Clinton reaches for the right argument

I do think that in the current climate, turning up with her husband by her side is unwise. It simply hammers home the fact that Hillary is the antithesis of change. Given the results from both last night's contests this really does seem to be deliberately flying in the face of the voters' stated aspirations

But then maybe more of the same is all Hillary has to give - in which case she can do it no other way.

It'll be interesting to see how it develops

Go on Hillary. Play the fear card. Keep taking your cues from the Republican election handbook. You feed into Obama's momentum and it will be your (crushing) defeat (again).

More and more Americans recognize that 9/11 was an inside job, a scam of horrific proportions to kick start the most corrupt war machine in history. The real threat of terroism eminates from the Whitehouse and fear mongering, even from a leading democrat won't bamboozle us anymore.

In the midst of a record democratic turnout last night in IA, a whopping 71% of those voting dem's voted AGAINST Clinton. Even the female vote went to Obama. Dem's are demanding CHANGE. Clinton does not carry change (only big bills). America is tired of the battered Clintons & their old ways.

Barack Obama: the audacity of inexperience. This is not a popularity contest, folks. Let's elect a President to do JOB, not a prom king to make us feel good.

Hillary has been tested. She is very strong and very smart. She has the best chance of making any "changes" in the White House.

Go Hillary! You're the best.

Her message is fear: the looming terrorists will get us if I'm not elected; the looming Republicans will get us Democrats if I'm not nominated; Barack doesn't have the floor plan of the White House memorized, so he'll get lost in there....

There is no positive message here. She is playing on our fears, our anxiety. She does not appeal to our better natures the way Obama does. She's a good person, as far as I can tell, but does not inspire us.

One the jobs of the President is to inspire us, to help us be the best Americans we can be. The President alone doesn't get change done; he or she has to lead us, to enliven us, to spur us on to greatness. Senator Clinton does none of those things. She's very ambitious and smart, but she's not the best leader for our times.

Obama is a remarkable candidate. I'm so proud of our country when I see him! And I want to follow his example. There are millions of us out here.

She's toast.

I am a Republican who will proudly be voting for Obama.

The coronation of HRC is finished. Let us again pass the torch to a new generation.

Another republican who will gladly vote for Barack Obama.

Finally a inspiring candidate in Obama. The clintons are washed up and will get torn apart by the republicans in the general . .whitewater, impeachements, taking everything that was not nailed down on theiw way out, etc etc etc.

You go Hiliary, I think that you are the smartest and the wisest of the whole Democratic party, lets see ou work and then we will be glad to call ourselves Americans

I'm horrified. Clinton was never my first choice but I felt I could vote for her if she was the candidate. Her defeat in Iowa has turned her into George Bush, as she speaks verbatim his words of terrorists plotting against us, identical to his message of how we got into the Iraq war and how he justifies keeping us there.

So as a Democrat I cannot vote for Clinton because she's now officially a Republican.

You know who has class by how they handle defeat. She felt invincible, was humbled, and has chosen to join the enemy camp.

I am elated Mrs Clinton got her comeuppance by limping into 3rd place after the Iowa voters spoke so clearly for Obama and Edwards....she is full of...it...and her phony promises are a smoke screen from ou of the past...she just doesn't get it 2007.....I look for the enlightened New Hampshire Democrats to give her a second slap in the face...it's been along time coming but I'm so happy she is losing!!

She is unelectable. I hold no grudges against her and in fact thought Bill was an excellent president but with negatives of 50% there is no way she can win. Democrats want a winner and it looks like Obama is the ticket. However, just about any of the Dems could beat Huckabee. Nice, decent guy but some of his views are out of the stone age,

She is unelectable. WIth negatives of 50% she can not win unless pitted against Huckabee who's a nice and decent guy but some of his views are from the stone age.

Obama has it right. There is one America. If I am a Republican I am not your enemy. I am your adversary. The enemy is alquedda & the taliban.

Suggesting that you will be the Clinton who will clean up the Bush mess just as Bill was the Clinton who cleaned up the first Bush's mess is politics at its worst. None of the candidates in either party are all good or all bad so stop all the negative retoric and start talking about the improvements you see for the country and how you are going to tap into our great talent pool to acomplish these improvements. Do you remember "Ask not what your country can do for you..."
It's difficult to think we might have ten more months of this garbage.

Glad to see we are finally able to unite around a candidate who cares about the American people...all the American people..Go Obama...and Hillary and Bill why not join us and together we can make this country great again ...Thanks Barack for coming along to inspire the young and disenchanted with the way things have been going the past few decades....

Hmmm... Who cleaned up Clinton's recession in 2000?

A liar like her could never be elected.

So she's exploiting 9/11 now? She's such a Bush. Hillary Clinton saying she's innocent demonstrates how stupid she believes voters to be.

Hillary's sole qualification is her marriage to a serial adulterer whom she publicly defended on national TV.

The Clintons caused 9/11 in the first place. How many countries did they bomb when they were in office? 5? 6? At one point during the Clinton administration we actually ran out of cruise missiles, remember that? Osama was keeping score, that's for sure.

