"I'm In" (Hillary announces for president)

[tlb]

I'm in. And I'm in to win.

Today I am announcing that I will form an exploratory committee to run for president.

And I want you to join me not just for the campaign but for a conversation about the future of our country -- about the bold but practical changes we need to overcome six years of Bush administration failures.

I'll be back later. Time to make dinner. :-)

Hillary won't win because Obama will take the nomination away from her.

She had to announce because he is gaining strength.

It's really poetic to see a Black man rise above her, when all her life she has used Black people to further her own political career. I love it.

Anyone really think she's going to answer a real question during her on-line chat?

I'm thinking she already has the answers to the questions that she's prepared to answer. I won't tune in, nothing to learn with this chat.

[Conservative4Ever]

I agree....all Hillary all the time is going to get old real quick, unless some brave reporter will have the nerve to report the real story. Filegate, travelgate, Fostergate, etc.

"And the only way they can look the Bushes' in the eye is because both Clintons are souless hypocrites."


Exactly.

I have spent a few hours on Lib Sites and Blogs trying to see the Lib reaction, and not all Political either, I must say this announcement has pissed people off to no end, I think the Obama Camp just got stronger. My take anyway.

[princess leah]

I think that republicans could do the most damage to her by changing their registration in /08 to democrat and voting in the primaries against her. They cannot poll for that kind of mass venture across the aisle for someone we absolutely cannot allow get the nomination to begin with. I'll go register and vote for another democrat and then in the national election hold my nose and vote for whoever makes the republican primary.

As much as I think Obama's a Marxist Empty Suit I hope, for the sake of his children, (can't stand that pro-abortion wife of his) that he's heavily insured! ;)

Guiliani

[T Lady]

'I don't think young, Mr. Osama knows what he is getting into. You don't want the Clintonistas going after you. If Vince Foster had not "committed suicide" in a D.C. park, he'd tell you the same thing.'

You nailed it. Mr. Obama's about to get thrown under the Hillary Express.

...All kidding aside however, I am afraid there are people in America that are actually stupid enough to cast a vote for this woman, especially in lieu of what she and husband put the nation through during the tumultuous 1990's.

[JCEccles]

Giuliani will not get the social conservative vote.

Between friends, Emanuel looking for neutral corner

WASHINGTON -- "Of all the positions he has assumed in political wars, one rarely associated with the combative Rahm Emanuel is this: fetal. Yet that is where he finds himself when it comes to his preferred candidate in the 2008 presidential race.

Last April, the former Clinton White House aide publicly committed to his political patron's wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), a view he also echoed privately and more than once. Now, with the ascendant candidacy of home-state political phenomenon Sen. Barack Obama, Emanuel has gone to a strange place for him, a neutral corner. "I'm hiding under the desk," said the Chicago Democratic congressman. "I'm very far under the desk, and I'm bringing my paper and my phone."

Emanuel's dilemma is but one example of how Obama's rapid rise is interfering with the former first lady's carefully laid political plans and of the conflicting emotions of many Democratic activists now torn between loyalty to the Clinton administration and excitement over the party's rising star". ....snip.

I have not looked in the DUmpster yet, however I have some far leftie neighbors who do NOT like Hillary. And it goes beyond "she voted for the war". According to them, they had been in Her Heinous' presence, and described it like an evil presence. Described her as cold, only interested in power, scary. And this is in the Minneapolis/St Paul area.

[seekthetruth]

I don't think she will answer any even "slightly" difficult questions on her supposed "live, on line chat". If anyone goes to her site to ask any I hope they post what happens.

[nopardons]

It's her MO ( sorry Mo...LOL ), nothing new.

[My2Cents]

Most independents are centrists. I agree with the other poster -- Giuliani would win the independent vote.

[My2Cents]

Giuliani will not get the social conservative vote.

And Hillary will? All Giuliani has to say is that he will appoint solid originalists to the federal courts, and he blunts whatever presumed opposition he might get from the social conservatives.

Are they gaga over Obama?
