Clinton's camp fires first salvo - Newsday.co talking about trying to get this country together this statement doesn't give me a lot of confidence

1. dupe in LBN

[OKNancy]

2. the headline doesn't match the article IMO

sounds like typical campaign talk to me. I don't see anything over the top.

3. Obama and Edwards campaigns are failing what kind of BS is that first of all...

there are no campaigns yet. Obama isn't even announcing he's running until Feb. and Edwards is supposed to be failing what a fucking joke that is. he's been all over the place campaigning.this just goes to show how ARROGANT some of the people in the Clinton camp are. they think they have this race locked up already.

[bling bling]

15. First of all, it didn't say "failing" . Please read it again. n/t

18. What a shocker a RW rag attacks Clinton and BD is on the case!

:eyes:

4. She seems really insecure.

She is 20+ points in front of Obama in the latest poll, the media have already intronized her, and she (or her staff) feels these types of attacks necessary...

They do not seem to have confidence in her ability.

5. I agree

that it makes her come off as insecure, and a bully.

No one likes a bully. If she's so strong and so far ahead, why would she be wasting time beating up on the others?

8. Yep, this looks like a planted article..

They are taking quotes out of context and reworking the spin.
Not a good thing!

6. Please remember the Hillary Clinton Ruperty Murdoch connections

see CBS news article "Rupert Murdoch Loves Hillary Clinton". The article reminds us of the fundraiser that Murdoch held for her in 2006 and shows their growing "relationship".

Here's a brief snip.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/05/09/politics/main...

"Clinton has worked hard to take the edge off her reputation as a card-carrying liberal. She has has collaborated with congressional conservatives on some peices of legislation, called for a "common ground" on abortion and cut a political figure some on the left see as decidedly un-liberal."

Let's remember that Hillary is in bed with the Murdoch Machine. A vote for Hill in 08 is a vote for the status quo. Why would Murdoch support her financially if they did not agree on the fundementals?

7. If this is upsetting to anyone here

We're going to have a long, hard primary season. This is the routine.

11. It looks like it's going to be even nastier than 04 n/t

9. Hillary isn't doing nearly as well in early primary and caucus states,

particularly Iowa, where she trails Obama, Edwards and ex-Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack.

Hillary's poor showing in Iowa to her absence and lashed out at candidates who have made frequent stops in the state. "While some candidates have been in Iowa and New Hampshire for years, running as permanent presidential candidates, Hillary has been working hard as a senator for New York,

Hillary; I'm worried about the future of our country and I want to help put it back on the right course. I believe I am best-positioned to be able to do that and that's why I'm running."

An Obama spokesman had no comment nor did Edwards, smart moves, Hillary will announce exactly where she's coming from and this show will then finally be on it's way.

16. thats why they want to move the CA. primary to Febuary

[mnhtnbb]

10. Hillary comes on like Bushie, "don't bother me with the facts.

I'm the bestest, 'cuz Bill and Chelsea told me so. Doesn't matter what Iowa voters think, or polls showing me losing to top Republican contenders (when Edwards bests both). Oh no, I'm the bestest! I'm in it to win it! I have the best sound byte writers, and that's what matters, cuz Rupert told me so!"

12. Bill Clinton has been smiling too often hanging with Sr. Bush - birds of a feather and all that

[Freddie Stubbs]

19. Ford and Carter got along as well despite their differences

[Texas_Kat]

13. I think it's frustrating to her (and her camp)

That she's not 'scaring off' other candidates.

With Richardson in and more evidence that Clark may announce in the next few weeks, her arguments seem particularly lame.

[Silence Dogood]

14. How so?

Until Bush has been knuckled under by overwhelming Demo support
Dems should be kind to each other.

17. I guess I should be happy you didn't put "DISGUSTING" in the headline

Who else is on the hit list this week?
