    Senator Obama does not lack experience. He has more legislative experience than Hillary. Her claims of "35 years of experience" just isn't true. She is compentent and smart, but also a liar and a person who is so polarizing that she will split the Democratic party in two. How many times do people have to reminded of all the scandals and coverups of her husband's administration? Travelgate, the health care debacle, the "vast right wing conspirarcy"? And if you don't think HIllary knew all about Monica, I have a bridge I'ld like to sell you. This women won't admit to anything she's done wrong. The attacks she and her husband orchastrated in South Carolina show just how they will do anything to get back into the White House. I guess it doesn't bother people that she used Bill to out and out lie about Obama's record. Obama brings a sense of hope and decency and REAL change to the country. I've voted Democrat all my life, if Hillary wins the nomination, I simply will not vote in the general election. It may not mean much, but at least in my own mind, I can rest easy knowing I did nothing to help Hillary get elected.

    I am a man in my mid-forties and I will vote for Hillary next week in our stat'es primary. I like Senator Obama but I truly believe he is lacking in experience. To compare Senator Obama to JFK is silly. JFK had 14 years of experience in Congress before he was elected. If Hillary were a man we would not be hearing some of the criticisms that have been levelled against her. She will make a strong President and my wife and I will both be voting for her next week.

    I am a 33 year old woman, a teacher, an immigrant, a single mom, and I really like Hillary. I don't have to be in love with her, I just have to vote in a competent, smart person to be in the White House. Why do you have to love or hate her? This is the first post or comment I have ever written in because I was touched by the idea that women just don't speak up. I am tired of turning on the news and seeing men talking, giving their opinions, with only few perspectives on the world. I, like many other women, am just too busy to speak up. I complain and rant to my friends and family, but I want to voice my opinion. One way I plan on doing that is by voting for Hillary.

    Hillary Clinton is a liar She is a phony. She is dishonest. That is what I think of Hillary Clinton. I am a woman. I am 52. I am more liberal than not, I am registered Independent. I do not trust Hillary Clinton because of her dishonesty and lies.

    I don't like Hillary because I don't believe one word she says. I simply find her unbelievable and dishonest. People talk about her passions for health care and women's and children's issues, but I don't by it. If she were so passionate about these things then why hasn't she become the mommy issues candidate after seven years in the senate and eight years as first lady? Hillary has spent the last seven years trying to prove to republican male colleagues that she is just as tough as they are on matters of war and military force. I find the only thing Hillary is passionate about is her own ambition. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a woman being ambitious but there is an unseemliness about Hillary's sense of entitlement and expectation that women should vote for her simply because they are women. For me her candidacy started off on the wrong foot. She should have reintroduced herself to America the way she did to New Yorkers. Instead of listening she told us what she was going to do and any woman who wasn't on her train hated the sisterhood. She reeked of entitlement. Whether it was threatening donors who wanted to make contributions to other candidates or her rivals who she never saw as candidates she had to engage with, but people who were wasting her time by having the nerve to run for president when she saw herself as the democratic standard bearer. Hillary is going to be a disaster as the nominee for the democrats. Obama will almost certainly lose, but I believe Hillary is going to be absolutely humiliated in the general election. Her strategy is appalling and it is only going to lose what soft support she has.

    bottom line is when bill was prez, she started screaming about how she was going to fix health care, eight years later, she did way more harm than good.
    the last 20 years the prez's name has been clinton or bush and why extend their mismanagement for at least 4 or possibly 8 more years

    The authors of this book, successful and ambitious women themselves, are jealous of another successful and ambitious woman who may trump them all. This jealousy bordering on irrational hatred is really nothing more than women's sexist prejudice against themselves, and is what held women back in the past. It is incredibly unfair to undermine her strength as a politician because she is a woman. All these women criticizing her should get together and exchange cherry pie recipes with their role model Laura Bush. They should walk obediently behind their husbands, smile politely as "proper" housefraus should, and keep their catty opinions to themselves.

      Your last two sentences were well said. Why can't all women think in this manner?

    Whether or not we have a female President isn't the driving force behind the hatred of Hillary. People, specifically women, hate Hillary because they can sense the pure evil in her. She is not a forthright person, to put it nicely. Every woman I've come across in Colorado is deathly afraid of Hillary and what she would do to destroy our nation if elected President. Hopefully she will never make it that far.

    We should all, however, write letters to Laura Bush and beg her to run for President. She would be perfect.

