Hillary's Hangover

First off, the debate was Tuesday; not Sunday. (Not to rile you, but you rarely have any inaccuracies in your columns.)

The Democrats did overdo it a little, but I have to admit there is one thing that is becoming clear to me and it leaves me wondering why she is doing it.

It appears she is saving all the specifics for her agenda for the General Election and is not about to tip her hand at the Primary level. Why is this? My best guess is to not hand her Democratic rivals any ammo or answers they can either use against her or refine and make their own. So, maybe she has gotten a little ahead of herself...possibly because she is clearly the frontrunner in all the polls. This isn't helping her.

On the other hand, Obama and Edwards aren't helping themselves either. I have said it before and it bears repeating: You cannot make your platform "I AM NOT HILLARY"...it just isn't going to work. So, now we don't just have Edwards running a completely negative campaign, but now we have Obama doing it as well. The media had said in advance of the debate it was their best bet with time running out, but they overdid it considerably. I don't think that is what the media meant...something a little more sparingly perhaps. But, desperate people do desperate things. The next polls will be interesting as to how much damage was really done.

A lot of the mainstream media has downplayed any damage because, I am convinced, they want Hillary Clinton versus Rudy Giuliani in the General Election. They have often alluded to Giuliani's past without bringing up anything specific because they are saving it for when they can have a field day with it. It is a compelling match up!

I sat through two hours of an incredibly ugly negative event and do not know John Edwards or Barack Obama any better at all. Maybe it is time for me to realize that without Hillary in the race there may be nothing to know about either man.

Sincerely and respectfully,

Mr. Clark

Mr. Clark,

Thanks for the correction and, as ever, interesting analysis.

Hillary's whole campaign has been "I am against all republicans" and "I am going to give money to children and the poor". She never explains where the money will come from though...

Mr. Clark, I was very impressed with your remarks concerning the desperated moments of Edwards and Obama. I didn't get to hear any topics or solutions. Only two men pounding on a woman who "the american" people have given her the lead, not her. If they want to pound on someone, let them speak about issues to the American people who decides not making "the american women" feel that they are bullies. I had respect for Edwards, until the debate. It was disgusting and uncall for. What I do want to note to the public is that Hillary did not once said anything "negative" to these men or about them. I am sure that when she got behind close doors, she took an automatic gun and started shooting Edwards and Obama's campaign pictures to pieces. Others said she didn't win, but I believe she show "class" in the hits.

HILLARY IS ONLY HUMAN. WITH ALL THE CHAVANIST PIGS JUMPING ON HER ,WHILE THEY GOT TO AVOID SAYING ANYTHING REAL IN THE DEBATE, SO SHE GOT SHOOK UP. OBAMAHUSEIN, HASN'T SAID ANYTHING OF SUBSTANCE SINCE HE GOT IN THE RACE, HE IS AN OVERBLOWN IDIOT. THEN THERE IS JOHN EDWARDS, THE NASAL VOICED GIRLY BOY, AND HIS BIG MOUTH WIFE FAILED IN THEIR BID FOR A PITY VOTE WITH THEIR BIG NEWS CONFERENCE THEYHAD ABOUT HER CANCER., SORRY, I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS THAT ARE CANCER SURVIORS, AND THEY HAVE NEVER LOOKED FOR SYMPANTHY FROM ANYONE. THEY ARE 2 BUSY HELPING OTHER SURVIORS. MRS, WEDWARDS ONLY GOES WHERE SHE IS SEEN ON T.V. I WOULD VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN BEFORE I WOULD VOTE FOR EITHER ONE OF THESE GUYS. THEY REMIND ME OF HIGH SCHOOL KIDS WHO CAN'T SAY ANYTHING NICE ABOUT ANY GIRLS. I HOPE SHE JUST IGNORES THESE OAFS. YOU WANT AS GIRLY MAN FOR PREZ AND A MUSLUM FOR PREZ, THAT IS YOU CHOICE. I LIKE JOE BIDEN, THE ONLY REAL GENTLEMAN BESIDE KUSNICH ON THE TICKET.

sorry i meant to type that i would never vote for the girly man edwards ot the muslum obamahusein.