Obama's not the answer though. A lawyer repeating the word hope and change 1000 times while promising AIPAC he'll run a more competent occupation. Please. It's time for the rLOVEution. Ron Paul: cuz all the other politicians made the wrong call.. What up yo! Keep it realz for the Doctor.

I believe it was Samuel Goldwyn who famously said, "If they make a bad movie, nobody can stop the public from not coming."

Iowa was Hillary's screen test.

The "most innocent" candidate??? Ha! That's a laugh...

Interesting very much a hate attack going on. I have read many comments after many articles and I am surprised that Obama is attracting this element of negativity whose sole purpose is to degrade a women. She after all has the audacity to run for president when some believe she should stay home and feel depressed because lfie is not always happily ever after. No she choose to run for senate in New York and win. She knows how to get up and win after a blow and that is the kind of fighter I want as president.

Hillary is the one who can make change! And as far as the same old Clintons? A man is still a man, and change means a Woman! I really hope the democrats aren't a bunch of sheep like they were in 2004 in voting for Kerry because of Iowa. What a mistake! What has Obama done in the Senate to unite the Senate or change anything? What is he going to do, how is he going to do it. His past record doesn't reflect anything any of you have said, he is all talk. He has used his 2004 convention speech well, but what and how is he going to do it, he hasn't yet? The war is still going, bushy is still getting his financing, the partisanship in the Senate is still the same at least Hillary has republicans that say "they wouldn't mind if she were president." She knows how to work with others. What about healthcare, Obamas leaves millions out.

Don't act like sheep know what the hec your voting on and for. I am voting for Hillary on Feb. 5 I want my country back and I want change and I want the best for the job and it isn't Obama.

Folks, please use your head here. If McCain is the Repub nominee, Obama will be toast. We need to nominate someone who can go head to head with McCain. That person is Hillary Rodham Clinton. Think. We don't want to repeat the Kerry loss of 2004. Vote Hillary.

Yes everybody please please use your head! Obama cannot win the presidency - he will be toast - the repubs will eat him up and spit him out ! Hillary is the only one that can beat the republicans. MY GOD! OBama is a fine man, but his empty rhetoric is all that - there is no substance! Do you want someone with good "feel good" rhetoric or someone that has the skills to get the job done! OBama has no foreign policy experience - no experience period!!! Will his charm help him on that front???

Well, I see some people have not done their homework. During Obama's first two years in the Senate, he got four important bipartisan bills passed (ethics reform, funding transparency, veteran health care, immigration controls). During six years, Edwards worked on one successful major bill: the proposal for war with Iraq, with Lieberman. Clinton's record in eight years is even less impressive (one major bill regarding the content of video games). If you want to divide her record by 35 years, her lack of achievement looks even worse. Obama is praised by his teachers, faculty peers, and students as a Constitutional law expert at the world's top institutions. Edwards profited monstrously from four liability cases. Hillary was an unexceptional intellectual property lawyer at a firm that specialized in political influence in a small state. I was happy Bill Clinton was elected, but as history now unfolds, I believe he will be remembered as an unimportant president. Bill Clinton looks frail compared to Obama, who is a real leader with tremendous credentials, grass roots support, ethics, vision, pragmatism, and importantly, a group of advisors that will half-empty Harvard's government and social science faculties when he starts composing his administration. Bill was the best politician of his generation, and Hillary the most capable first lady in history. But Obama is the best presidential candidate in my lifetime -- maybe in the top three of the past century.

Edwards talks of change. Obama talks of change. Clinton talks of change. What are the changes we desire? We can all agree we want to live better, have more money, etc. What are our priorities? What does it mean to live better? It is true that the middle class is being marginalized but should we not look for the causes and address them in a rational manner? The affordability of advanced education along with retraining programs open to all should be one of our top priorities. Why?... because the lack thereof increases poverty and shrinks the middle class.
Venture capital needs to be focused not on just $30 Million deals and up, but on financing small businesses with seed capital all across the country. This can only happen if you have the right incentives for investors to take the risk. Hillary Rodham Clinton is the candidate that has addressed these issues and has worked on them for years. She established a tangible plan and has executed such in the private sector. Personally, I vote for freedom first, and then my pocketbook. Why?...because without freedom what do you have that is worth having? Without financial security you have no freedom. If you are voting on foreign policy then vote for Dodd as he is the most knowledgeable and capable in that arena. If you are concerned with the financial future of the country and your family, you owe it to dig into Clinton’s policy papers and into her personal history of accomplishment. In this day of 30 second sound bites it’s all about projecting an image. Packaging is nice but did you marry for beauty or did you marry for love?

We can see from the fast facts listed below, that she has practical experience in education, in healthcare, and business. She has not promised hope but delivered hope to many. This has been her life’s work. No other candidate is as credible as she is, on these issues nor have they done it.
Clinton was a Wal-Mart's Board member.
She was also on the Board of TCBY.
She has also served on the boards of the Children’s Defense fund which she also chaired. Additionally she was on the Arkansas Children’s hospital board.
She co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and families.
She chaired the Arkansas Educational Standards Committee.
She also served as congressional legal counsel.

