    I would like to make a correction. The rude comment to which I was referring was not from "sunoverla."

    Actually, I DO want a "Clinton Dynasty". I'd LOVE to have the years of prosperity we had under Bill as opposed to the years of oppression we've had under dumbya. I would LOVE a "Clinton Dynasty" so much that I hope Chelsea runs after Hillary has her 8 years.
    You can think she's cold, calculated, manipulative, or whatever your jealosy wants to say, but if you look at the work she has done over the past 20 years, you'll see a record of constant change and IMPROVEMENT, not change and detriment. Obama is too young, to naive, to unknowing, too inexperienced to run a country. I don't want my president wearing diapers, I want my president to run the country in an intelligent, experienced way.
    I WANT Hillary Clinton in the Oval Office because I WANT America to continue it's 220+ years of being an ACTUAL country, let alone a successfull, GREAT country. Bush has mucked things up so badly that putting someone like Obama into the office, with little or no experience whatsoever will be the end of our country.
    This isn't an election for a beauty queen/king, this is an election for PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES. NOT a job to be taken lightly. The last one took it lightly and look where we are.
    For a little tongue-in-cheek irony, "Clinton Dynasty"? BRING IT ON!!!!

      Constant change and improvement? She was the presidents wife not the president. She had abysmal failure when she decided to overhaul healthcare. Bill defaced the office of President for all time with his antics. My 11 year old (at the time) could see that. Too many incidents with Bushes or Clintons for me to EVER trust any one of them.

      What experience? Should Favre's wife start as quarterback when he retires?

    Hillary will be the next president of the united states. i live in california and i have yet to vote!

    and btw, mr. obama as agent of change. did u know he voted "present" SEVEN times in re: to a woman's right to choose. You don't make change by voting present!

    HA! Hillary IS a uniter! She has united Democrats AND Republicans in their mutual dislike of her!

      HA! HA! HA! LOL Very funny. No substance

    Let's try to stay focused on what is truly important, who's platform represents how you would want this wonderful country to move forward. Who ever is finally elected is going to inherit a mess. An ugly war with no winners, no easy way out, a weak dollar, a massive national debt, a need for a reformed health care system, housing market that is hurting so many families and poor international image.

    Please think about when Slick Willie was prez...all the crap he pulled did you ever see her shed a tear? Oh hell no. I've read too much and seen too much to consider her a good person to run the country. She can't be trusted any more than Slick - two peas in a pod an all. I would be happy to vote for a woman if she was the right person for the job. This one ain't. Although someone ought to nominate her for an Oscar.

      You are exactly in the "loop" on this one...Oscar Academy Award because she is fake and phony. Not what this great country needs to take us through the next Term....She is a FAKE...

    The "cult following" mentality of some voters is very disturbing. These are the same people that voted for Bush and now think he is the worst president ever. So now they may vote for this guy who is not qualified, has no experience, and thinks he can save the world. God help us if he is elected and history is repeated. Why isn't he running as an Independent?? Hillary is the real deal and can get the job done, no question. Stick to the facts.

    EVERYTHING with Hilary is calculated. She lusts for power at our expense. What a message she sends to the world. If she can't handle the stresses of a campaign, what world she do with the weight of the world on her shoulders?

  • Posted By: kasprinkle @ 01/07/2008 7:34:26 PM

    I don't think it ever occurred to the Queen that she might not win this until this...
    I think she really is upset, but if you think that whole episode was not planned, talked though and done soley for effect, I've got some ocean front land in Arizona for ya'!

    Good try; sounds like a mainstream media publication trying to make up for earlier complacency by finding a way to pro-spin for Hillary who is now vulnerable. Most will believe that the whole Hillary show was a setup; that was not a situation that would cause her to be so sensitive for the first time.

    How long did this "pouting/tearing" take place? less then 60 seconds? less then 30 seconds?? I think that we all need to take a breather and realize we are being sucked into the media machine......This is a non-event. Hillary showed emotion, OMG alert the press!!!! Are we going to alerted if Obama starts dancing? Or making out with his wife?? Will it make him unfit to be president?? This is ridiculus!!!!

    Really? If a man "teared up" and said he didn't want this country to continue to go backwards, you would think he was a wimp?

    Again, I think it's gotta be about the message. Who cares if a tear is shed (although no tears actually fell)? I don't want to go backwards anymore, either!

    oh get out of the basement laundry room and design your own house. If you totally believe that this is show of compassion and human...go cry to yourself. She never does ANYTHING unless there is something in it for her!!! A bunch of WOMEN at her knee...do you think she would have cried if a man asked the question?? no she would have shown the "human" hillary and kneed in the balls. This DOES NOT show us anything of Hillary, only manipulation and a chance to gain votes by SUCKERS!!! if you get sucked into this ploy you deserve her!!!

    Tears based on REJECTION and LOSING are NOT a sign of character and strength! That is what children and immature adults do. The American people are wholeheartedly rejecting the Clintonistas and everyone who ever supported them. And that is why Hillary and her supporters are crying and having to go seek counseling etc just like when they lost the last two elections! And Hillary just can't take it. Much like the spoiled, self absorbed Liberal Democrat Baby Boomer that she and her ilk are! The Democrat party is filled with overly emotive, excessively wounded, weak people who champion emotions over substance ad naseum. A defeat of a Clinton or ANY Clintonista (GORE, EDWARDS, KERRY et al) is ALWAYS a victory for Republicans any way you shake it! HOO-RAH!

      Say it louder, sir. Perhaps you would be more convincing.

    I like Hilary but for some reason this "emotional Hilary" feels like a stunt to get more votes. However, it's a shame b/c women and men are not viewed in the same manne,r so I can understand Hilary not showing an emotional side at all. It'll be turned around to show that women are too emotional to run the country. It's a fine line. Unfortunately, it doesn't make her seem very personable. She could still get my vote though....

  • Posted By: cbernami @ 01/07/2008 7:25:27 PM

    I agree with townfan - both parties are weak right now. I do not want to see any more Bushes or Clintons in the White House. I've had my fill of both families. And BART1965 the only passion and committment you saw was Hillary's passion and committment to power. She will do whatever it takes to get elected. She has been in a position to do something for 2 years in the Senate and like all the others has done nada. In fact nada y nada.
