1. It's a brilliant idea.

She is great in town hall settings.
Thanks for the link. :hi:

9. It's more than brilliant, too bad it's not earlier, and every day from now until the 5th.

It would've been a coup of epic proportions if she did all her town hall meetings on a national level. But I guess once is enough since it's in EVERY Super Tuesday state. :)

26. I agree but this shows one thing: this must make obama's butt

pucker knowing this "washington establishment woman that cannot bring about change", is changing how candidates will use advanced technology in their campaigns...pretty damn impressive move....

[Nailzberg]

2. She's really gonna offend those older voters when they can't watch Murder She Wrote.

:evilgrin:

3. Damn right I want my Jessica Fletcher, Not Hillary!

:D

[donheld]

4. On second thought

Hillary should be done before Jessica has a murder to solve! :hi:

6. please excuse you for insulting our silver hairs and golden years ... we need to ask questions and

questions need to be answered ... not by jessica fletcher, not by you who cares not what happens to silver hairs and golden years ... but by a woman who is classy, savvy, and should you ever have a time of need in the few upcoming years ... could even help you not to have to spend your fortune to take care of yourself ... or perhaps even could help you to save your life ... i am sure you have read about bush's proposed 178 billion slash to the medicare/medicaid funds.

please, do not insult our longevity, do not insult our nation, and don't be such a perfect example of bush's compassionate/conservative philosophy bs.

8. I really was poking fun at Hallmark Channel.

Their lineup is "Murder She Wrote" and "Walker Texas Ranger", seven days a week.

Hillary has an edge with older voters, as does Murder She Wrote. The joke writes itself from there.

[donheld]

19. Excuse me? Where did I insult anyone?

[MonkeyFunk]

11. HIllary's gonna solve a murder

in the second half of the show.

[Radical Activist]

5. Hey, that's her base.

They won't mind.

[goldcanyonaz]

7. Looking forward to this, thank you.

[Coexist]

10. what time is it on?

because on my cable, the Hallmark Channel turns into the Catholic Channel at around 6.

It sucks, because I will see that "Sarah, Plain and Tall" is going to be on, TiVo it, and get a couple of ancient nuns with good hearts discussing ... whatever.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

12. Obama should buy an hour on E! or the Comedy Channel. nt

[greguganus]

13. Hillary should get an hour on the History channel. n/t

[GoldieAZ49]

21. LOL very good!!! n/t

[Onlooker]

14. Who watches the Hallmark Channel?

I don't have cable, so I'm curious about who watches it? Is it a common channel in cable packages? Do you think a lot of people will watch?

[joshcryer]

17. It's a common channel, available on most basic packages. Plus it'll be on her website. And...

...most people will probably watch it on her website. Also, it should get a shitload of media coverage.

[MoonRiver]

15. Great idea!

And that must have been very expensive.

[jakem]

16. What questions did she choose this time?

:evilgrin:

[joshcryer]

18. It's town hall setting, unlikely they can reign in ALL questions from ALL states.

[KittyWampus]

22. they can easily plant questioners in the audience. You know they will. Probably ALL pols would

[anamandujano]

25. There will definitely be some opposition plants.

There is no doubt she will be able to handle it.

[GoldieAZ49]

20. yeah she plugged it at the end of the debate last night

save money on commercials advertising it

[loveangelc]

23. lol the Hallmark channel

[rox63]

24. I can't recall the last time I watched something on that channel

Don't they usually show reruns of smarmy old made-for-teevee movies? This gives me even more reason not to watch the channel.
