Delayed PTSD from running over Buddy - she rumpled a perfectly good bumper.

They have all the money they will ever need. If she has plummeted, the numbers still have her in the lead. I think Bill did not win something like the first 5 races in 1992. Get the popcorn for Super Tuesday!

That's because back in '92, much of the country didn't know about the Clintons...he was the "new kid on the block". But now that they've been around for 15 years, most, if not all, the country knows exactly who she is and maybe just doesn't like what they see. (Let's hope anyway.)

Really? How is Ed Muskey remembered?

HOWEVER, I’ve got to say that I AM TRULY IN SHOCK about her total collapse. It’s almost too good to be true. A belated Christmas present to us all!

I agree with you about the Christmas present but I saw this coming. I live in Massachusetts which is probably about as ground zero as you get with Shrillary's base. If she can't win this state, she can't win virtually anywhere else.

But a few months ago, a sea change started happening. You started seeing Obama bumper stickers everywhere. It was like The Beatles all over again. If Obama was to land at Logan for a campaign stop and it was pre-announced, mark my words, there would be 10,000 screaming women there to greet him, all of them holding Starbucks cups and camera phones. Don't get me wrong, this hero-worship makes me sick to my stomach. But the fact is that Shrillary's base among young voters has absolutely melted away around here and for better or worse, Obama's popularity has reached rock-star proportions among the 18-30 crowd. Even some of the older Oprah-watchers are now in Obama's camp.

Granted it is more of a risk running against Obama in November than Shrillary. Obama may or may not be tough to beat. But in the worse case scenario, the country will survive an Obama presidency. On the other hand, I do not believe we can survive another Clinton presidency - and trust me, it will be for eight years if it happens. I'm willing to take my chances with Obama in return for the Wicked Witch of the Ozarks being finished for good.

Two weeks ago, would anyone on Free Republic have dared to post that Hillary would loose Iowa and would be facing a double digit defeat in NH? I wouldn’t have.

The story that is almost as big as Hillary’s implosion is that the Drive-Bys don’t pick our Presidents any more.

Thanks

There is truth behind all of my parody graphics -

Otherwise they would not hit harder and be so effective

The Internet trumps the MSM in getting the truth out and in an entertaining and informative way

O'Bomber's image will evolve and crystallize as the primaries and campaigns develop but it is premature to play those cards now and Hillary will be digging into his history and real background as she panics

“What worries me is that the Clinton crowd may NOT be above doing something totally insane to stop Senator Obama’s campaign. Given the extremely sordid history of the Clintons, just about ANYTHING to stop Senator Obama is no longer far-fetched.”

What interests me is that Hillary has NEVER had a full frontal attack on her about her past and her skeletons, by the media, votes, and opponents. She’s been able to pull off the “listening tour” nonsense up until now, and now that she HAS to speak, and be held accountable for what she says, it’s falling apart fast - the casual lib voters are realizing how BAD she is, and the stink off her is a noticable fog. If the buzz around my office is any indication, she’s lost the casual vote, and the hardcore party voters are in a quandry.

My hope is she goes even more negative on Obama, and Obama and Edwards do some behind the scenes info sharing and attack her on her past. She’ll implode FAST under attack, she’s not used to it, and she can’t control it like she has in the past. I don’t think even Carville can help her, because she’s not a willing puppet like Bill was, and will question anything Carville tells her to do, because her ego will get in the way.

I have a feeling her “fbi files” are worthless now, and there’s no fear of her, and that there are certain stories waiting to be leaked to certain media outlets by unnamed Oboma and Edwards staffers that will be the knock out punches to Ol’ Hillary.

And the GOP did’nt have to get their hands dirty one bit. Gotta love it!

"She would never bow out, no way."

Not on her own, or this soon. Since Hillary has never taken the word "no" for an answer, this might be fun to witness..

She'll gear up the old slime machine against Obama soon.

The fact is that Hillary has run a terrible campaign and is simply the wrong person for the times...she has offered no overriding message or reason people should vote FOR her...in retrospect, she should have played the gender card a little more, but it's too late to do that now. Her whole campaign was based on a premise that nobody else with any stature would dare run against her for fear of incurring the wrath of the Clinton machine. Obama came out of Chicago and didn't need the Clintonians to get elected to the Senate, and he didn't have anything to lose by running against them for President.

This election for the Democrats is a lot like 1996 was for the Republicans, except the Democrats have someone else to vote for besides the old Establishment candidate. Republicans made a huge mistake nominating old gray Bob Dole in 1996 after the revolutionary 1994 elections that swept in so many young, ardent conservatives to Congress and had the rank and file so fired up and Bill Clinton looking so irrelevant. Democrats won a similar election in 2006, and they are smart enough to know that you do not keep the troops fired up by turning back to yesterday's candidate.

Just heard that Andrea Mitchell overheard Bill Clinton say that “He couldn’t make Hillary younger, or taller or a male” in response to why she was lagging in the polls...he forgot to mention “likeable”!!!

Apparently he's also pointing his accusative crooked finger on the negative press and the GOP bombardment she's withstood for 15 years. Hey Bill, she got a pass with the (tough, ha) NY press believing she was fully vetted and all the hype couldn't fly once she stepped onto the national scene - even the hype that bringing you out will do wonders for her campaign. Seems all your "masterful" campaigning for various candidates these past years have fallen flat.

“Most of America simply DOES NOT LIKE HER already. If 70% of Iowa Democrats voted against her,

That rationale just doesn’t work.”

In the Iowa Democratic primary, Hillary only received 30% of the vote, so this means that the remaining 70% of Iowa Dimms did not vote for her.

I agree it is too early. Hillary will have to go all-out negative.

BTW, with Obama surging against Hillary, a front page headline in today's The Washington Times - "Obama gets beefed-up protection." The article states: "Secret Service presence has increased for Sen. Barack Obama since his dramatic win in Iowa, amid fears over [his] safety." Who would pose the biggest threat to Obama?

Funny how conservatives including conservative pundits concentrate on those negatives about the Clintons but leave out the most important part that they are socialists who tried to nationalize the healthcare industry like Chavez is doing nationalizing industries.

Socialism is a great evil that would destroy freedom, prosperity and our way of life.

Yes the Clintons are corrupt . so what ? which politician isn’t. I fear the Clintons because they will ruin the country and my way of life like Huckabee or Mcain would with their socialism.
