When Hillary appeared before her one-time classmates from the old days in sheepskin jacket and bellbottom jeans at Yale last weekend, one elderly lady shouted: "You look so 1972, dear!" This was meant to be a compliment, but maybe it is true.
Fighting for her political life, she has found her voice. How the historic Clinton-Obama contest is raising questions of race, gender and power.

??? My website says I have a deep sense of Patriotism ??? I win both ways
Couple these easily discovered items that are public domain with the disgraceful opening to the Democrat Debate with Clinton and Obama acting like children, with the increase of negative campaigning by virtually every person ??? Democrat, Republican and Independent, and what could have been a Election for President in 2008 of potentially historic proportion is rapidly deteriorating into the usual mud-slinging. There are very real and very important differences among ALL of the candidates, and instead of the Democrats trying to destroy Democrats, and the Republicans trying to destroy Republicans, why can???t the candidates present their accomplishments in a manner that everyone can be proud of. It is the responsibility of the Democrat, Republican and Independent Parties to reign in their candidates and try to at least retain some level of decorum.

MaCain will be another Bush not Hillary. I cannot believe the Clinton bashing going on here. Did President Clinton make mistakes? Of course he did, and so did all Presidents before him. Perfection is not possible. Compare what shape this country and your wallet was in when Bill Clinton was President. Our deficet was out of sight under Reagan, Daddy Bush and now this Bush. We had a surplus with Bill Clinton--we had jobs--the environment was important to him. I liked the fact that Hillary wasn't the good little girl in the background and also contributed--especially regarding childrens' programs. Bill is doing what all the other spouses of these candidates are doing --he is supporting his wife. Whether he goes overboard is a matter of opinion---the media drives this also. I plan on making up my own mind without any other influences--just by listening and paying attention.
Hillary's Foreign Policy = Bush's Foreign Policy
CLINTON'S RACIAL CAMPAIGN
It looks like Clinton's race-based campaign will keep the GOP in Whitehouse for four more years.
Clinton's racially charged campaign is turning more white Democrats to vote for her; but this will likely lead to November defeat by the loser Democrats.
Hillary's messup this year will be the grand example for woman not to seek Presidency just because she was lucky enough to be the wife of a president (which propels her to the national scene.) I really do not like these Bush and Clinton political dynasties.
Hillary has led a campaign of lies. She has shown that she does not have the character we need in the next president of the united states. If you think Barack has no experience, you need to read time magazines article about that very subject. It will open your eyes very wide -- http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1704117,00.html
Would you please give some examples of the lies Senator Clinton is leading her campaign with?
The fact that she claims she has 35 years experience. Experience in what - being Bill's wife. Since when does being first lady give you experience. Since when can one take the experience of their husband and claim it as their own. When Bill was President she served on many boards but only lead one. And most of her accomplishments have been self serving - few to none have anything with serving the people. She was behind many important bills, but didn't have the personality or know with all to get individuals on team. She is status quo. A more liberal Bush. She's even using his fear tactics in her campaign. Don't get it confused. Hills is not Bill!!!!
I think you under estimate the responsibilities of the first lady. Having a good part of your life being a the wife of a governor and the wife of a president does give you a unique perspective on how to do things and EXPERIENCE. and to top if it she was working for and with people before bill was ever elected. Who cares if Hill is not Bill. I love Bill, but i think that Hill has better ideas and will make an even better president. Obama talks about change but has not done a whole lot to bring out about. he voted for funding for the war.. meaning he helped it keep going on... but hes SO against it.... Talk about a status quo.....
And why won't she release her White House records until After the election?
Hillary Clinton has all the qualifications to become a very good President. I feel that is very unfortunate that Clinton and Obama are running at the same time. If Hillary become the Democratic Presidential Candidate then I will be voting for her in November. If she does not, then I will be voting for the Republican candidate.
I have some serious doubts about Obama's ability to lead our nation successfully. He is full of happy talk but when you examine his voting record on key issues, he deided to not vote. I want to be able to look at a candidates voting record and that is something that I can do with all the candidates on both sides except Obama.
As an Independent I support Obama, the first truly great Democratic candidate in decades. Under no circumstances would I vote for the corrupt ,control obsessed Clinton.
I think a Hillary would spoil future chances for women in high office. She tops the 2007 Most Corrupt Politician list by "Judicial Watch" (Rudi also made the list), refuses to release her White House records, divides the Democratic party and voted with Bush on the war. The Bush/Clinton/Bush/Bush connection has been damaging to our country. We need to break out of the corrupt Washington establishment.
