Anyone see or swayed by Hillary's appearances?
A national town hall with groups across the country, as well as Letterman, looking charming and good on the facts, do you have friends swayed by her competence.

I sent a huge memo and got answers, feeling more secure with her knowledge. Beachmom called it filibustering with facts at the debate. They trust her, and don't think about the wisdom of her positions.

Wonder if that blitz tonight will push her over. How do we get the idea of Obama competence across? I had links to Illinois legislature.

I SO don't want Bill, but he doesn't seem to bother as many who should.

1. The more this goes on, the less I understand her appeal.
David Brooks column this morning in NYT (Feb 5) gets at the side of Hillary that truly worries me. . .
I was at the Obama rally last night in Boston, so I missed (thankfully) the Town Hall. Listening to Obama, Kennedy, and Kerry, all in one night. . music for the spirit.

2. Thanks for the tip!
Interesting piece. I hadn't heard about Cooper's plan nor his interaction with Clinton back in the early 90's. Not surprising that she's still "icy" toward him.

She's afflicted with the "you're with me or against me" mentality that we've all suffered from during Bush's reign. Changing the "me" in that equation isn't the change I'm looking for. :thumbsdown:

Gobama! :bounce:

3. I don't personally know anyone who watched.
Most people in my circle made their choice (Obama) long ago. My dad is the only one voting for Bill today. And yes, he's voting "Clinton" today because he thinks Bill will be serving out his third term. :eyes:
