Is 2008 a "change" election?
Many people believe that it is. No politician is safe. That is the greatest challenge for Senator Clinton, in my opinion. Although Bill Clinton was the only Democrat in the White House for the last 27 years, the Bushes will have been at the top or VP for 20 of the last 27 years. People are thirsty for change. This is the biggest opponent for Hillary Clinton. Voters are very wary at putting another Clinton in the White House for 8 more years, in my opinion. That would mean a Bush or Clinton on the ticket for more than a third of a century. Hillary will need to persuade the voters that she is the candidate for "change" or she may face a very tough road ahead? The status quo is simply no longer acceptable.

2. Most definately time for CHANGE.
That is how I rate the candidates: Who represents change? Who will bring the most change?

It ain't Hillary.

Too intelligent, so the put a chimp in to do as they pleased, Hillary, well she's not original just a retry after a failed chimp ploy.

4. Iowa and NH voters say that "a new direction" is more important than "experience" by 2-1.
What they said goes for me, too. ;-)

6. It should be a "change back" election.
A full reverse course from Bushism is in order. Who better than Hillary to get us back to the "last known good" U.S. government? I'm not for just any change. Bush was a change. I want to change things back to the way they were before Bush.
