Clinton Wasn't Ready

The Pundits called it a draw. They must have bought Hillary's claim that she is treated unfair. Of course she is not treated unfair. She has no more of a struggle being a woman candidate than Barack has being a Black candidate. He just seems to rise above the negativity better than she. He won the debate hands down. In spite of what the pundits say, the viewers (the opinion that truly matters) voted on there MSNBC poll and said 70% to 30% Obama indeed won the debate. In the close-up shots, you could see it all over her face. They Squabble over Health-care and NAFTA, but the simple fact is, the voting public find her divisive, and untrustworthy. Plain and simple. Now we can add "whiner" to the list of negatives. But she as of late is running the campaign of "Look America, he is a Slime Ball like me!" I have said time and time again. That kind of politics was good in 2000 and 2004, but not after 8 years of Bush Slime politics. 35 years of experience should have taught her that.

In this Post Carl Rove election, dirty tactics of attempting to seat unfair delegates, circulating photos to embarrass your opponent, mocking and diminishing your opponent's candidacy is not going to work. This moment, this election, the voting public are too engaged and can see right through it. That's why John McCain denounced the tactics of talk radio, because he is beginning to see what she hasn't. This is a different voting public than the last 4 elections.

Good comment and I agree. I did write an article about the media coverage and in particular MSNBC yesterday. I am not sure if it was censured but I intend to write Mr. Tang to find out. The media spin continues today on MSNBC that elevates Hillary while diminishing Obama. It seems the pundits they invited on have a problem with his denounciation of Farakhan and support Hillary's position.

They continue to dismiss his foreign policy experience and tout hers as First Lady. Now how that qualifies her to be more knowledgeable in those affairs puzzles me--as a matter of fact how she got "35 years of experience" is a mystery to me. At any rate Obama has taken the high road even when she was displaying multiple attitudes this past week.

She is still trying to figure out how this young, upstart African-American (in the true sense) has come from behind and given her an absolute run for her money. Now the other thing to figure into this is whether she can keep from releasing her tax returns and those White House records if she continues in the race. No more free rides on that issue.

Excellent comment there Independent Rob.

You are exactly right. The election has become far too important and more people than ever are committed to it. They see right through this stuff that would have and has worked in previous elections. I think that McCain has clearly caught on to that, Hillary however, has not.

Just what we need another Hillary plant--nothing like just jumping in. Everyone knows that Hillary and Obama's positions are almost the same with minor differences. So you need to check your facts. With 11 losses in a row and a campaign that counted on her "inevitability" and "her turn" Hillary should not even be in the race. Any other opponent would have been questioned as to why they were still running.

It is okay if you support Hillary but do not bash Obama because you do not like him. I think you also need to check Hillary's experience she talks so much about. I also think he does fine in the debates and will be a much better representative than Hillary who has multiple personalities.

Anything you people can find to pick at him about you have used but he has always remained steady. The media continues to pick at him because they are so afraid of the Clinton machine. There are plenty of women who are capable of being president it does not have to be Hillary. The Clintons are in it for the legacy, dynasty, power and money. Ask Bill how good the money is. It is amazing that they were millions in debt and now have a bank account with 50 million dollars in it.

Have your candidate release her tax returns and the paperwork she claims the White House is sitting on (WH denied it today) so we can see what all this "experience" is. My prediction is if Hillary does not do well on March 4, she will get out so she won't have to release her and Bill's tax returns--they don't want us to know about Bill's business dealings. We do not need another secret couple in the WH that is what we have now.

This is what I mean? Do these people think this kind of childish non-sense helps her? "Experience can only teach the teachable" Some people never learn. What good is experience if you cant learn from it? Maybe that's why she hasn't changed her style after 11 straight big losses. She absolutely brings out the worse in people, those for her and against her. She looked like a sore loser, whiner, you name it, when they displayed her antics on the big screen. Was that good judgment? It sure didn't look presidential.

Silly silly Ihusol. The reason he agrees with all her policy points is because they agree about practically everything. Take some time, go to her website, and go to his. You will see that they have the same stance on many many things, albeit his are better organized and easier to understand.
The difference in these candidates is not that her policies are better (I still don't think her mandated healthcare plan is going to get through the Repubs and voted into law), it's that his personality is better.
He appeals to more peopole. She should face the music.

Yeah, it is time to turn the page on the primaries. Lets get to the general. Take away McCain's war mongering, torture vote, disregard for Habeas Corpus, and his approval to spy on Americans, and I wouldn't care who won. But McCain is not the McCain of 2000. He has morphed into Bush Lite. :-D Wow.... Maybe I will send that to OBAMA McCain = Bush Lite. Bush brewery wouldn't like that much. But I will spread it around the vine :D
