Clinton supporters ( especially the female variety ) tend to possess one or more of the following qualities:
1.a double digit I.Q,
2. early senility,
3. dependent upon government programs,
4.lacking impulse control and judgement.
Considering item #4 - prudent drivers keep their distance from vehicles with Clinton bumper stickers.
The only good news is that no matter how powerful the Clintons come to be, they have no clue about economics. Hillary will destroy the economy to an extent that would shock even Jimmy Carter, and no amount of Hillary's fascist oppressive government will be able to bring back.
1, 3 and 4 are true.
2 isnt.
That’s a problem that I hope has been trouble-shooted at the RNC since Clinton took office. I worry it hasnt, too much instability at the top.
The sole and only point of her entire Senate career has been to set her up for this. Every vote has been strategic, to set her up for this. Clinton politics = Machine politics.
Look at her commitee work. War. Money. That’s it. That’s her record. That’s terrorism and the economy, everything else is whatever pushes Clinton over 51 %, Bush style.
We need to get rid of #1 or we’ll keep getting nominally elected winners who are permanently logjammed by nominally defeated losers because machine politics on both sides always just tries to win. 51 % does it, but it just drags election season on 24/7.
We cant even go back to liking each other for a few years after a big election anymore. Fighting elections just to win 51 % means you have to slice and dice the population by demographics, and that’s identity politics in a country as big as the US. Both sides do it, though. We’re still months away from an election and look how much people are even fightin here. And we all share the same creed!
I dont think Clinton’s evil, but I do think machine politics could use a break.
The record to date is that the GOP has not been at all aggressive ib fighting Dem vote fraud
I am glad that she did not crap out. With her charming personality she will be easier to beat.
“Hillary will be the easiest to beat in the general elections.”
I’m not so sure of that. It depends on the Republican candidate, and any “wild card” 3rd Party candidate that might run.
I’d rather see her eliminated in the primaries!
Obama Camp: Who Won Nevada? You Do the Math
Source: Associated Press
(newser) Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in the Nevada caucuses with 51% to Barack Obama’s 45%, but Obama campaign representatives say their candidate won one more national delegate, the Washington Post reports. The Clinton disputes that calculation, insisting that delegates to the national Democratic convention won’t even be determined until April 19. The Nevada Democratic Party agreed that only county delegates were being awarded yesterday, but pointed out that the Obama camp’s math was correct, assuming delegates don’t change their preferences between now and April. “We’re not treating this as a loss,” said a top Obama adviser. “We’ll keep letting them spin the victories, and we’ll keep taking the delegates.”

I’m trying not to be pessimistic. But with a weakened GOP President currently in office, the voters are looking for something “else,” because they are unprincipled morons basically.
The only “good” news is - that Congress (the DemRats) are EQUALLY weak & hated right now. So, perhaps there’s hope.

Clinton turns to Austin adman, longtime friend to show off softer side
Austin adman helping longtime friend gain emotional ground

AUSTIN When Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential run started tumbling into trouble, she reached out to an old friend from Austin.
Roy Spence, an advertising whiz and godfather of the "Don't Mess With Texas" campaign, has been elevated within an expanding team desperate to regain the edge against Democratic rival Barack Obama.
A revised stump speech and new commercials used in Nevada, South Carolina and California feature Mrs. Clinton listening to voters. If the old message was about her "Ready to Lead" the new message is also about us "It's about people," a tagline says.
"I'm more actively engaged on a daily basis for a while to make sure that Hillary's heart gets communicated," said Mr. Spence, whose friendship with the Clintons goes back three decades.
After Mrs. Clinton lost the Iowa caucuses to Mr. Obama and appeared to be struggling in New Hampshire, Mr. Spence flew there to help pull out a surprise victory. He then went to the Clintons' home in Chappaqua, N.Y., where she recorded new spots focusing more directly on her personality.
"He is her friend and is very good at getting emotions out of people," said a Democratic insider, not authorized to speak publicly about the race. "He's the warm-and-fuzzy man. Roy's like the psychological pillow carrier, and he's there to soften her image."... http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/politics/state/stories/DN-spence_20pol.ART.State.Edition1.37f4e92.html
"Dear MSM the latest Hillary image we are presenting is "warm and fuzzy." You are directed to use that template from now on." Roy Spence
What a dismal turnout for the Dems. Guess there aren’t too many in Nevada.
You see personal friction. I see a tag team.
Hillary can’t win, because she’s too divisive.
Obama can’t win, because he lacks experience and has a racist wife (”Black America will wake up,” http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2007/11/sweet_blog_special_black_ameri.html).
Edwards is third and will remain third as long as Hillary and Obama battle it out.
The Democrats have nothing.
Small town,
All that it takes is for the millions of Democrat voters living in government housing projects to overwhelm any votes by a total of voters in small towns across the country.
I will be voting early today for Romney here in Cook (Crook) County, IL
