Wow, Hillary and Elizabeth, then Spitzer as.. AG ,he kicked ass here in NY as AG, Mr Wookie wanderings or not, and for god sake get Howard Dean back somewhere, And with William Jefferson and Barack Hussein in the "wings", or... what a team...

In-2008 ?- I campaigned for Eric Massa for the house in what was then the NY 29th dist-- a repub stronghold , and Eric won, (Of course that didn't last too long, but-) He was a real powerhouse, former Naval Commander, disaffected repub..He cleaned the floor with his opponent using facts, experience and in your face, "don't mess with me, dude." ...
I was at a fundraiser for him and met, Hillary Clinton, Eric Spitzer and Howard Dean.. plus Massa was there.. The vibe in the place was.. palpable...and i felt these were "the good guys."

Well, maybe as good as they can get...

But she's done so much since then. wtmusic Nov 2012 #66

Like giving interviews suggesting the "advantages" of outsourcing of US jobs? n/t antigop Nov 2012 #74

that is not true. Democrats voted YES for Barack Obama and Hillary did not have one thing= graham4anything Nov 2012 #103

There will be a primary in 2016, not a coronation. n/t antigop Nov 2012 #119

And yes, my statement is true. She lost the primary in 2008. n/t antigop Nov 2012 #120

part of the reason she lost is because some Dems were trying to shove her nomination down our throat antigop Nov 2012 #121

this time she has earned it. (Again, i was most certainly NOT a fan prior to 2009). graham4anything Nov 2012 #123

What part of --"THERE WILL BE A PRIMARY" - don't you understand? n/t antigop Nov 2012 #124

No, she hasn't "earned" anything. n/t antigop Nov 2012 #125

in YOUR opinion. Is this a dictatorship and I can't have MY opinion? graham4anything Nov 2012 #126

You can have YOUR opinion. But the Dems expressed THEIR opinion in 2008. n/t antigop Nov 2012 #128

and it's not my opinion that she she says there are "advantages" to outsourcing of US jobs. antigop Nov 2012 #130

so keep it up -- you're only alienating more Dems. n/t antigop Nov 2012 #122

Uh, excuse me, he is not the one who is doing the alienating! juajen Nov 2012 #136

he/she was the one who responded to my post(s). n/t antigop Nov 2012 #139

So do you not understand THERE WILL BE A PRIMARY IN 2016? n/t antigop Nov 2012 #140

Do you not understand why Hillary lost the Dem primary in 2008? n/t antigop Nov 2012 #141

yeah, she did not have the voters needed to win. Barack Obama had the voters graham4anything Nov 2012 #149

I repeat, because you don't seem to understand. THERE WILL BE A PRIMARY in 2016, not a coronation. antigop Nov 2012 #155

Pssst...Hillary lost because her supporters tried to shove her nomination down our throats. n/t antigop Nov 2012 #157
