    I hope Hillary will use the phrase she used tonight in her closing ad to Iowa: "I'LL WORK MY HEART OUT FOR YOU" as her campaign slogan. It's a good one; very simple, very appealing and catchy.

    Come on Iowa! Come on America! Don't let the controlling powers in this country fool you! They take a weak personality, buff them and spritz them with something sweet-smelling to hide the rank odor of corruption, give them the best script that their millions can buy, serve them to us on a silver platter, and think that, as in the past, we'll be fool enough to lap them up! Then once they have their creation in office, they go on with business as usual. We struggle more and more to get by, and they lounge comfortably in the lap of luxury. AMERICAN PEOPLE: Don't let them spoon-feed you Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton! Realize this: the real power lies with you! And me! NOT WITH THE WEALTHY CONTROLLING ELITE. We have the power to elect somebody that will stand up for OUR interests, rather than the interests of the tiny minority at the top. We have the power to elect John Edwards! We have the power to make fundamental changes in this country TODAY that will benefit not only us but our children and grandchildren!

      John Edwards has more money than God. His house is larger than the average American High School!

    Clinton and Obama are brought to you by the same people who brought you Gore and Kerry. I guess the Democrats want a Republican as president in 2008. The talk about change... what about responsibility. Does any one care that the $285 BILLION surplus to Social Security INSURANCE in 2007 was used for Washington Senators pet projects? They steal our retirement func just like the union mob bosses of Chicago.
    MILTON for PRESIDENT -- write him in!!!

    Obama is the change candidate? What a farce. Without a willing congress the only thing he could change is his underwear.

      Viscous - it just seems that she is stating fact about a whimpy quy who is trying to con people into the change thing. What is the change thing he is talking about. He is a politcian. So where is the change. If you want change vote a Doctor, teacher, vet or office worker in. That will be change. I am from Iowa and believe me that Obama has not snowed me with his change campaign. Let's be a bit more informative here.

    Just exactly what is this exceptional ???experience??? that Hillary Clinton has? The only elective office that she has held is U.S senator. Both of her closest Democratic presidential rivals have held that same office. Perhaps Hillary is trying to claim that being first lady qualifies her to be president. But that is an honorary title and she did nothing to earn it. If being first lady is qualification for being president, then both Barbara Bush and Laura Bush are every bit as qualified as Hillary Clinton for the office. Some of the things that Hillary has actual experience in are: getting laundered political payoffs in the form of cattle futures trading profits and claiming she made the money by reading The Wall Street Journal; engineering the firing of White House Travel Office personnel by making false accusations of embezzlement so that Clinton cronies could take over the office; holding secret health-care reform meetings in violation of the law and generally presiding over a disastrous health-care plan that she couldn???t get passed despite having a Democratic majority in Congress. Don???t count on the ???news??? media to remind anyone of these and many other actual experiences of Hillary. They???ve been doing their best to help her keep it covered up and/or minimize the political damage of them for many years ??? and continue to do so.

    We need to look at Biden more closely. He is BY FAR the most experienced candidate. Clinton does not deserve the "expereinced" label. Or does being first lady count as a few more legitimate years of experience? It's not as if she made any decisions for which she would be held accountable. Plus, the recent slips by her campaign adviser and her supporter Senator Bob Kerrey about Obama's Muslim heritage, are downright despicable, and so obviously a calculated attempt to dissuade the unfortunately large bloc of uneducated paranoid voters.

    This biggest problem that i am facing during this campaign year isn't all of the television and internet endorsements, articles online or in the paper, it is simply the fact that i feel my eyes will bleed if i see another article on how clinton is great for america because her husband was president. I am personally fed up with the constant attention that she is getting it and feel that it is all becoming biased. Why don't we try focusing on other candidates for once?

    I am so tired of Hillary. She is constantly tyring to reinvent herself and her campaign is just derrivative of Obama's campaign. Sh even copies his slogans. Sorry Hillary you may think it is your turn but your time ahs passed.

    If Hillary does not win in Iowa, it may "hurt" some. That is, her her picture-perfect, commanding nationwide lead may suffer some (but not significant) damage. But a loss in Iowa will NOT doom (or anywhere near doom) her run for the democratic nomination. Moreover, even if Hillary pulls only third in Iowa, it will not be a poor showing because the Iowa race will be very close -- I predict.

  • Posted By: AlwaysforHillary @ 01/02/2008 9:01:33 PM

    I agree that Hillary can still go on to be the Democratic nominee even if she loses Iowa, but I am confident that she WILL WIN IOWA!!! Hopefully people will realize that she is the most qualified, experienced and intelligent candidate who has the wisdom and strength to lead this country on DAY 1!!!!

    PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON - 2008!!!
