Tonight, Hillary is talking "We" instead of me ...
Obviously she watched Hardball, where David Shuster did a piece showing the contrast between her and Obama.

1. Yes, that's right
in the middle of the last day of campaigning in NH, she sat down and turned on MSNBC and watched Tweety.

3. you're right, not her
but probably someone in her campaign. Changing one pronoun isn't that big a change to remember.

4. Nobody in her campaign watches the news channels
It's not like, their job or anything to gauge media reaction to their candidate. I can't even imagine such a thing.

12. Because adaptability is a BAD thing in a president.
Got it.

14. Well, when it's not working, it's a bad thing...
... but good point.

And it's not like Clinton can really be faulted for trying - and she does it much more expertly than the Republicans during the ABC/WNUR debate who were falling over each other yelling out "CHANGE!!!" Unfortunately, it still comes off as transparent and hollow.

13. Uh, thanks for the good luck
It's part of this odd disease some of you have that you imagine everyone is a Hillary supporter. I was just laughing at your inane OP.

6. It's stunning how bad her campaign has been run. These are Politics 101
type of things. You would think Bill would have coached her on all this if she doesn't do it naturally.

He's acting like he has no idea how to act in a campaign.

16. Well, Maybe he doesn't want her to win!
This is the same guy that subjected her to public embarrassment on several occasions. He was cheating on her way before he was in the white house, I personally can't stomach listening to the guy praise the same woman he has not deemed worthy of monogamy for the majority of their marriage!

One of her biggest mistakes, in my opinion, is using him. He talks more about himself and what He accomplished in the 90's, which actually erodes the claim she makes to 35 years worth of experience! It's ridiculous, the young voters especially don't want to hear about the 90's, they were in grade school!

8. good point
money can't buy the best advice after all I guess - or being married to a good speaker.

Her campaign disasters and her responses to them turned me off to her being a possibility for me - if she can't pick good campaign advisors and manage them, how the heck will she manage an administration?

10. She decided early on to run a campaign of destruction, and it backfired...
just look at who she picked .. Wolfson and Penn. Mark Penn runs one of the biggest Lobbying operations around.

11. I agree. It makes me nervous that she is making so many mistakes with her campaign too
Then again, Bush did all the right things with his campaign and look how bad he was? In the end I have to hand it to Obama for running a spotless nearly perfect campaign. Edwards has done well too.
