presidency and distract the country from real problems.
Of course Hillary can stand on her own (except that she has kind of coopted her husbands presidential experience hasn't she - 35 years you know) but I know that i am not the only one who is tired of the red state / blue state paradigm and people who win elections by appealing to the worst in us.
I think PA and OH will still be hard. WI is not like those places. The media is making them out to be similar but they are really very different. I think TX is in play for totally different reasons.
All he has to do is tie her in TX not lose to bad in OH or PA and it is over now.
I am curious to see if he will stick to his guns and take public financing in the general election. I think I would like that Obama vs McCain public financing. An honest conversation about where the country is going.
I hope HRC supporters will come around. I recommend the last chapter of his first book if you are interested in knowing more about what type of person he is.
I'm afraid ... I'm afraid ... I'm afraid ...
brought to you by the people who brought you GW & you are buying right into it.
Sometimes, idealism DOES win elections ... like tonight ... and it is a beautiful thing.
Don't some of you people get it that the safe approach has been a failure for the democrats for too long -- being afraid ... trying ot look like psuedo-Republicans ...
c'mon - wake up! - we have a chance for something GREAT here.
When will democrats ever learn that that self-questioning constipation is jUST what the Republicans want & it is playing right into their hands!
Actually, the press was pointing out the truth - that this was a non-story put out by a desperate campaign trying to stave off yet another loss. Well they got their 48 hours of news out of it and too bad it didn't do them a damn bit of good.
Oh and by the way, those lies about Iraq? Apparently Hillary bought them too because she voted to authorize the war.
You're not exactly making a case for Hillary.
Scary, scary, scary!!! A "black" man being elected president of the "United States!!!" Michelle Obama cold!!! Her warm smile conceals her coldness!!!
Actually, it's a big world out there, and even subscribers to Salon can be bat-c&@zy. I voted for Obama, and I'm not scared at all. I expect to be voting for him again in the fall.
As far as "Republican" crossover votes throwing the election for Obama, it's not very likely. A lot of people are questioning their "Republicanism" after the fiasco of the past seven years. If they really were trying to get McCain an easy opponent, they would have voted for Hillary.
Here's a scary thought for the willing to be scared: Barack Obama is elected president, and appoints an "African-American" to the Supreme Court, a woman as U.N. ambassador, and a "gay" person as Secretary of Defense. Two of these things have already been done, and the third almost certainly. It's still enough to get many to hide under their beds, trembling in fear. I'm reminded of Don Knotts on the old Steve Allen show. Too bad he's not still around. He could reprise his man on the street role as a terrified "Republican."
Because they are, well, lets put it this way:
You tell them that Obama appears to lead amongst university graduates, they accuse you of being an arrogant elitist.
The electoral narrative from them has been slamming elitism, for basically the whole primary.
And frankly, Americans got to see what happens when you vote for the anti-intellectual, anti-elitist choice - George W Bush.
Now I am not saying that Hillary supporters are bad people or even that they all seem fixated on getting their own back on those dirty educated people, but rather that those of them that are, appear to be doing their candidate no favours.
I care about the anonymous poster's Ph.D. I'm sure that she is not defined by the degree, but obtaining a Ph.D. requires unbelievable persistence, patience, hard work, and (dare I say it?) hope. We should be proud of those people who are able to achieve such a thing. I think her mentioning the degree was meant to convey that not all Obama supporters are naive, inexperienced, 20-somethings.
First off, do you really think every politician writes his own speeches? News flash: They all have speechwriters. Hillary has them. Obama has them. Deval Patrick, one of Obama's best friends and one of Obama's national campaign co-chair, called Obama last week and suggested that Obama use the lines in question. Deval sent Obama's staff a copy of the speech to use.
Second, the "plagiarism" story was invented, and pushed, by the Clinton campaign. And then Hillary Clinton looked right in the TV cameras and lied about her involvement in the fake "scandal."
Here's what she said today:
"It's not us making this charge, it's the media," Clinton told Honolulu television station KITV Tuesday. "The media is finally examining my opponent which I think is important. We're trying to pick a president, someone for the toughest job in the world."
Here's what the Associated Press reports about Clinton's lie:
"Any suggestion that the story had a life of its own, apart from the Clinton campaign, is disingenuous.... Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson held an hourlong conference call about it Monday and repeated many of the charges during another call Tuesday."
Congratulations, you've just been pwned by the Clinton spin machine.