    Rush Limbaugh never said he thought Americans don't want to watch Hillary growing even older - he asked whether they would or not. It was a question. It's beyond debate that many more women than men vote for candidates based on appearance and other superficialities. That's OK - an intuitive approach. And that's the Hillary turn-off factor - maybe you can't put a finger on it, but it's like fingernails on a blackboard. Beside the fact that she's a radical marxist manhating feminazi liberal fascist, she's rather offputting, like a fart in a crowded elevator.

    Hillary stayed with Bill for her own power grabbing. She is NOT the *embodiment of feminist ideals* She is EXACTLY what we fought against all those years. She is also a lying, phony.

    • Posted By: Joanne in Indy @ 01/28/2008 11:18:20 AM

      I concur. I personally think that she had already decided to run for president when she "forgave" Bill his indiscretions with Monica. Both Bill and Hillary are the ultimate political couple. Beware.

    I support Hillary, she can do the job. Her clothes, the tone of her voice, her personal difficulties in her marriage do not affect her ability to get the job done. I take the Clinton campaign very personally. If she is not elected, this will be a hypocritical reflection that the Democratic party is the party of the glass ceiling.

  • Posted By: MG1220 @ 01/28/2008 10:12:48 AM

    "So not all women think the same way. It's just that some voices are a lot louder than others." This is very true. Even in the blogs I guess. Those who have a fiber of meanness and negativity in them usually have a "louder" voice -- they write long and they usually pile on. Beyond personalities - It would be more universally significant to elect the first woman president of the strongest nation in the world. Why? because gender transcends beyond race and culture. But there is much more that can be said about Hillary: ??? restoring her marriage that mirrors her capacity to heal a nation???s wounds; ??? raising a decent daughter that mirrors her capacity to restore respectability to America; ??? showing personal strength and discipline that mirrors her capacity to be commander-in-chief; ??? keeping generational bonds in the family that mirrors her capacity to inspire bipartisanship.

    I'll never understand you libs, Julia. You have eyes, yet you do not see. You have ears, but you refuse to listen. Maybe, just maybe, most women see this creature for what she is. A lying, theiving, manipulative psycopath, who would do and say ANYTHING to achieve her goal of ultimate power. SHE'S A B*TCH. She has NO FRIENDS. Haven't you wondered why so many of her "colleagues have come out for Obama? Why would they do this? How can this be? Do a little research, Julia. Not every woman is a cult following, card carrying, kool aid drinkig member of Sycophants For HillBilly. Just you.

    I am wondering what kind of women who write books, make money and normally think intelligently, can possibly find any reason to consider liking HRC, much less consider her for the job of the President of the United States. She is a sociopath. She is a crook. Remember, that wasn't just Bill doing ALL the crimes committed while he was in the White House. They are a TEAM. She is probably more evil than the average sociopath as she doesn't appear to have any feelings at all and the only reason she attempts to show feelings for herself or others is when it is politically advantageous. Women that look to Hilary and make remarks like "she wore blank earrings with blank pants", or she "stayed with Bill" or "she changed her maiden name" have their brains on hold. As a woman, I find your article insulting. I could care less about her wardrobe, her wrinkles or her "d---" husband. I could care less if she is a feminist or a lesbian, and I certainly don???t give a hoot if she is on a diet. What I care about is my country and I don't see any good for it with HRC at the helm.

    We are women, we are mothers, we are daughters, we are sisters, we are wives and we are girlfriends.

    Please read what Hillary Rodham Clinton said in the post below ( her speech 1998), then think about what you want for all the women in your life.

    • Posted By: bondud @ 01/28/2008 6:45:58 AM

      What she says and what she does are two different things. Her speech is beautifiul, she is NOT. Ugly at her core-a lying phony.

  • Posted By: knudt @ 01/28/2008 6:03:26 AM

    I think we don't like Hillary because we know that she is not really the embodiment of feminism. We know that she did NOT really get where she is on her own merits, but on on Bill's greasy coattails.

    I think if you could get these women to talk honestly over a drink for an hour or two (whether tea, wine, bourbon or scotch...doesn't matter) they would finally get around to the fact that they can't stand Hillary because she stayed with Bill after he was unfaithful or worse; time and again and again and again. When the affairs and the charge"s" of rape, or at least coerced sex came out over and over, they had to bite their tongue (talking about the NOW women) because "she" took his side. Now (no pun intended) that he's back because she's back, they can't openly say how much the two of them disgust the NOW ladies and why. So they come up with every reason but the real reason. She (Hillary) did the worst possible thing. She enabled someone they would have otherwise openly hated, and in this case rightfully so.
