Hillary is slipping, let's not bother picking a Veep for her..

[ddeclue]

Spare us the "flawless" nonsense... that's why she's slipping in IA AND NH? Because she's "flawless"...

The voters have seen through her and she's slip sliding away...

1. I'm not a Hillary supporter but it's important to remember that

1) these early polls are not set in stone, otherwise we would have President Dean. and 2) John Edwards is gaining but he has also come off of a couple of weeks of positive press coverage and public sympathy. 3) Hillary is leading in NH polls, despite that and is still very competitive in Iowa.

4. Well isn't it interesting that as soon as Vilsack puts his support for her she starts to slide...

the bottom line is people in NH. and Iowa hate to be told who to vote for thats whats going on hear.

[John Q. Citizen]

18. Vilsack was throwing his support to her before he or she entered the race, so

it's not like it was a surprise to anyone.

I just wish I could figure out where Hillary stands on the issues. Maybe the voters in NH and Iowa feel the same.

Let's see, I know she favors;

A strong economy

A strong military

Affordable health care

A clean, healthy environment

Winning the war on drugs

Winning in Iraq (should be modified now to saving face in Iraq)

Strong families and strong communitites

Mom and apple pie.
********* ******** ********
Of course so do almost all the candidates.

But where does she stand on the issues?

[ElizabethDC]

25. So what your saying is that endorsements, in general

have the reverse of the effect that they're intended to have? Methinks candidates wouldn't be so interested in them if that were the case!

The fact is, when Hillary entered the race, she was running 4th place in Iowa polls. Today, she's running a very solid second. The big story here isn't that Hillary's slipping, it's that Edwards is gaining, while both Hillary and Barack are losing a little bit of ground.

8. And she's "flawlessly" ahead in all California (early primary) polls.

New York and California both will be early primary states next year and she's far, far ahead in both of those motherlode states.

She's not my candidate, but she's ahead where it is important to be so.

[ddeclue]

11. IA and NH are EARLIEST

and it won't just be NY and CA. It will also be FL, NV, SC, and a lot of other states so keep dreamin'

2. That thread was the most ridiculous I've seen in Du in awhile...nt

[ddeclue]

9. No it was a deliberate parody of another original post

where someone claimed in the title that Hillary's campaign is "flawless" so let's pick her Veep. That is about like saying the Iraq war is going well so let's plan a parade.

3. Slipping in IA or NH is nothing new. She's taking you to school in the rest of the country. nt

[ddeclue]

5. No she's not... Hillary is slipping nationwide...

and just so you know, IA and NH are what matters.

[mtnsnake]

13. Good. Then Obama will take over.

At least Obama never co-sponsored the Iraq War Resolution like Edwards did.

[ddeclue]

16. Waahh... Edwards moved up, Hillary moved down a lot, Obama moved down a little...

That was 4 years ago. TWO years ago, he apologized for it. Obama never voted EITHER WAY because he wasn't there.

Let me know when Obama gets to vote on something important...

Doug D.

[mtnsnake]

19. TWO years ago Edwards apologized for it? How nice of you to re-write history. lmao

[ddeclue]

23. Dude, he DID...sorry if you don't know the FACTS...go rewrite someone else's history..

[bigdarryl]

6. who ever wins those two states will get a big boost

[ChairmanAgnostic]

10. with her own leave no child's behind program? be still my heart.

taking us to schooL? give me a break. a GROWING MAJORITY does not like, does not trust, does not want Hillarians in power. Period.

[SoFlaJet]

14. I even saw that A-Hole Tom Delay

saying SHE would be the best thing for the republic party to get it's footing back

[aquart]

7. Okay, this is just pathetic.

[TheFarseer]

12. If only this competeition was between

Edwards and Obama and Hilly was hovering around 2%. I think the Repubs get the best of both worlds with Hillary - they get their pro-corporate agenda and all the pandering to the right they want, AND they get to throw rocks if anything goes wrong.

[papau]

15. pro-corporate agenda ? Other than DK - where is the anti-corporate person? n/t

n/t

[ddeclue]

17. EDWARDS IS the anti-corporate person...

Come on now - two Americas? Ending Poverty? Universal health care? Does any of that stuff sound "pro-corporate" to you?

Doug D.

[mtnsnake]

21. Yeah and I'm Santa Claus. nt

[ddeclue]

22. Dear Santa:

I'd like you to make John Edwards President for Christmas..

Can you get to work on that one up at the North Pole?

:P

[mtnsnake]

24. Your request shall be granted

I'd like you to make John Edwards President for Christmas..

I hereby promise to make John Edwards president for Christmas, but just for that day and not including Christmas Eve. The rest of the term goes to Obama.


:9

[TheFarseer]

20. like the other guy said - Edwards

He talks about stopping outsourcing, healthcare and other working class problems. He defended children from corporate criminals. Edwards is NOT pro-corporate. Obama I'm not sure about.

[papau]

26. I agree - so far - Edwards does have the best anti-corporate persona n/t
