I don't see a thread for Hillarys speech just viewed on C-Span, so I'm starting one. I wasn't able to stomach more than five minutes at a time. It was the worst thing I have ever seen on television, and in this day and time, thats saying something.
Is there anybody who watched more than five minutes? Please report!
It was like a fingernail scratching a blackboard, two inches from my ear. Absolutely horrible. Applause was tepid, she had to bait them to applaud by pausing. If she were in a court, the opposition would object to leading the witness. Really, really, bad.
But this is what you get, when you run Senators for the Presidency. These people haven't led a scout troop, much less a state. At least a Governor knows how to govern and how to make a speech. Senators are dour, snooty, snobbish, know-it-alls, and boy does this 'listening tour' sound a lot like a 'talking at you tour.' Well, at least from the five minutes I could take. I felt like the martians in "Mars Attacks" when the cowboy starts yodleing. POW! all my neurons exploding!
But who will be the "Slim Whitman" to counter Hillary?
I was just looking at pictures on another thread. Not a smiling face to be found in the crowd.
Hillary loses big time. I thought she had some advisors.
I'll be shocked if Hillary gets the nomination.
I'm trying to think of one senator who later on became president without being a governor first. Can someone help me--I can't come up with one--at least not in modern times.
I'm surprised that she actually went to Iowa.
I would have been concerned that she might have been confused with the other swine and that she might have been trundled off to market.
JFK is the only one in recent history but his daddy bought it for him.
I am going to vote for HIllary in the primary. I know plenty of liberals who can't stand her, and conservatives will come out in droves to vote against her.
Thanks! I forgot ole JFK.
Maybe she was practicing for the hog-calling competition.
I don't think she could call very many hogs though.....they wouldn't believe her.
*Pigs aren't THAT dumb.
Year of the Pig
This may sound sexist, but I have a hard time seeing a woman as commander in chief in a time of war. And if we do have one, she needs to be way better than Hillary.
We've never had a serious female presidential candidate in our history. Has it occurred to anyone there might be a good reason for that?
I'm amazed at how no one talks about the woman issue. It's like we've had women presidents all the time. Go ahead- call me sexist but that's my honest feeling when I see her talk: "I don't want a woman ordering our armed forces."

She seems to have triangulated herself into a corner. The other dem candidates will be crippled before she gives up though.
Please don't help her get the nomination. She has as good a chance as any other Democrat to win, and 2008 will be another good year for them.
>>>Hillary In Iowa
That explains the cold, cold wind blowing outside right now. :)
Don't you mean against her?
JFK....and his daddy bought him the presidency.
We appreciate your sacrificing to make this report.
