-----CLINTON SLEEZE FATIGUE WILL INVIGORATE GOP, DISPIRIT DEMOCRATS AND SINK DEMOCRATIC TICKET-----

-----EDWARDS/RICHARDSON TO WIN-----

It is possible that Senator Clinton is the best candidate. However, even though many may like the policies that Senator Clinton proposes, they should also consider her record, just as Senator Clinton insists.
.
The last Clinton Administration, when faced with the fact that protection rackets where assaulting, torturing and murdering people with poison and radiation, chose to avoid its responsibilities to incarcerate the criminals and to protect the citizenry.
.
Instead, they made a deal with the criminal gang stalker protection rackets to leave them alone and to consequently abandon the citizenry.
.
Do we want a President who sells out the citizenry for votes?
.
Do we want a President who sends a "crime does pay" message to society?
.
Would you vote for a President who signed nonaggression deals with the KKKlan or the Nazi party? Gangs that torture with poison and radiation are much like the KKKlan and Nazi Party.
.
We do not need a sellout President. We need a principled leader President.
.
If you are one of the few who do not know what the above refers to, do a web search for "gang stalking" to see the tip of the dirtberg. Please do it before you decide to reply to my post. Here let me make it easy for you: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22gang+stalking%22.

The Rise and Fall of Hillary Rodham Clinton

Ms. Clinton is history. Through all of 2007, she ran the Democratic race as if she was the inevitable nominee for her party. She attempted to stay above the fray, talked and generalities, and even went so far during a debate to say that the reason people are picking on her was that she was "winning". Her campaign manager went even further to say in November that if the election were held [then], that Ms. Clinton would win.

No more. Hillary now is dropping like a stone in the polls. She's been caught in several messy predicaments, most of her own doing. She looks unsure, un-confident, and lately just plain desperate. Having husband Bill around trying to plug up the dike has been more harmful then helpful. Bill's ego seems to get in the way of who he is trying to help. He talks more about himself then her does his wife.

Additionally, Hillary herself has gone negative. Her campaign has been caught staging town hall meetings, having her campaign team show up as plants at Republican debates, and has sent out e-mails claiming Obama is Muslim. Hillary, for someone with high negatives anyway, will probably be getting over 50% negative ratings in the polls. No candidate can win with those kinds of negatives.

Hillary has the experience of knowing how to appease the public in speech and the knowledge of how to hide untruths. Obama is very flavorable in swaying the public because he has not been in Washington long enough to learn all the tricks. I think change will override experience.

Ms. Clinton "rock star" persona is now history. She now is starting to look just another candidate with a lot of baggage that needs to be explained.

Believed a year ago that the most successful and deemed globally responsible President/Vice President ticket would be Clinton & Obama.
Both bring an exciting, knowledgeable, responsible dimension and vision to government that Americans badly need to re-establish international credibility and domestic confidence in their leaders.
Whether Ms. Clinton or Mr. Obama would be best suited to the presidency is debatable though I personally lean toward Ms. Clinton.

I am only saddened they haven't yet found a way to more delicately and succinctly define their differences while recognizing and supporting the class/intellect both bring to the table.
As a non-American concerned whether that nation can recover from the past almost 8 years and re-emerge as a thoughtful, dependable international leader in the eyes of the world I remain hopeful that "both" of these candidates are successful in 2008. Together they are most capable of contributing to a re-energized and trusted USA

@ Jim Howard - I agree. With all the faith Europeans in general seems to have in Barack Obama it will be interesting to see if there's a shift in attitude towards US as a whole if he gets elected
