Comment: marksgershenson,
Quit whining....you're probably a bush hater who has said worse thing about bush or other politicians...sounds like you can't stand the heat along with your gal Hillary....buck up and realize politics is a very rough business and it's not for the light of heart....if you want to get warm and fuzzy....join Hallmark or a convent My response to whomever you are is the problem is I am not whining, nor am I a Bush basher, nor am I a HRC fan. I probably know more about politics to sink your ignorant comments. I am not even going to go there. Bottom line, show your support for our great United States by voting. This upcoming election is probably the most important election that is taking place over the last 50 years. Our country has problems now that may take a generation to correct if we don't jump quickly. Wake up and vote period. May there be everlasting peace... God Bless America....

Comment: Part of the "Experience Factor" that is often used as HRC's buzzward comes down to whether or not Obama has skin strong enough to withstand the pressure he's going to face once he takes the seat in the White House. Clinton saw what the Crazy Right Wingers did to her husband and her as they attempted to smear them in every way possible, failing always until Bill unzipped his pants. They went thru hell and still managed to lead this country thru one of it's most successful eras, despite the sex scandals.

Can anyone seriously sit back and say Obama will be able to take that kind of heat in the kitchen??? He's absolutely wonderful as a speaker and he genuinely seems to have a family who cares deeply about him. He definitely has characteristics you want your president to have or any leader for that matter. But when America's love affair and honeymoon with him are over, and the country attempts to pull itself out of the economic mess it currently is in, what exactly is he going to CHANGE? And how will that offset the millions of disgruntled Americans who still remain out of work with no health insurance.

None of the candidates (including HRC) are going to turn this mess around in less than 4 years, so will he be able to withstand the pressures of the Oval Office in years 2 to 4 to remain effective, inspirational? I'm not convinced he can maintain his composure that long because when the road gets tough, every sidelined Republican is going to be screaming that the entire mess is due to his lack of experience. Do Americans want that kind of change??? One where the greed of many right-wingers once again resume power because our beloved Obama fails to deliver the goods fast enough?

Comment: Hillary has made change and will continue to make change. It saddens me that Hillary has been subject to all the negativity that surrounds the Bush Administration. She has pulled through despite the critics and Republicans for quite some time, yet she is still being considered as part of the status quo. What will Obama do besides talk about change?? What has he done as a senator to prove he can do the job. Yes he is likeable and yes he says the things in the right way, but generation X needs to look into the candidates work in order see who can lead this country. Talking about and being about are two different things. Certain republican networks are routing for Obama. Why is that? This should raise a red flag! This is a set up by the republicans to kick Hillary out of the race!!! Why? Because they know Obama will not be able to specifically say what he can do to "change" this country. Their is a serious mess that needs to be cleaned up and we need someone who knows how to get it done, not just wants to get it done. What are Obama's plan and exactly how will he implement them for "CHANGE"?? Thanks peers in Iowa and soon New Hampshire for voting based on likeability and rhetoric instead of facts and reality. I see Hillary giving up, but we need her to stay strong. GO HILLARY GO!!!

Bill's rant today, Hillary's tears yesterday....two more nails in the coffin of the Hillary for President thingy going on. GO BARRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary in tears one day, Bill fuming about the campaign bein a Mickey Mouse operation...these two dummies brought this on themselves. They are both so full of themselves they thought that the nomination was going to be a walk in the park and now that they've found out otherwise, they're sour grapes. They lied, cheated and connived for eight years. Do they really think that we want to see another Clinton in office? This country is fare more ready for a black president than a WOMAN LIKE HILLARY president. Ann Richards would have been a perfect first woman president, but alas she was taken from us early by the BIG C>

What Americans need to understand is that there are probably millions of people in this world and even in this country that care, and that want nothing but the best for the people, and who want to see some change for the better. There are many people who can talk about it, and make it seem so easy, but there are not many people who can actually get it done.

People want to vote for people because they like their name, or because of race, religion, sex, or what they did when they were younger. NONE OF THAT CRAP MATTERS. This election is more important than just your personal opinions. Nobody understands that anymore due to our poor educational system. We need to elect the person who is right for the job. We should hold elections based on audio speaches only with masked voices. That way people will not be overcome by their ignorance and inablity to make the right decision over one that may benefit themselves without consideration of what is right for everyone as a whole.

Hillary is human and all humans cry and feel emotion, but the fact that she is showing this emotion is a sign that she is buckling under pressure. Nobody (nobody intelligent anyways) is really saying that she is weak because she cries, they are saying that because she is showing signs of severe stress just over the campaigning, she is probably not a strong enough person to lead this country.

You ignorant man hating femenists need to back off with your "men are pigs, we need a woman president" bull crap, and men who actually are pigs need to back the hell off with your "women are weak" crap because that is not what it is all about. It is about finding the right PERSON for the job and in this case it is not Hillary. Take your emotions and personal agendas and stick them in your asses because we are in need of some serious help as a country and until we can all get it together, it is not going to matter who our president is.

The Clintons strength has always been their ability to "REINVENT" themselves. Most notably, after the ninety four congressional elections. They lost that election to a movement, led by Gingrich. What did they do to counter this movement, they made life better for the average American.

Hillary needs to reinvent herself as the candidate for the future. She needs to stop talking about the ninety's and start telling the people about her current proposals. Is Hillary's plan going to keep the American people safe. Is her "MIDDLE CLASS" tax cut going to be "BIGGER THAN OBAMA"S? , CAN HILLARY"S plan bring factions together for the common good more effectively than OBAMA's plan for the future.Somehow you have to convince voters, that your plan for a "prosperous and peaceful" future for AMerica is "STRONGER" than OBAMA"S. You have to stick to this message. What was once the Clinton's greatest strength, in now a big WEAKNESS. "REINVENTION". REINVENTION, is one of the principles that have been rejected by voters. They do not want you to keep changing yourself. They want someone who is genuine and who does not change every week. It makes people feel comfortable. In this case Hillary has no choice but to reinvent her message and plans for the future.
What HILLARY SHOULDN'T DO,
Hillary has to avoid going negative.She should attack her opponents with her plan and not with her ego. For example she laughed at Obama and dismissed his campaign as "JUST WORDS". What she failed to realize is that his words have inspired a nation. This made her look mean and arrogant. Hillary do not be afraid of rejection.
Emphasize that your plan for the future is stronger and how it is going to improve the live of miniorities. You need to launch your new plan like a "blitzkrieg". Keep your message positive expecially in California and NEW YORK, the two states you must win.

Do not play the race card= it is a lazy way out for a hard working individual. Be honest. If you use race you will be forced to lie. Remember that the masses can see through mirages. Do not use them anymore.

Extra Tips for the Hillary camp
Getting the young vote does not mean replacing Albright with young people at your campaign rallies. However it is a start. You need to inspire them not lecture them. You need to show them how your plan affect their lives. Your plan for the future is key to your comeback.

Bill you need to make sure your wife is stress free and that she is surrounded by positive ideas. Improve her mood. I recommend Hillary do Yoga to make sure her mind is clear and in good shape for her campaign. She should eat a lot of spinach,broccoli and other very healthy foods. I am not saying that she has to be "happy go lucky" I am saying that she has to put herself in a position to compete.
She should not be thinking of the consequences and destiny. She must concentrate on the moment. And every moment should be positive and productive. No matter how mad you get do not show it. You do not have to be tough you just need to be at peace with your actions.
Hillary you are a great person with many gifts. Even if you do not win, the democratic party needs you and a lot of them have voted for you. Do not pull a IOWA. Hopefully you will not be bitter and support OBAMA to the fullest win he wins. He will definetly need your advice, and I am sure he will give you a cabinet position if you wanted it. Good LUCK Your friend from the OBAMA MOVEMENT.
This movement is not a fairytale, it is real and hopefully Bill Clinton will help this movement take the presidency after FEB. Fifth.

I don't buy the "moment". Just the night before Clinton attacked when both Obama and Edwards said their candidacy run was personal. Yes she teared-up (according to the video) but that could have been exhaustion or acting. Acting because not 2-3 seconds later her face cleared and she was spouting how "personal" this was. I think her staff educated her on how she came across at that point in the debate and how defensively shrill she was at another point and how she played the "I'm hurt" card, even if she thought it was for laughes. Although I'd like to see a woman in the white house, Hillary would need to give me some definite plans for the issues to get past having Bill back in the Whitehouse. I was still on the fence about some of the candidates but I'm definitely leaning toward some more than others. I'd be interested in knowing how far apart Obama and Edwards are-that may be a ticket I'd like to see. Although Edwards lost my vote last time when he teamed with Kerry. I didn't like Kerry. Just to clarify, I think of myself as an independent Republican. I vote for the person/issues not the party.

I won't go as far as to say she was faking the tear but I do believe she allowed herself to get emotional, which in and of itself does not bother me. ALL politicians use there emotions to underscore the message they are trying to convey. How many times have we seen a candidate get 'angry' in a speech. Is it real angry, probably partially, but I believe acting is also involved as well.

