Of all the provocative thoughts about a Barack Obama presidential candidacy, the one no one talks about is how Obama has exposed -- earlier and more vividly than anyone thought possible -- the weakness of Hillary Clinton as a candidate.
Obama has demonstrated in just a few weeks the desire of Democrats to find an alternative to Clinton....
...Here is the nickel tour of the problems for Hillary.
Everybody knows who she is and that her last name is Clinton. That's her strength.... (excerpted)
...Interestingly enough, a funny thing happens to Hillary with women -- particularly women who are educated, affluent and consider themselves strong role models. Many think this whole turn-the-other-cheek-and-be-humiliated-by-Bill in order to have the opportunity to run for the U.S. Senate was a sell-out...
...But what bites the most for Hillary is the war in Iraq. If Obama stays in the race, he has no previous vote for the war to explain or apologize for.
Then, too, the black community is Obama's to lose. Blacks will be inspired by and proud of an Obama candidacy....
...If Obama opts out of the presidential race, that opens up the anti-Hillary role and provides an opportunity for someone like John Edwards to fill the void....
...Right now, even Democrats who make the political trains run and who think Hillary is an incredibly smart, talented senator are afraid she cannot win. Many of these king-makers think the stakes are too high to take a chance on someone who cannot win, because it would be too polarizing too far into the future.
Make no mistake: A clear-cut anti-Hillary space unmistakably exists in the Democratic Party. And it is significant.
For now, the credit goes to Barack Obama for exposing that sizable political real estate.

From the title I figured she was taking contributions from the ChiComs.

Beat me to it.
God, that's scary.
lol!!!
If that's her strength, she's in even worse shape than I thought. I guess 8 years of looking the other way, minimizing, and making excuses for Hillary's non-stop shenanigans has a way of wearing on a loyal DemonRat. And her one official adventure in being a Whitehouse policymaker (healthcare) was a disaster of biblical proportions.
Tsk tsk.

How right you are!!
Pelosi is indeed one of Hillary's Chicks!
The thought of their not-so-secret
"Power Pack" (You..then Me!) is giving me CHILLS!
"I wish I knew how I could quit you."
Read "Hillary's Secret War" by Richard Poe.
Foreword by our own Mister Jim Robinson.
Which started WAY BEFORE they ever made it to DC!
LOL !!! Great one, take a bow!!!
LOLOLOL!
I thought maybe she had a Zoe Baird/Kimba Wood kind of problem...
