How about everyone wait until we get past real primary states that don’t have open primaries?
- and that have more than 2 or so electoral votes.
Hillary will stand over the bodies of these pretenders come February 6th.
I didn't listen to the debates. They are worthless. But I had them on in the background and at one point I think I heard the word "change" about 30 times in 3 minutes. All I could think of was a pile of nickles, dimes and quarters.

Great quote, pretty much sizes up the Clintons perfectly
Good job

this is funny!
Now that Chucklebee, that could be a different matter altogether. Glib tongued flimflam man from Arkansas. What is it about people from Arkansas anyway? A whopper a minute keeps them guessing.
that’s too much!
She’s selling, but nobody’s buying. Sounds like a marketing failure to me, but it could also have something to do with the product.
You’re right. I believe that these initial results mean little. The big states will bring forward a different type of political warfare; it should be interesting.

She's like Slick Willie, without all the slickness.
It pissed her off, I thought Edwards would turn to stone after that cold glaring brief stare down.
This could been her Howard Dean moment.

excellent observation....much truth.
The problem is the Clintons are reading the '92 Playbook as prophesy, instead of history. That is the problem with writing your own biography before you are done doing useful work. You tend to look at everything that happened as inevitable, and forget that 99% of it was random chance, and you benefited when you happened to be the right person, in the right place, looking in the right direction, at the right time. Other folks who were not so lucky are flipping burgers, and nobody reads their biographies.
The hazard is that if you convince yourself it was inevitable in 1992, you begin to think it will be inevitable in 2008, as well. There is no reason this should be so. Bill Clinton in 1992 was lightning in a bottle. Hillary! is trying to capture that same lightning, but she is not young and agile and fresh as Bill was in 1992. She is burdened by 20 years of history, much of it unpleasant. She cannot try to run the same kind of campaign and win.
Obama can promise change because he looks like an agent of change. When Hillary! tries to promise change, she just winds up looking foolish. If she were really going to change something, it would have been changed long ago. Her natural postition is to be the stable and experienced voice of the status quo. If voters want change, they will not want her. There a 300 Million Americans who will not be elected President in 2008, and it looks like Hillary Clinton will be one of them.
or the willie.
