Hillary is getting desperate
As she engages in pathetic attacks on the teenager Obama was 30 years ago, she will be left in the dust by the man Obama is today.

Don't List to What She Says . . . .
As to whether the Clinton campaign is involved in this incident, don't listen to what they say, watch what they do. Will they send Shaheen packing like they did campaign staffer in Iowa who forwarded e-mail about Sen. Obama being a Muslim sleeper agent? I some how doubt it. But if she really wants to disassociate the campaign from the remark, that's the only way to do it.
I knew an old coach in junior high who used to say, "I can't hear what you're saying because what you're doing speaks so loudly!"

Oh my, how horrible, Hillary is fighting back, what an outrage!
Why is Salon so anxious to demean Hillary? Why this nitpicking? When both Obama and Edwards were pounding on Hillary, attacking her for everything they could get their hands on, not a whimper from anyone at Salon, or its posters. Not that the tables have turned, you're all griping and whining. I'm a progressive, but I certainly don't view democratic moderates, as enemies. What a bunch of insular, narrow minded snobs you all are.

Meltdown
Wow, it's like seeing the Howard Dean scream played out bit by bit over time.
I am waiting, patiently, for Senator Clinton to resume her positive campaigns, to begin convincing Americans of her strengths rather than pointing at the flaws of her opponents.
What Clinton fails to grasp is that Democrats, Independents, and many Republicans --Americans-- are desperate for new politics. We yearn for a president with the moral authority given by a clear mandate from the people to put an end to the divisive and bitter political scene that is slowly by surely corroding this great nation. Obama is increasingly looking like the candidate who can step up to our lofty demands.
Let the Republicans attack him! Let them attack him for being honest and for learning from his mistakes. It is any Presidential candidate's wildest dream to have the most pointed criticism directed at his foolish behavior as a 16 year old boy.
Senator Clinton needs to stop this. She's not just jeopardizing her chances at the nomination, she's now risking her legacy as a formidable politician.

She does realise
that Bush and Bill had pretty much the same things said about them?

Revealing..
That Obama has not come out against the state religion, the War On (some) Drugs.
Obama the candidate would imprison Obama the teenager.
With religion defined as belief in the absence of evidence, then the US politician's belief, not just in the absence of evidence, but in the presence of a great deal of negative evidence that prohibition works has now become the state religion of "The Land of the Free"..
Supported almost to a man by Democrats and Republicans both.
-
A Republican attack on Obama?
How could the Republicans attack Obama on his drug use? All the Dems would have to say is that the Republicans elected and reelected a recovering cocaine addict and alcoholic and were they implying that the rules were different for a Democrat? End of story.

Another Example
Of Hillary Rhodam Clinton's well run and strictly disciplined campaign.
Can she stick her foot further down her throat?

'Because She Knows How To Fight; She Knows How To Win'
This is exactly the behavior that attracts those Democrats who- sick of fighting the good fight- 'just want to win'.
When you ask someone why they support Hillary, and they tell you it's because she knows how to fight the Republicans, this is what they're talking about. She's just as good at whisper campaigns (the low-level staffers circulating email rumors) and direct insinuations as Karl Rove. She knows how to fight. She knows how to win.
So, if someone offers you that argument for their support of Hillary, think of this and ask yourself if you're that desperate yet.

Drugs are bad m'kay?
Let's just make them all illegal and that way the pharamas could make at least a 100 times the profit for each drug they hawk.
I'd be willing to go on the black market and buy some cough syrup if that is what it takes to make America drug free.
I'd even pay a hundred dollars for a bottle of aspirin just so school kids couldn't have their lives ruined - even if i had to go down to LaFayette Park in the middle of the night toscore some.
I still think they should go after the hard drugs like antibiotics and cancer drugs because those are contrary to natural selection and evolution. Those folks who "need" then would probably be better off dying rather than being responsible for upestting the course and balance of nature.
After we solve the drug problem, I think there is something else that we could target and by eliminating improve our society. Let's get rid of make-up. It is just too damned deceptive. The Obama's supporters could wag their fingers at Hillary.
That would be sweet.

re: Hillary's Campaign
Some People are quite comfortable with things from the gutter. After 8 years of gutter politics, we don't need another 8 years of the United States experiencing life through the eyes of politicians who cannot raise their vision higher than the curb.

Only Hillary Can Win! Obama Is a Luxury We Can't Afford!
Democrats! LISTEN! I know and you know Obama can't win. He carries a lot of liberal baggage that hasn't been vetted and probably won't be unless the republicans go after him as nominee in the general election. Blacks may or may not vote for him; even if they do, other minorities (Hispanics, Asians) won't since they are more distrustful of blacks than they are of whites. Many whites won't vote for him on racial grounds even though they would never admit to such a tendency. He has very unformed ideas on foreign policy, what to do about the war, immigration, etc. Any reasonably strong Republican candidate will defeat him. This is not pretty, but it is the reality! We cannot invite 4 more years of republican misrule by nominating this man. There may come a time for him, but this is not it.
Oh yes -- don't forget -- why would the republican attack machine be focusing on Hillary if they wanted her to be nominated? They absolutely do not want her to be nominated -- they know Obama would be much easier to beat!
