Some of us know what we will do on day one, and some of us haven''t, maybe, thought that through enough."

Can she really be that dumb? I am quite sure that any candidate has fantisized many times about what they would do the first day of their presidency.

On issue after issue, while Democrats offer real solutions and new ideas to provide the American people with the change they want, the Republicans can only offer a third Bush term.

Puleeze!!!
Remember while growing up "the kid" no one liked playing games with because he/she was such a sore loser? He/she would say things like, "they cheated", "that wasn''t fair", "its not my fault that everyone was against me, even my own teammates", etc... Hillary is acting like that kid. Politics is a grown-up''s game. Hillary needs to grow up or get out.

I don''t believe Hillary was being disingenuous when she answered that personal question in the cafi. She''s a real person and answered the question honestly. Hillary is only a polarizing figure because half of us are intimidated by a strong woman with conviction. We are lucky enough to have Hillary on our side, there''s no need or time to ''be hating'' now. The big picture is we need her experience and her drive as the President of the United States. She has a lot of great ideas and a good track record with the strength and conviction to do great things for this country. This is not a power trip, it''s real.

HRC''s tears are crocodile tears for voters. They are tears of disappointment, for she knows she is losing what she has internalized as being her due: the Democratic nomination. But entitlement breeds arrogance, and arrogance does not an effective politician make. HRC has been off the mark with terrorism and war policies, and has tended to be a reactionary type of leader.

Also, if this brings her to tears, what would the presidency do to her? I believe HRC is a little fairy princess in her own little world, and that now she is getting some hard doses of reality. She should reflect on herself and how honest she has been about her motivation and ambition. There is a great deal of her drive that is based on egotism and narcissism, although that is not all bad.

Forced, conveniently-timed, disingenuous and manipluative tears aside, as a lifelong Democrat I believe Hillary is the wrong person at the wrong time as a candidate for President. First, Hillary is not electable. More than half of potential voters would never vote for her. Second, Hillary is just as inexperienced as Obama. Other than her relatively short time as a New York senator, she has no previous experience as an elected official, and no experience in the public or private sectors running or managing a large enterprise. Third, she is a highly polarizing force, who if elected President would be the Democratic equivalent of %u201CW%u201D: arrogant, and unable to parlay or negotiate with those on the other side of the aisle (and therefore unable to get things done). Like W, she has an alienating %u201Cmy way or the highway%u201D personality. While I consider Obama a complete lightweight, and Edwards little more than a cutie boy tort lawyer with a worn-out class warfare message, either one of them would serve the country better than Hillary, who really stands for nothing more than the proposition of getting herself elected to office. Finally, we are all quite tired of Bush- and Clinton-style shenanigans. It%u2019s time to try something new and different. Our country is in big trouble, and it will take a real leader to extricate this nation from the deep, deep pit Bush has dug for us.

I think that if Obama gets in, it will be the biggest mistake the U.S. has made.

Do not get me wrong, I like Obama. He was on Oprah and he seemed like a really nice guy but being nice isn''t the only requirment to being president. He comes off as being VERY immature and says things that I really have to shake my head at.

Mark my words. If he gets in as president, you think you have problems now? just wait, you are going to have a whole new set of them on top of what you have now. This person isn''t capable of doing what needs to be done. He has no idea and by the time he can even remotely figure it out, it is going to be too late.

The U.S. needs someone in there that can hit the ground running.

Come on now. This is the oldest trick in the books, and besides, she''s had plenty of coaching, especially from the chief town crier, Bill Clinton.
I would venture a guess that Obama will be the Democratic choice come convention time...and I''ll be glad to cast my vote for the gentleman from Illinois.

Hillary Clinton made one thing very clear at Saturday night%u2019s Democratic debate: Her likability tour is definitely over.

Baring her claws at opponents Barack Obama and John Edwards, the real Hillary was finally in evidence. The mask was off and her rage, arrogance, and sense of entitlement were on full display.