Surrounded by her husband's alpha glow, it's a real test of the X and Y factor in this 2008 election.
Where normally, the Y factor is inherent in the contest, Hillary's is outside, not inside.
Some could argue that the benefit of a spouse with a X factor is exactly equal to the Y factor Hillary brings into the campaign. But that Y factor has a history hard to ignore, which, apparently is still vital enough to be persuasive. A hard challenge for other candidates, but of equal significance as equal opportunity to be impressive to voters. How can one person be discounted without discounting all? It doesn't fit with free speech or the historic traditions of American democracy.
I think Hillary would make an outstanding President.
A lot better than Barrack Hussein Obama
It may be a long long time , before we have another woman at the front of US politics.
So let us not miss this golden opportunity , to have Hillary Clinton as the fist president of USA !!!
Hillary has the qualifications to become a great President. She has the passion, experience, intelligence and toughness. She does not just meet the minimum qualifications. Her record over the last 35 years of helping America become a better nation is second to none. Whether one is female, black or a white man is not relevant.. A look at their past actions in seeing real results is what the American people should base their vote on. Edwards has become somewhat of an angry man picking at Hillary with every chance, since his last try for the presidency, not what we need. Obama delivers a great script (like to know who his script writer is), but he is a poor debater when he has to depend on his own words and experience. Having well rounded knowledge to run the most powerful nation in the world should certainly be a qualification I believe. Hillary has this. Lack of experience in Obama and an angry man is not what we need to run this country. If Hillary becomes the Democratic Presidential Candidate then I will be voting for her in November. If she does not, then I will be voting for the Republican candidate that has experience. Probably why the Republicans want Obama to win, so they can beat him and gather support from the Democrats. Our country is in much need of experienced leadership, not an apprentice.
Obama keeps saying he would not have supported the Iraq war. The intelligence of the Bush administration implying that Saddam was acquiring nuclear weapons and just after what happened on 9-11, I would think everyone should have supported this war. Bush had intelligence that there was a threat of nuclear weapons, we thought Saddam was hiding them and they were a threat to our national security. Why would Obama vote against this war? What would he have done if the Bush information was correct, wait until they nuked us before we retaliated. Is this what we would face in the future with him as our president? If he was against the War as he states, then why has he consistently voted in favor of billions of dollars to go and support this war? Does Obama really know what he supports? His past voting record shows more PRESENT votes than anyone else in the senate instead of yea or nay for the issues. Does he feel if he just stays neutral of voting it won't hurt him politically? Just what does he stand for? Obama needs six more years of experience as a senator so he can just learn the job and the American people can figure out what he stands for, not just the ability to deliver a scripted speech. Hillary has the experience and has had to not only go through tough times being a woman, but she has had to deal with an unfaithful Husband. I am impressed that she stuck with Bill and they found their common ground. I respect her more for sticking with him. Working through the issues and keeping the family together.
Passion, experience, intelligence and toughness. Are you blind?
Passion for POWER. She has yet to show a passion for anything American.
Experience in being what? She has never had a job that her husband did not get for her. If 8 years inthe White House is experience, The Pastry Chef there is a better candidate.
Intelligence is relative. Maybe she seems intelligent to you, but I don't think so highly of her.
Toughness doesn't cry when she loses.
Just like so many others, you have been duped by the Clinton Machine. Just because she says she has these qualities, doesn't mean it's true. I'm glad that you don't hire for our Company. I'd be working with unqualified people
She's ok... her husband's a knucklehead though, which is why I won't vote for her.
Go Obama!!!
I think since the media is giving Blowhard Bill a stage on which to spew his venom that they should question him a little about his behavior while in the WH. Ask about Juanita, Paula, Kathleen, Gennifer, etc., etc., etc. Also, maybe they can ask him about his pardon of the federal criminal Marc Rich. Also, ask him how much money the Saudis have given him along with the Chinese. Ask him about Bin Laden and the Rose Law Firm records. I wish you Hillary backers would do some research. I don't like Bush either, but despise the Clintoons.; BTW--have they yet allowed Chelsea to talk?
All of this brohaha over Bill's temper reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt's comment to his complaining contemporaries about his daughter, Alice: "I can run the country or I can run Alice ... but I can't do both...." In this case, Hilary has shown without a doubt that she can handle Bill and keep her head up and her life on course. She can surely manage the White House with the same courage and strength ...and, let's not forget that the best person to run a House is a woman ... including the White House or the House of Congress.
I will remember your words when I cast my vote for Mr. Obama or the republican nominee.
