Hillary is a Classic BULLY!! Face her down and she collapses. Timmy asked her one little semi tough question and she COLLAPSED.

Doesn't matter. If Hillary! can put together the people who like her for her (unfathomable, I know, but there it is) and the people who will vote for her just to poke a stick in the eye of those meanie Republicans, she can win this thing.

In New Jersey, it is a real possibility that the people will vote next week to throw Billions of taxpayer dollars into a rat-hole and authorize a new statewide sales tax increase and a personal property tax just for the pleasure of spitting in President Bush's eye over embryonic stem cell research. A lot of people are not thinking rationally about these things.

just wait until she must debate a republican and cannot have all questions provided in advanced.....

talk about an empty pants suit!!!!

she will be more like a pant load!!!

[HighlyOpinionated]

I still contend that the grassroots Democrats who are collecting signatures to put AlGore on the ballot as their “fave” Candidate, will ultimately surge in popularity just as Hillary is fading.

Maybe a slow fade for Hillary, but I foresee a Gore-Obama ticket in the future.

If I’m wrong, when I drive up to watch the Republican President's inauguration parade, I'll buy one lucky Freeper a cup of coffee.

[Suzy Quzy]

Obama’s not going to be on ANYONE’s ticket!! Dems don’t NEED the BLACK OR the ARAB vote...that’s locked up for them. Many, Many people would love to see the first REALLY black person as President, if you get my drift.

[Suzy Quzy]

screw them....idiots.

[gridlock]

screw them....idiots.

The problem is, if you screw them, they'll screw you right back... And there are more of them...

[oldbill]

Careful Mikey.

Hillary may be an incompetent fool, but she will be running not against herself, but against a Republican, none of whom are exactly Reaganesque icons.

First yellow dog democrats and now blue dress democrats!

I can't tell you how many really conservative people who I've met in my life who were life long, dedicated, voting democrats. No matter what.

The reason we want Hillary to lose the primary is that if she wins, there WILL be a 3rd party candidate (I’m betting Ron Paul) to siphon votes from Republicans and give her the Ross Perot effect that she knows she can’t win without. She will make sure of it.

Most yeller dog blue dress idiots will ask “who are the white men voting for”? They will vote for the opposite candidate. Pure and simple answer.

[television is just wrong]

if she doesn’t like the question, she makes up her own question then answers what she wants to.

[jmaroneps37]

I know it is hard for hillaryphobics to conceive of her losing but the campaign has not started and she is in trouble already. Wait until the Paul vs Clinton stuff mixes with the already proved and accepted Chinese campaign finance criminality.

If Hillary! is the 'Rat nominee (which is likely) and the 'Pubs go after her, Hillary's popularity will soar. Remember the pollster guy on H&C who was doing the real-time polling during the last 'Rat debate? As soon as Obama or Edwards or Biden went after Hillary!, their numbers went down and Hillary's went up. It's totally perverse, but it shows how the electorate thinks: she's a "girl" and those mean "boys" are picking on her. Stupid and childish, I know, but that is where the electorate is at right now, and I think generally reflects the mood of the country.

So I say, be careful of what you wish for, you just might get it. Those relishing the thought of Hillary as the 'Rat nominee and going after her in the general campaign and tearing her to pieces might have an unpleasant surprise in store come January of 2009 when they are saying hello to Madame President. Senator Lazio can attest to that.

I agree with you 100 percent to be careful in wishing as you might get it

I agree with you 100 percent to be careful in wishing as you might get it.

Ditto that.

O/T, but I feel the same way about the dreaded return of the Fairness Doctrine. Briefly, IMO all it would mean is a boom for the satellite radio business, as Rush, Laura, et. al. move over to satellite. AM radio stations would initially suffer, as their top-tier talent moves on.

However, I think that would open up the airwaves to an entirely new generation of conservative talk show hosts, who would continue to beat the brains in of liberals.

Similarly, if radio is required to be "fair", why not TV? Russert/Steffie can only deal with conservatives when liberals outnumber them by two or three to one. Surely, they're intelligent enough to see the logical outcome.

LOL!! Leave Britney Hillary alone, she's a human being!

[chimera]

Hillary doesn’t need Obama. He doesn’t bring her anything she doesn’t already have locked up (the black vote, the IL electoral votes). The ‘Rats already have everything Obama could deliver. He needs to be the nominee, or he’s going back to the Senate. He knows it, and they know it.

"Just remember, were it not for the Clinton-Lewinsky sex scandal, Hillary Clinton would almost certainly not be sitting in the U.S. Senate today."

Please. Hillary won NY in spite of the Lewinsky scandal.
