Will it ever end? How many times do we have to say NO to DLC sHillary? N/t antigop Jan 2012 #11

Yep, because Obama is such a progressive......... Beacool Jan 2012 #14

I didn't post about Obama. I only posted about DCL sHillary. No one said Obama is a progressive. antigop Jan 2012 #15

Maybe you don't think so, but others do. n/t Beacool Jan 2012 #17

This isn't about Obama. It's about DLC sHillary. Nice try. n/t antigop Jan 2012 #40

LOL, the only people that think Obama is progressive are conservatives, both republicons rhett o rick Jan 2012 #73

He sure made more progress in the area of Universal Health than anyone else in the past 70 years MjolnirTime Jan 2012 #80

Probably the only way Obama loses is if he picks up Hillary as VP. Romulox Jan 2012 #12

Your assessment is so wrong that it's actually funny. Beacool Jan 2012 #13

Too bad people don't understand the DLC and DLC sHillary's role. n/t antigop Jan 2012 #16

For starters, how about using her proper name? Beacool Jan 2012 #19

for all the Obama bashing here, good question! Whisp Jan 2012 #23

For starters, how about admitting DLC sHillary's role in the DLC? n/t antigop Jan 2012 #41

For all that alleged popularity, she couldn't win the nod in '08 though. Romulox Jan 2012 #18

You mean the election where the super delegates decided the nominee? Beacool Jan 2012 #21

If those Super Delegates hadn't chosen Hillary's husband, we would've never heard of her. Romulox Jan 2012 #33

Not so. Beacool Jan 2012 #46

woo woo AtomicKitten Jan 2012 #39

Just like Madelaine Albright was more popular than President Clinton? karynnj Jan 2012 #30

You always equate Hillary's popularity with that of other SOS. Beacool Jan 2012 #32

It is a valid analogy - She is the SoS and is doing that job karynnj Jan 2012 #43

And when they put Obama and Hillary against the Republican candidates recently, Beacool Jan 2012 #47

Hillary has missed all the filing deadlines and will not be the nominee karynnj Jan 2012 #50

Of course she is not going to be the nominee. Beacool Jan 2012 #52

Gallup has HClinton and Obama TIED for most admired. AtomicKitten Jan 2012 #35

Not really tied - they are in different categories - male and female karynnj Jan 2012 #42

That they scored the same was my point AtomicKitten Jan 2012 #45

I agree karynnj Jan 2012 #48

They are tied, they each received 17% of the votes. Beacool Jan 2012 #53

So, if I have two polls asking your favorite vegetable and favorite ice cream flavor karynnj Jan 2012 #54

I wasn't referring to the most admired Gallup poll. Beacool Jan 2012 #49

A better question would be why would Hillary want to be VP? Beacool Jan 2012 #51

I would add to your last point, that most people for whom the VP job helped karynnj Jan 2012 #68