My problem with Hilary getting 'teary' is that I don't believe it was her best move politically. I think that some men feel that the problem with a women president is that they'll be too emotional. When things get tough, they'll cry and not think clearly. This episode is only going to further that point of view. If Hilary can't handle the stress of campaigning how is she going to handle the rigors of president.

Comment: Hillary Clinton needs to get Albright out of sight. It looks silly to say you want change and then have Albright over your shoulder. Also, you have one week. YOu have no chance until FEBRuary FIFTH. SO start talking their talk from now.

You tried to hard in Iowa. You were reactionary. Forget want these nerds are telling you and just tell us what you can do. Those are your strengths Hillary you strong heart, determination. However, your ego has left you in an embarassing situation, again. THis is not good. Your advisor's will tell you to play the race card. Hey it got O.J. OFF.

However in this case you need courage, you need to show your courage. What are you going to do tomorrow. Talking about yesteryear will get you third place everytime. Talk about yourself and all the qualities you possess, forget about what you opponents are doing and concentrate on the people. As you can see the media will turn on you in a second. Good luck.Edwards just takes too many votes away from Hillary and vice versa. Obama won by one per cent in Iowa among democrats. This is a very significant statistic because OBAMA has tapped into a new base which Hillary and Edwards are strangers too. Their experience actually works against them, especially their voting record. New Hampshire is the land of independents and will go OBAMA's way. Hillary needs to start preparing for New York and California. If she loses either one she has no chance. Even the stars of today are with the OBAMA movement. She has lost the women vote, so she needs to focus on the minority vote ie. immigration and a plan for the poor. Everyone knows she is strong on Health Care, so she should emphasize other NEW ISSUES. AN issue that would inspire the middle class.. A middle class plan that spromises a bright future. No one wants to here what she has done they want to hear what she is going to do. Going negative has distracted her from her..

The war on Iraq really hurts Hillary. She needs to be specific on that issue. What will she do and why can she do it faster than any other candidate.These are the types of things OBAma has already been talking about but it is a broad range of topics. Hillary needs to look presedential. She needs to hold fewer events with larger crowds. Waves. A small wave can turn into a big wave in a hurry.

Comment: "There are hints that Obama in a general election campaign would be ill-equipped to withstand the inevitable GOP barrage of attacks on his admitted past drug use, his left-of-center record, and his exotic ethnic background." These are very, very weak arguments.

THESE ARGUMENTS WILL NOT BRING HILLARY VICTORY. OBAMA represents a movement that is positive. The Hillary camp needs to keep their gloves on and open their minds to reality. Americans do not like your style of politics. . If the American people do not like you, they will not vote for you. They just don't get it. These are the issues Hillary needs to address, security. foreign policy, and the middle class. Handling GOP attacks is nothing for OBAMA. If you CAN HANDLE HILLARY YOU CAN HANDLE ANYBODY.

THE HILLARY CAMP is in denial. They need to listen to the PeoPle. Look how the HILLARY CAMP Have already began talking negative about Iowans. THE HiLLARY CAMp TURNED ON IOWANS.Trying to insinuate that they rarely Pick a President. Iowans are smart and never trusted the Clinton CamP that is why she came in Third. After all the TIME AND MONEY they spent in Iowa, the Hillary camp is now denying the importance ot the IOWA. They should been more humble and thank IOWA for teaching them their first lesson in the new .politics of change. Although the MESSAGE was sent loud and clear, The Hillary Camp did not hear it. They have insulted every Iowan that voted for them with those comments. This is the divisivness that democrats are tired off. There is a lot of bitterness in the Hillary camP, they refuse to recognize the movement behind OBAMA. They should embrace it. If Hillary had a good relationship with Al GORE WHY has he not endorsed her. If your own former vice president does not endorse you, that means you have "relationship" issues. Obama has not flip flopped, he has run a focus and postive campaign. He does not keep flipping the script. His speech was from the HEART In Iowa and Americans believe him. Hillary's camp does not understand that people want a new kind of politics. Her tactics might have worked in the ninety's but it does not work now. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT OBAMA WILL BE THE NEXT president.

Actually, I found myself doubting the whole moment. Maybe it was exhaustion on Clinton's part for the emotion. Because only a few seconds later she was saying the same thing as Obama and Edwards did in the debate, "This is personal." A statement that she had decried the night before, saying it didn't matter if it was personal, etc. It was political. I'm not totally buying the moment-I think her staff made her realize how it came across when she attacked the "personal" statement the night before and the question gave her a good lead-in.