OBAMA & HILLARY GIVE BLACK JOBS TO ILLEGALS.
* Obama and Hillary both have voted to give Mexican Flag Waving Illegas, the jobs of Black Americans. By providing them with drivers licenses, taking even more jobs away from a community fighting for jobs, as more and more companies cut workers, and jobs go overseas.
* Obama and Hillary want to give away Driving Jobs, Limo, Truck, Bus, Taxi, Private Driver to Stars, just for a few more votes.
* Bush and the (GOP) don't even talk to the Black Community, Hillary figures she has at least (50%) fifty percent of the Black Vote due to Bill the First Black President, and Obama has the other (50%)fifty percent. And, what do the Black Voter get in return, that's right taken to dance once again and never home. MORE MUCH NEED BLACK AMERICAN JOBS TO MEXICAN FLAG WAVING ILLEGALS.
* OBAMA ARE YOU BLACK OR MEXICAN? MAYBE THEY ARE RIGHT YOUR NOT BLACK ENOUGH!

I saw how strong of a woman hillary clinton is, she took all the atackts from Edward and Obama and stood firm, I didnt had my mind set up for who i was going to vote, but hillary got my vote, thats why they havent,got any closer in the polls

I love that picture. She does a great Ali impersonation.

Hillary has just returned to form after she almost got knocked out! When a fighter is dazed and woozy, they revert back to the form that gave them their limited success. What's was Hill's Left Hook? She's playing the Victim. Shame, shame, shame on Hillary. Is she abusing gender to make her way? Victim, victim, a victim forever? Bill is guilty, but she's to blame! In this politically incorrect world, is Hillary qualified if her only accomplishment is "First Victim?" Dog Chapman's constitutional right to privacy was violated. He's not the only racist in private in Hollywood. Hillary is abusing gender to steal the constitution. The media is helping one and destroying the other. Blacks must defend the right to privacy or we are all guilty. Who doesn't have a preference or has done something stupid?

I don't understand how anyone can take Hillary seriously. I watched the debate this week and thought Hillary did by far the worst. Yet, somehow 39% of those polls on AOL said she won the debate. I am a college educated, intelligent individual, am I missing something?

Hillary is incapable of taking a stand or of every offering any type of answer to any question. Over and over Hillary was asked direct questions. She would ramble on and talk about forming partisan comissions but never answered any questions. She sounds good while using well scripted buzz words and sound bites but she does not say anything. It's actually pretty amazing. Is this the type of committment we want to see in the White House?

The Democrats might just be stupid enough to fall for Hillary's crap but the general public won't. Poll after poll has shown the majority do not trust her or like her. Gee, I wonder why, lol.........

Like a boxer, Hillary reverted to her old form when she was about to be knocked out. What was Hillary's "Left Hook?" She reverted back to being a victim. Is "First Victim" the perfect qualifications as the First Woman President? It's a disgrace to all women if being a victim makes you the best. It may take a while for enough women to understand she's not qualified. If you can't defend yourself, can you defend us against Osama?

The real problem at hand is that the Clintons "Bill Specifically just a week or two ago" are trying to have the records sealed until 2012 covering their time in the white house? Funny that she touted her level of experience and all that she did as the first lady at last nights debut. TRAILER TRASH!!! The Clintons are in FACT Enemies of the Constitution and traitors! Bill Clinton is the ONLY sitting president to have been impeached! And now DUMB people are really considering putting them back in? not to mention Hillary VOLUNTEERED her legal expertise to help the BLACK PANTHERS and was a follower herself?

If you are really considering voting for Hillary, Do a little research on just how many GATES she has been involved in? BIG TIME DIRTY!!

Its amazing , Hillary says she is the most qualified and won't let us read the files on why she is qualifed. She has the filed tied up and won't open them to the public. It proves she has many things to hide. Hillary, throwing ashtrays at Bill does not give you military experience. Hillary we want a break down on your healthcare on what it pays and how much it costs us. That is a Federal law required of all insurance companys , showing full disclosure of how much it pays the hospital, doctor and for drugs and the part the patient has to pay. Where is your disclosure???

