By Verla Mae, October 5, 2007 at 8:07 am # “Is Hilary Clinton the best/perfect/desirable/progressive candidate the I wish we were voting for… NO!! Will I support her with all my might… YES!!! Why… because I can imagine a republican winning the presidency in 2009… and it terrifies me!” Sweety, the election will be held in November of 2008. Relax, and let your girl win a primary before you go swearing your allegiance. There’s nothing written in stone that says her detractors don’t know more than these polls. The polls don’t vote. Detractors sometimes do, though.

He had better numbers than Hill-the-business-shill before the Iowa Caucus which he lost along with New Hampshire, South Carolina, and on and on. Remember John Kerry? He had numbers about equal to Kucinich and he won everything in site (except the general election. Hillary is more of the same shit....like where we’ve been? thank the “anointed queen” with a vote. (my apologies to real queens) Want something different? pick another candidate, ALTHOUGH I must admit this is the worst slate of candidates presented in my voting life....from both parties!
By rage, October 5, 2007 at 4:55 am # That Hillary is polling well is merely a testament to the successful marketing her political branding is currently enjoying. She’s the New Tide With Bleach and Fabric Softener! At the price she’s being nationally offered, though, will her public visibility guarantee her better sales than Purex and Sun brands offered more affordably at the Dollar Store or Walmart? Face it. All the detergents promise to clean your clothes. One fragrant surfactant with sodium hypochlorite is not much different than another. Some packaging is fancier. Some are said to be available everywhere. In the end, folks will buy the best they can afford. Only the primaries will tell us for sure. The billions of polls referenced are meaningless. The polls reflect nothing anywhere close to the true political pulse of the American voters. If anything, the Repugnitized idiot propagandists are covertly conceding that Shillary’s the Democratic Candidate up against whom any one of that sad bunch of Republican losers stands the any chance at all. The infotainment propagandists don’t poll legitimately registered voters. People like my niece and all her eighth grade buddies regularly abuse opportunities to speed dial or web up Obama’s numbers because he’s so cute, and, like, so smart and stuff. Pudgy bow-tied dateless collegiate Neo-Whigs, who have Alan Greenspan tats and dollar-sign brands on the backs of their left hands, keep Dame Edna Guilliani and Shillary at each other’s throats. It’s American Idol on political crack. This early on four years ago, Howard Dean was ahead of his pack too. But, the voting herd is fickle. Furthermore, the DNC is more fickle and appearance conscious than the fickle voting herd. Eventually, it’s going to occur to the DNC that Hillary cannot possibly guarantee victory on 2008. Being the 60 year old former Goldwater girl who became a corporate lawyer who became a governor’s wife before she was First Lady before her six very lackluster years in the Senate does not scream experience no matter how the media spins this. Sure, nothing prepares a candidate for this job. Still, it’s not a job the mail man can get elected to do, despite his twenty years of government employment. Shillary is a light weight against every elephant on the other side of the room but maybe Dame Edna Guilliani. Her camp is not going to be able to control what questions she asked and the audience who asks them for too much longer. She can only trot Big Dog out there and publicly flog him to painfully extract his campaign support so many times before the gesture becomes more hysterically comical than even obviously hypocritical. In short, she’s peaked in the ratings. That cackling is going to prove costly when she’s finally voted off American Idle The Democratic Candidates in the coming season. Kucinich in 2008!

Don’t get sucked into being told who the candidate should be try this at http://dehp.net/candidate/ it will give you the issues and you can see for yourself who running, best fits for you.
By John Hall, October 4, 2007 at 2:33 pm # Once again, the bastards manipulating who’s going to be the candidates. Not necessarily who the people want, but who the media want. Chris Matthews was talking up how great a Hilary/Rudy match-up would be. I’m sure other news shows will follow that trail in lockstep. Hilary is a phony, a porcelain doll of a person. Rudy and that grin of his remind me of Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? He’s also a 9/11 whore.
By Paul, October 4, 2007 at 12:23 pm # More phony numbers from phony polls out up by the financial elites who rule this nation. Vote by conscience, not by predetermined scorecard.
