Hillary Should Get Out Now

Hillary's health care plan is hardly socialistic. This is too bad; I wish it was. We pay anyway, on the other end, for people who don't have health care, so why not organize the system so it works effectively and doesn't provide inflated profit to insurance companies. Besides the transfer of payment, lack of health care for people (who are our neighbors) causes decreases in job productivity and thus affects our economy and our society. Besides that economic incentive, providing health care is simply the right thing to do. Why would you deny providing medical help to someone who needs it? Regardless if you may feel that a person hasn't worked his or her share to "earn" medical coverage, our morals tell us it is simply the right thing to do.

In November I will vote republican for the first time in my life. No one warned me that this election was for '"Pin Up" of the US. It is sad that many are so blinded by fairy dust that they are willing to risk their very lives on someone with a 3 word vocabulary: Hope, Change and uuuhhh............Hope. Hello republicans here come the democrats not drunk on Obama juice.

This is precisely what is wrong with the media's current role in politics; the fact that it was a title story on my homepage speaks wonders; I can only wonder how many people skimmed the headline and let the clandestine vitriole seep in. I am not, nor will I ever be, a supporter of Hillary Clinton. But the fact that bumbling pundits feel the need to decide for the people that a candidate is no longer in the running simply bacause he or she says so is utterly reprehensible. This is what keeps democracy from working -when big media turns politics into a petty spectator sport. Sadly enough, the hoi polloi trusts the media and sadly enough, they allow themselves to be spoonfed such tripe. When a big figure condemns a (potentially) good candidate as "having no chance," people believe that this candidate "does not have a chance" despite the fact that they are indeed a good candidate. Perhaps, media pundit, there are times to keep that gaping mouth closed.

It might be possible that Hillary will win the upcoming primaries without Obama having to "trip up"!

I more or less agree. If she wins Ohio, Texas, and RHode Island then fine, she should continue this campaign through until Pennsylvania atleast. But if she loses any of those (probably Texas) it would be best for her to concede the race to Obama that night in a very gracious speech. It would be a stunning and surprising move that would greatly soften her image among independents and create a lot of goodwill for her in the party. This sets her up very nicely for several post-2008 career moves, such as a) Picking up the pieces of the democratic party and running again in 2012 if Obama loses, b) Becoming Senate Majority Leader in the next few years (Harry Reid is old and useless), or even c) Running for president in 2016 after Obama (unlikely, but keep in mind she'd STILL be younger in 2016 than McCain is now. All of these are very positive and very possible outcomes for Hillary's career if she plays her cards right. The important thing is to fight as hard as she can (without going personally negative) until it becomes clear she's not winning this thing and then bow out quickly, gracefully, and with humility so that she can have a comeback in years to come (much like John McCain, actually...). Actually, I think the Clinton's are smart enough to know that this is the gameplan to choose and I'm willing to bet they're working on an incredible concession speech right now (the debate last week was a preview) should the time come.

uhh yeah hello. and uh did you just wake up or have you been listening to her thoriughly explain her experience in detail with countless thorough examples for months in her debates and article.

Maybe it's natural for some to point to the

Hillary = Rocky Balboa
Obama = Ivan Drago

Hillary if you are reading this you have to channel Rocky. You have to be Rocky. He went over 13 round getting his ass kicked, but we know that a fight is not lost until you are down and can't come back. Right now I am chanting for you Hillary. You can do this. Don't forget to play the Rocky team song on March 4.

"Rocky Balboa has done the impossible and these people love it." If Jonathan Alter had what it takes to be president he would be running.

you sir are absolutely correct on all counts.i suspect you are not the only one who has realized thisand i worry for that mans safety.

I like it when people bash Bush and put Hillary so high on a pedestal. Take a man and give him the most DEVASTATING attack on American soil in over 100 years, witness the worst hurricane-damaged, flood -ridden disaster, then drown the public in a wash of recession so dreadful that the Democrats have succeeded in actually creating one. And yet that man still stands and believes in what the American people can do. Take a Clinton and put him/her in office, and they turn it into their own personal bachelor-pad. I'm proud that the man in office has stood for integrity (for those of you who don't know what that is: the quality of possessing and steadfastly adhering to high moral principles or professional standards), and actually possess those values he stands for. None of this 'do as I say and not as I do' mess.
In a way I wish that Hillary would go ahead and win the election (assuming she makes it through the primaries), so we can get this over with once and for all, and let the American people really see what a mess of hot air that woman will prove to be. Has anybody informed her that her plans for heathcare ring of Socialism? Yeah, the wonderful political design that led to the downfall and total collapse of the largest, most powerful nation on earth?

The democrates voted for change and all we got was Nancy Pelosi telling us there would be no time spent on holding the administration accountable for the devastating act of war on Iraqi people. Hillary voted for it also. Obama is our only chance for change in this country. He will get us out of Iraq and turn efforts toward the truly needy, the American family and way of life. I see Mr. Smith goes to Washington in Obama, and hope is all we have left at this point.

Ohio and Texas please don't screw this up . I urge you not to jump on the sanjia- obama bandwagon. Not choosing Hillary now in times like these would be the biggest mistake of your life.
Hillary can multi-task and by far is the smartest strongest and toughest candidate alive!