If people want to compare Giuliani to Hillary if yyou want plenty of gossep.
Dig people,Just because its a woman running do you really expect the oter canidants to yes mam no mam.She has put her feet in the shoes.She needs to fill them instead of her and her campain people looking for simpathy.Elect her ,then she can find a man to do the same for her a woman did for Bill
I know this sounds cruel but what did she expect.Like husban like wife.Please I'm a woman.I truly do not believe she is as strong as she wants people to believe. Of course like a few in the past if she wins I'm dead.You know how big government is, elimate your problems

Get off her case Barack. She was married to Bubba and deserves to be President now. That was their deal, who are you and Edwards to try and stand in her way. Just because she wears pants like you guys in EVERY single debate does not mean you get to treat her like a man. LEAVE HER BE. and let her win.......or else.

It is not right these men trying to stop her from what is rightfully hers. Bubba said she could be President next and they should let her. They should stop being mean to her, she is just a girl. She is nice. Stop it .

TO THOMAS LUNDBERG AND EDDIE HOFFMAN,
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU GUYS, THERE ARE A LOT OF IDIOTS OUT THERE AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE, AND I CAN PRETTY MUCH TELL WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE WOULD VOTE FOR HILLARY BY READING THEIR COMMENTS; UNEDUCATED, LAZZY AND DUMB PEOPLE AS SHE IS , AS THOMAS WROTE:TRAILER TRASH!!!THIS IDIOTS, OUR POLITICIANS ARE SO FULL OF THEMSELVES THAT THEY DO NOT REALIZE( OR THEY DON`T GIVE A RAT`S ASS) THAT THE WORKING MIDDLE CLASS IS PAYING THEY SALARIES, WE PAY THE WAR, THE UNEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS , THE WELLFARE PROGRAMS , WE ARE THE ONES WHO VOLUNTEER IN OUR COMMUNITY AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. IF I WOULD BE A POLITICIAN MY FIRST BILL TO PASS WOULD BE AS FOLLOWS: PEOPLE WHO DO NOT WORK FOR MORE THEN A YEAR BEFORE THE ELECTION , AND ARE ON PUBLIC ASSISSTANCE ( EXCEPT REAL MEDICAL REASONS OR LAID OF BECAUSE OF CLOSING THE WORK PLACE) SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT PAYING THE POLITICIANS SALARY, THEY ARE PAID BY ME AND THE OTHER HARD WORKING AMERICANS WHO PAY THE INCREASING TAXES! I BET WITH ANYONE THAT MORE THEN 50% OF THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD VOTE FOR HILLARY ARE ON WELLFARE PROGRAMS, UNABLE TO HOLD A JOB FOR DIFFERENT REASONS, CRIMINALS,CHILD MOLLESTERS, WOMEN WITH 3, 4, OR MORE KIDS ALL FROM DIFFERENT DADDYS( JERRY SPRINGER SHOW CANDIDATES).I DON`T LIKE TO GAMBLE , BUT I WOULD PUT MY BET ON THIS.AND WE THE SILENT MAJORITY, THE WORKING CHRISTIAN MIDDLE CLASS( BY THE WAY WE ARE ON THE VERGE TO BECOME EXTINCT, ESPECIALLY WITH HILARY AS PRESIDENT, SHE WILL ROBB AS BLIND, AS HER HUSBAND DID OR WORST)ANYWAY WE ARE THE ONES TO PAY THE PRICE BECAUSE WE HAVE MUCH TO LOSE, OUR VALUES AND MORALS, OUR HOMES AND LOVED ONES, OUR INTEGRITY AND HONOR.
UNFORTUNATELY I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT TODAY`S POLITICIANS( ESPECIALLY THE CLINTONS), NEVER HEARD ABOUT MORALS AND VALUES SO OF COURSE THEY WILL GET THIS LOSERS VOTES.BUT EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A STAR!!!

While the pundits a la Chris and Tim rarely conceal their disdain for Hillary these days, they are completely out of touch with America if they think this slight stumble by Hillary on a State issue will bring her down. Chris Matthews was to discover Hillary is not perfect, I thought he would pee himself.

Sane Americans are focused on leadership to "right the failed course" after the historical international disaster that is the Bush-Cheney-Rice Administration, which will reverberate for decades.

Menawhile, a whiny Barak and meek, wimpy Edwards big-boy wannabe are hard to take seriously. This morning on "Morning Joe," Barak was touting his "new" plan to engage Iran in diplomacy - and Joe Scarborough was slobbering all over it... problem is, Hillary has been touting diplomacy with Iran for months.

Apparently "Morning Joe" skipped his morning joe this morning.
