We in Europe are watching your primaries with 'trepidation." There's one thing that can be said of American politics today: exciting, i.e., people are excited -- they see change.

Most Europeans have no doubt the Democratic Party's final nominee will give whoever becomes the GOP presidential candidate a run for his money and give Bush-Cheney, their cronies and their politics a good, hard, lethal kick in the butt.

The biggest problem with this strategy is it exposes her in the general election. In the general the Rep will call on her to be specific. Dems dont want to criticize Bill, but Rep wont mind.
Also, if McCain is the nominee, doesnt her "risk and experience" argument leave her in a losing position.

Boy, Brian do I ever agree with you. To me, this election is all about Iraq and the war on terror. It would be a disaster for country and the free world if we prematurely run from Iraq. Not to mention that we have an absolute moral imperative to finish the job there and in Afghanistan. To leave before their countries are able to stand on their own would purposefully turn them over to the tender mercies of al Queda. That is simply unacceptable to me.

It is too easy for many Democrats (and yes, some Republicans) to sit in the comfort of their home, secure in their own freedom to cast aside the Iraqi citizen. I just cannot conceive of that lack of compassion or ethics.

That is why this issue is my overriding priority in 2008.

I saw Rollins on Fox News Thurs night -- that was very telling. I hadn't at any point planned to vote for Huckabee, but I saw him as a very likeable, genuine candidate. After hearing Rollins speak, the "Huckabee the Huckster" references suddenly became clear. I think he has far more politician in him than I realized, and I would be loathe to trust anything the man says or does at this point.

That's hilarious!! Obama should use that!! Seriously!!

I think you are seriously naive. They may not be "all-powerful", but don't underestimate the Clinton organization, or the depths to which they are willing to sink to win this.

Isn't that what Giuliani essentially did by putting zero effort into his campaigning there? And he definitely got what he paid for!

I am not a fan of either Obama or Clinton, but I do agree with much of what you said. Just be careful -- likeablility does not a leader make. Cliches and platitudes will not hold water down the road.

Actually there is nothing to think about there. There are simply way more Democrats than Republicans in Iowa. It's a more liberal state than it gets portrayed as. So the party-vs.-party turnout is always going to favor the Dems there.

Great thread... Hillary will go down swinging wildly, hoping to land a solid punch. This lady is so deserving of the "slow death" (politically speaking) that she has just entered into. The fact that a novice young politician has pinned her to the ropes, speaks volume of the poor candidate she really is. Every where I go, people are saying "anybody but Hillary Clinton".

Bottom line is, the country has had enough of the Bush-Clinton dynasty. Hillary is pushing a "time for change" campaign; she couldn't have been more correct.... Time to put the Bush's and Clinton's out to pasture...

Because Edwards was so formidable the last time too.

I see where you're coming from.

If you were paying attention to ElRusho, Teresa..he said Huck was on track to win it back in the early part of Nov. and you underestimate him at your peril.

Ah, a blast from the past. Notice the beaming smile on Kerrys face as he wins Iowa on his quest to achieve loserdom staus. You were probably saying Kerry had it in the bag.

Also I love how history repeats itself and Edwards is still in second place in Iowa. Always a bridesmaid and never a bride I guess. And that does accurately describe him by the way- number two.

Multitasking isn't the same as changing the subject. Multitasking would be having a conversation about Clinton and a second one about Romney, while also chewing gum and doing your taxes.
So, while you may be able to mutlitask, what you actulaly did was change teh subject. Big difference.
Of course, if you think changing the subject is the same as multitasking then you might not be able to multitask, since you're not sure what it means.
If you meant by multitasking that you can change the subject and just got the definiitions wrong, then yes I guess you can multitask.

The problem with this is Bush only controls the war till the end of his term. Once the next president comes into play it get shoved onto his plate and, like it or not, he will suffer the consequences were it to fall apart under his watch if we pull out. And likewise if he decides to stick it out and keep the troops in he will alienate his kooky base who will recognize that he was a huckster all along as he promised ichange and didnt deliver.

"I've written several times that I'll never vote for John McCain this side of hell. This is not true. If the Hilldabeast is the nominee for the despicable dems, I will crawl naked over broken glass to trip the lever for McCain. I'd hate myself in the morning, but I'd do it.

God save the United States from this disgusting woman."

LOL.......I feel the same way from the other side of the aisle.
and though since McCain has been kissing the JR's ass the last two years I've come to loathe McCain.............I will join you in voting for him if that is my duty to prevent that pandering women from the Presidency.

America cannnot live through 8 more years of amoral leadership.

and by the way, didn't Kerry win Iowa?
don't remember any presidents named Kerry. I do remmber a Kerry who siad he was reporting for duty, and had something to do with a Heinz ketchup bottle though. Oh and he looked a bit like Lurch, only more gangly.
Whatever happened to that guy? He was really swell.

"As far as qualities one would expect a President to have (experience, knowledge, character), the Dem field is sleeping on sewer grates and bumming spare change."

telling that you neglect the most important quality: JUDGEMENT (i.e. common sense).

of the three qualities you mention Obama has two:

and he apears to have the one I mention as well.

....................

how many does bush have?

experience? - yes, he was a Governor and lived a few miles from me in the mid 90's. And jogged at Townlake - never saw him, but did see his "opponent" Richards out there several times.

Knowledge - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........Obama could run circle around Bush on that one!

character - ................well.............not from what I can see - but maybe you can see some where I cannot WRT Bush.

So (giving the benefit of the doubt and assuming JR has "character" we have a........................

TIE: both Jr and Obama have 2 or the three qualities you value so much!

BUT only ONE HAS THE QUALITY I VALUE - COMMON SENSE!

that it ain't Bush Jr - how whimsickly went to war out of choice and without a plan to leave nor a plan to creat a new Iraq.

Bush is a MORON - and morons lack judgement.

........do you lack judgement Dockey?

They are not all powerful, but they do fight dirty and are willing to get in the mud and fight for their candidate. Clinton didn't get where he was by winning Iowa either.
So lets not count your chickens before they hatch. Front runners are not always the ultimate winnners. Just look at Giuliani. He was the projected front runner and he's in dead last in Iowa. But that doesn't mean that he ultmately wont win the whole thing. Each state is different and will impact candidates differently and any number of things can occur between now and elections that could derail any number of candidates.

why are you playing the Billary apologist? Keemo is right, - hell even Del and Donkey is right on this one - that being Billary is a fraud, a bitch and unworhty and even a detriment to America should she become president.

Hell I've seen your posts and i think you are ALMOST as liberal as i am. So why are you playing the sellout here?

Billary STINKS - period.

Obama is the better candidate - and should he be defeated by the phoney one (no not the other one - Romney) I and many others (many Liberals like me) will REFUSE to vote in the General and the Repugs will win the nomination.

chew on that one Teresa!!!

- so whats your story? why the sellout?

do tell.
