Other than being married to Bill, and having the Bill-machine behind her what exactly has she been fighting for or against?

I voted for Bill twice and would have voted for him again if I could - I also voted for Hillary here in NY - but cannot vote for her for President - her fellow NY Senator Schumer has been doing the heavy lifting for her in the senate, bill''s been doing the heavy lifting for her presidency and she''s fighting just to get people to like her and trust her.

That''s not the ''fighting spirit'' we need. Sorry - but it just isn''t. I do not think that as a country we need one more minute of the Bush/Clinton era type ''fights''. It''s over - Bill was great president - Hillary won''t be - she just doesn''t have it.

wow - lot of negativity here boy.

I''m for Edwards - he''s the epitome of the American Dream - he''s smart, bright, intelligent - he knows what its like to be an ordinary American middle class person working their tail off to get ahead.

I also think he has what it takes to reach across the great Bush Divide and make the country a little more united - anyone have a problem with Middle America uniting up no matter what color or religion??

Sir, those are just your opinions that have no basis in fact whatsoever.

Even here, in the seat of the republican party in Texas there are people coming out in droves to support Hillary.

Most of them are independents who are scared to death of the evangelical republican candidates, and can''t find it in themselves to vote for Guiliani who is obviously a crook.

What this all comes down to is YOUR opinion, just like mine is.

I think she will make a very good president, not because she''s a woman, although that too is a good thing, but because she has the fighting spirit, and the push power to get things done. Which she has done all her adult life!

As an independent voter, I say, vote for Ron Paul.

Congressman Ron Paul stands the best chance to win the presidency since his views make the most sense to the most voters. He''s not middle of the road, right wing or left wing or any of that nonsense.

Ron Paul has a clear message: Let''s hold our government accountable, stop the free spending habits of both parties and bring our troops home & out of harm''s way as quick as we possibly can.

McCain has been a part of the Republican free spending majority for too long. He has lost sight of any sort of fiscal responsibility. John''s rah rah pro-war foreign policy will bankrupt the treasury.

The closer the vote in Iowa, the more meaningless the vote is.

As an independent voter, I say, vote for John McCain.

Bush/Clinton = opposite sides of the same coin - do not let them fool you. They''re cut from the same cloth.

GladI''mNotOJ...You are right in what you said in your post. But, you will never get through to guys like tuckerndfw. You might as well argue with your dog. If you look at right wing radio, Rush, Hannity, Savage, ect. you will see that they spin everything so that they are right no matter what the facts show. By telling outright lies and half truths they muddy up the water so truth becomes twisted and distorted. I believe that in the next election the American people are going to open their eyes and elect the person who can get the job done. The true issues are getting some attention now and although we are a little slow sometimes, we will eventually get it right.

Presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee crossed a picket line recently and by doing so slapped the American worker across the face. With good paying American jobs going overseas at an alarming rate, do we really want a leader who%u2019ll cross a picket line? When a worker is struggling for fair wages and benefits it is reprehensible for anyone to cross a picket line. In a field of candidates, please don%u2019t vote for someone who has contempt for the American worker. Support anyone but Huckabee.

Madam President. Get over it, Get used to it. Then get on with your lives. Put down your coke-spoons and your crack-pipes and sober up, get real.

Gee, Huckabee crossed a picket line after he said he was in favor of labor. That does''nt sound like any Repugnatcan I''ve ever heard of.
