A Lot Of Talk On By MSM Of Piling On Hillary By Obama and Edwards - But.....
to me the most important thing that came out of that last debate was Dodd talking about Hillary's electability. I keep going back to 4yr GHWB + 8yrs WJC + 8yrs GWB and now possibly 4 to 8 years of HRC = 24 to 28 years dominance by 2 families with all the same people being recycled into administration positions. The same people that hate each other and have caused gridlock in Wash D.C. We need new blood and new people running this government. I'm afraid that if HRC is the Dem nominee I'll have to either sit this one out or look for a 3rd party - because I can't justify voting for HRC and have more of the same.

I know if I'm feeling this there are many other Dems that either won't vote for a Clinton or won't vote for a woman. If that be the case - she really is unelectable. If we know this now we need to put up a candidate that won't have that baggage going into the general election.

1. Oh, golly. That tired old meme.
That's so cute of you to put numbers to it. So, a First Lady, a wife of a super achiever, must NEVER be ambitious...never attempt anything the equal of her husband...especially if her attempt at achievement follows a completely different family's completely different occupation of the White House or anything else? Kinda like really big drapes (adorably embroidered) to cover up your blatant sexism.

No, wait. This is more like Cheney and Bush linking Saddam and Al Qaeda. If you repeat the lie long enough and often enough, some idiots will think it's true.

And now you're going to tell me, YES! Hillary is just like Saddam. Or Al Qaeda.

Stuff it in an orifice.

2. What The Hell Are You Talking About?.......
I never said HRC shouldn't be ambitious or never attempt anything the equal of her husband. And what are you talking about Hillary is just like Saddam or Al Queda - I didn't say that either.

I just said that both the Bush's and the Clinton's have their enemies and friends. The friends are continually being recycled and the enemies are on them like flies. What we get is gridlock and more of the same. I don't want that anymore - we need a change in D.C. and HRC will not give us that. This is just one strike against her electabilitiy. Other strikes - are that some Dems won't vote for her because she is a woman and some Dems (male and female) won't vote for her because she is a Clinton and the baggage that goes with that territory. To me this sounds like a road to disaster for the '08 Dems. I'm beginning to think that Cheney might be right - the Repugs will win again in '08. I don't like it - but that is the path we are going down.

Now if you have a beef with that - say it and don't put words in my mouth.

3. HRC
got caught by an unexpected question and felt the pressure of being between a rock and a hard place. The question of illegal immigrants getting driver licenses in NY being supported by the Democratic Governor left her very little wiggle room. She attempted to muddy the water and got called on it. She attempted to duck and cover by claiming they're ganging up on her.

How will she react when world leaders gang up on her?
