Hillary outpolling Obama

What has he done besides spend spend spend, and not interfere when the Navy had a job to do?

I would have (biting my own tongue) preferred Clinton as a Prez over Obama... thought she was the lesser of 2 extreme evils

If she had won, you all might have been saying Obama should have won. Isn't it true that Republicans just can't stand Democrats in office especially considering the numbers in which they have been elected?

Her priority was so called socialist healthcare anyway and she would have giving Bill some great appointment. That would have sent you all into a tailspin as well.

Not saying that I would have agreed with her on the majority of her stances... however.. I feel she was slightly less extreme than Obama (though not by much)...

Yes... I would be screaming against her healthcare attempts, but we are screaming against them with Obama as well... no difference there

I don't think I ever would be saying that Obama 'should have won'... I cannot see any instance where I would have preferred him over any other candidate in the race that could/would have won

Extreme times call for extreme measures. I love Hillary but I believe she like her husband, wants to cover all the bases and make everyone happy. This economy requires someone who can make tough choices. Obama is doing that, imo.

We'll see if I still feel that way in a year, I don't know. Obama seems fearless to me and his advisors, including Hillary are doing a bang up job so far.
 
Washington - At the 100-day mark last week, Hillary Clinton could finally say she beat Barack Obama.

The most recent polls show Clinton with a whopping job approval rating of 71% as secretary of state, while the new President topped out at 65%.

Even among Hillary admirers, that lofty rating is a bit of a stunner, given her past reputation as one of the most polarizing figures on the American scene.

"She's acting like a statesman and diplomat and representing her President instead of herself," said a prominent Democrat. "She hasn't gone off on her own as many predicted. It's been very rehabilitating for her image."

Not sure why this should come as a surprise to anyone. She won the popular vote. The peoples' voice was discounted by the superdelegates.


Missed that the first time. Yet another example of leftist hypocrisy when there was nary a word over Hillary having bested Obama in numbers of votes yet Obama received the nomination...

Well, she didn't win the popular vote nor the superdelegates.

It was very close however so she decided not to concede right away hoping for a grass roots uprising on her behalf. The Democrates clammored for that concession fearing, this scenario would split the party, making it easier for McCain to slide into the presidency the same way he slid into the nomination.

Ready? I think she'd have picked Biden too

You can't be serious? You think Obama and Hillary had bad blood in the end? Hillary and Biden have NEVER been on the same page. I think there is a large amount of seething hatred between the two, actually.

You may be right, maybe not Obama. Bayh, Richardson, and even Wesley Clark were possibilities, though. Biden? No chance in hell.

And yes, Hillary winning the nomination may have caused McCain to make a better VP selection like Romney. I'd be okay with that. At least we'd have one fiscally conservative person in the White House right now.

Bzzt, incorrect. Read the numbers. More people cast ballots for her than anyone else. Sure, he wasn't on the ballot in Michigan, but even if he had been, she still would have won the popular vote. Edwards was still very much in the race at that point, so he and Obama would have shared the "undecided" votes. Being that she still had a good margin of victory over the undecideds, she still would have handily won Michigan.
 
It's a function of the spotlight, probably. If Clinton was pres and Obama SoS the MSM would be savaging Clinton and Obama would have higher polls.

IF Clinton was Pres, SHE would have chosen Obama as her VP....

That simply isn't true, she had her own short list. VP wouldn't have been a great choice for either of them but a cabinet position is perfect.

The reason we don't have Republicans in office right now is because of their bad strategic moves and decisions. I don't think you can possibly know what was or in either Hillary or Obama's mindset in these decisions. Only Repub type guesses on your part here.

Well one thing I'll say for her.... I'd lay odds on her having vetted her cabinet picks a helluva lot better than Obama did!

You sure you're thinking of Biden and not Chris Dodd? Biden is gaffe prone but I thought he was one who got along with all of his peers... It was Hillary, Edwards and Dodd who had the big fight during one of the debates.
 
Well I, for one, wasn't of the opinion that she was the right person either -- from the Dems standpoint that is.

Irrelevant. More people voted for Hillary in the primaries. She should be President right now, and we wouldn't be trillions of dollars more in debt.

Oh, I don't know about that,, I remember Hillary saying "You cannot afford to do what I want to do." She would have gone slower though.


What she said was "I have a million ideas. We can't afford all of them."
 
The Prophet both deserves this maddened hag and needs her unflinching determination. Best to keep your enemies closer as the saying goes.