It‘s amazing to me that with little real evidence a crowd is willing to rip a person apart. The people that instigate, agitate, and accuse, say look out for that person over there, when we should be looking at the accuser. How many innocents suffered at the hands of the inquisitors? Nothing has changed from then until now. People can throw mud, and even if false some of it will stick. People shout out lies and point their crooked fingers at Hillary and care little about truth. They get a perverse sense of joy bringing someone down. They feel inspired. I guess it’s true, if the same lie is repeated often enough, it becomes truth. Hillary is a good person and if she has a fault it is in trying too hard. As a woman if she shows an emotional side, she is weak. She is smart and in this day of misleading by making emotional appeals she insists on making a rational argument. I think the biggest problem in U.S. politics today, is that we do not demand more from candidates. When is the last time a noted scientist was elected to public office? Where are our modern day Madison’s or Franklin’s? We rarely elect a person of ideas, who will implement real change into public office. I myself am having a hard time separating emotion from rational choice. As a woman who is in her 40’s, I do think it’s time for a woman to be President. I’m sure Obama supporters feel that it’s time to have a non-white man in the Oval Office to represent the diversity of modern America. What does it say about America when we will vote for any man as long as it’s not a woman? Obama talks about unity and it’s a wonderful idea. The problem is that ideologically I am passionate about Personal Liberty, and Free Trade. What does free trade and economics have to do with freedom? Everything! Without financial strength we do not have freedom and are but indentured servants. Money does not buy happiness but it’s hard to be happy destitute and starving. A President can call for a bridge to be built. That bridge can be education, and investment. We are never going to compete with Chinese labor on a manual basis. We want a better standard of living. We can automate and use technology as leverage but that means that industry changes and jobs will be re-allocated. We need a bridge from here to there. We need to understand that most people are uncomfortable doing something new. It is why training and the support structure need to be built in. I do believe that anything is possible if we set a goal and work together. A pre-requisite of this is that people really understand the issues and act in best interest of the group instead of selfishly. This is amazingly difficult to do on a large scale. The media is part of the problem with the sound bites but its being mediated by the internet media. The problem is that American’s in general don’t read, don’t ask questions, and do not discuss ideas. Every American should have a basic understanding of economics? Why because it’s vital to our liberty? Why have the media not made teaching economics to all of an America a priority? It does not need to be dry and impersonal. The media can take the issues of the day and demonstrate why this economic data matters to them. If you were pitching a start-up company you would lay out your vision and also show a timeline with milestones. You would demonstrate your knowledge of the competition and where the industry is today. You would also submit a budget showing how you would allocate funds to achieve your objective. Why do we ask less from the President of our Country? No investor would let you get away with selling blue sky without providing the rational bridge between now and there. We should demand no less than those in charge of managing our public affairs.

Poster #4 says "More and more Americans recognize that 9/11 was an inside job"" and probably thinks the moon walk was on a sound stage... That is the truly frightening thing in this country - that people like him get to vote!

Hillary Clinton is running as Nixon against Barrack Obama's Jack Kennedy.
While Nixon droned on about experience, JFK spoke of change-a new frontier.
Guess who won?
Wake up Hillary. You can do better!

This should be on every newscast across the country.

Obama Church
http://www.tucc.org/about.htm

This should be a topic of investigative journalism. It should be asked about at the debates. The views of his church and his friends do not match his rhetoric.

Every American should know about this.

Huckabee if Clinton fails to win the nomination I am seriously considering crossing party lines for Huckabee. While we do not agree on social issues his economic policy makes sense. He is also a nice guy.

I was just eating lunch today in Bedford NH when who walks in? Bill Clinton. He spent a good 10 minutes at our table with me and my family. I asked him how he's going to stop the Obama freight train and here's what he said:

In the press's eyes, Barack can do no wrong. As soon as Hillary says something controversial, she's dragged over the coals even if Barack said the same thing.

Barack only has 1 year experience. If this election is all about change for change's sake, then he'll get the nomination.

If Barack wins NH, he'll get the nomination and it's over for Hillary.

He said the reason Barack won Iowa was due to the Illinois college students that helped him win. (since Barack is from Illinois and a lot of students go to school in Iowa and you can register that day....)

Eric, it's amazing you kept some neutrality having just met a celebrity! But I suppose Bill Clinton has not been watching the NY Times print beautiful photographs of Hillary, even if they are four years out of date, while running several positive puff pieces by starry-eyed staffers on her campaign every day. If you look at the polling trends, e.g. pollster.com, the big bad day for Hillary was when she choked on the driver's license for illegal immigrants question during a well-watched debate. It was the first of two poor debates for her. It is true that Barack Obama later gave a very similar answer to the question, but he did so with his typical thoughtful candor. He did not try to spin three different positions in the same event. People understand when issues are hard, questions unfair, when opinions differ, and when answers require nuance. What they really disliked was prevarication (in the sense of deliberate equivocation intended to disguise true sentiment). Too much lying in the executive office, from WMD's to not-quite-sexual encounters. That's the reason we want change we can believe in. Bush and Clinton have forgotten what truth is, so both are incapable of diagnosing why things have not been going their way.
