1 - Money talks
2 - Hillary is broke
3 - Obama rasies huge sums
4 - Politicians flock to money

With Hillary as the President, I''''m afraid that the 3am phone call may be, "Mrs. President.... do you know where your husband is?"

I support Obama butt I think Hillary shoud stay in and fight Obama with everything she has. This I feel actualy helps Obama to become tougher. She has helped him with tough love and has made him stronger than he was.

I know this sounds crazy, however it makes them both better to run against the GOP. I do not want her to quit, I want her to campaign until Obama steps on her throat. Kind of like we do in football when we are ahead and need to finish your opponent off!

My only beef with Obama right now is I need to know he will be able to answer that phone at 3:00 a.m. and be willing to bomb who ever. Even if it means killing women and children. Sometimes as president you have to do those things.


Mrs Clinton%u2019s political mettle had never been tested. Her opponent in her 2000 Senate race was a lightweight and she had token opposition in 2006. Her candidacy for president was based on the assumption that she would face a weak field and again coast to victory.

Just another example of the Clintons'' sense of entitlement to the White House.

"He sort of gets a little redder and redder and redder, but he wasn''t off the deep end as I had seen him in the past," said Inola Henry, an uncommitted superdelegate. "It was sort of like, ''Gee, I''m a martyr.'' He seemed more hurt than anything."

"It was sort of like, ''Gee, I''m a martyr.''"?

Yeah, that sounds like a real neutral assessment of the situation. How the hell did this "undecided" super-delegate come up with that?

How about this... and this would be just based on the language that you used, I wasn''t there... but I do have great license to assess the way people speak... "It''s like this super-delegate is an insolent god, whose superiority was challenged."

And you can quote me on that and still presume objectivity through biased self-determination CBSnews.

Doing it the ultra-hard way (I don''t know why you prefer this) it comes out to:

Obama -- 13,487,305
Clinton -- 13,432,077
Difference -- 55,228 in favor of Obama.



Real clear politics - Obama +717,086

ABC News:
Clinton 13,755,568
Obama 13,858,246

Hillary should be asked on camera, when she plans to pay all her campaigning bills--especially the one''s outstanding in Iowa. After that, she should be asked, if she cannot manage a 100 million dollars adequately how does she expect to be in charge of a Trillion dollar budget and should we expect the same level of mismanagement?

Finally, given the dissension and rancor among the people she hires, shall we expect the same amount of discord and nastiness and dubious competetiveness in her administration if she was elected President.

Her campaign is a microcosm of her management style or the lack thereof, so is the way she is super loyal and secretive--it''s like George Bush with a Blue dress on as for the economy, we should have had a clue when we noted Bush had run almost every business he ever CEO''d into the ground and had to be bailed out.

Now, we see Hillary, not paying her bills, arguing and threatening or denigrating people who do not go the way they want, infighting....if we don''t take the hint--more''s the pity.

I have listed Obama''''s lies, I have posted sites, I have posted articles. Lots of people have, and yet Obama supporters continue to rely on only what Obama himself tells them, and what the media allows to be revealed.

Posted by RowdyTexan2 at 11:07 AM : Apr 03, 2008





So Obama, the voters, the super delegates, and the media are all stupid, easily duped suckers, and only Hillary''s supporters have a clue.

Is that what you''re really saying?

Obama is a pollitician. He''''s a dirty one, and he lies. That is reality. That is not a pipedream.

Posted by RowdyTexan2 at 11:07 AM : Apr 03, 2008


And what is the reality of Hillary? What about all the info on her, not only what is already out but what is seeping out about the case in California with Paul and Lee, and the info about her being fired during Watergate due to her lies? What about her lying about her supporting NAFTA (whether she did it willingly or was forced into it by sniper fire) what about her embellishment of her credentials and the fact that other than working in the CDF and being married to a successful politician, she has few credentials merited by her own efforts? Whitewater? The hiding of her lawfirm files until 2 days after the statute of limititations was up? Her questionable voting record including the rationale for the Iraq war authorization, and her votes on torture, expansion of FISA and not voting at all on the telecom immunity bill? Hillary is not an optimal candidate. Not as a Dem, not as a woman, not as an American. All of them tell lies and embellish, but Hillary is the only one among the 3 who seems to outdo the others in lies, smearing and simply distasteful campaigning.

He lied about his association with Rezko.

***** He bought property from Rezko''''s wife - a small strip of land. He later called it a bone headed idea because of the perception of impropriety. What has Rezko been convicted for again?

He lied and said Mr. Rezko was an acquaintance he bought real estate from. Mr. Rezko had been his friend and supporter for YEARS! To the tune of $250,000, which Mr. Obama had to admit to after it was pointed out. He tried to shill you!

He lied about being above politics as usual...he''''s not!

Hungry, there are about 10 articles out there and was one here on CBS this week attesting to Obama''s using other people''s ideas for legislation.

Would you just rely on what somebody told you? Would not go out and look at something when it smells fishy?

Obviously there are many on this site who just don''t want to see it. They fell in love with this guy''s words and became hooked. And they want to believe in some kinda of dream, that''s just not there!

Obama is a pollitician. He''s a dirty one, and he lies. That is reality. That is not a pipedream.

CORRECTION:

But besides that, Independents presently for Obama and cross over Republicans for Obama will not vote for Hillary. They will either not vote, or vote for MCCAIN. Guess it won''''t get clearer than if she gets the nomination, then loses--you will finally get the point.

Your feelings and beliefs are laudable as they pertain to your choice--but they do not reflect how the rest of us feel or think about Hillary Clinton. She really is hated by a lot of people you know. Of all the candidates and polls, Hillary consistently finishes last for:

1. HOnesty
2. Likeability
3. Picked as choice by cross over Republicans
4.Picked as choice by Independents

About the only polls she comes out ahead in is who is perceived as the candidate considered the most divisive.
