Why am I reminded of the Tortoise and the Hare fable? Cooley Hurd Jan 2015 #1

GOOD! - People are tired of non-stop campaigns liberal N proud Jan 2015 #2

I agree FLPanhandle Jan 2015 #60

But, she already has started her campaign..months and months ago... pangaia Jan 2015 #131

Delaying it? From her second deadline of not making any announcment? merrily Jan 2015 #3

Being dead broke, this gives Hillary much needed time to extract more cash from her corporate buddies. Well done! InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2015 #71

Didn't she bust her custom made bike backpedaling on being broke? merrily Jan 2015 #73

Haha, Hillary's too poor to own a bike. She walks barefoot in the snow, uphill, both ways. What a complete phony she is. InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2015 #79

Maybe we'll have time to wake up Android3.14 Jan 2015 #4

Hillary, Warren and Sanders are by far not the only Democrats eligible to run. merrily Jan 2015 #11

I doubt it is at all that pangaia Jan 2015 #132

Yeah, if I were a regular Democrat (not Bernie or Liz), I wouldn't bother Nay Jan 2015 #135

LOL. And it's not even February! merrily Jan 2015 #116

Don't waste your time Hillary LittleGirl Jan 2015 #6

And by "we" you mean "a bunch of liberal bloggers"? brooklynite Jan 2015 #8

You mean like the 2008 Democratic primary elections? n/t PoliticAverse Jan 2015 #12

...where Clinton got as many votes as Obama? brooklynite Jan 2015 #18

+1 Gman Jan 2015 #21

No. In Presidential primaries, as in Presidential elections, the popular vote is irrelevant merrily Jan 2015 #29

I'm not disputing that Obama won the Primary process; I'm pointing out the number of Dems supporting Hillary brooklynite Jan 2015 #43

True, but you know there is really no nationwide popular vote in the primaries karynnj Jan 2015 #63

It's a ludicrous straw man. NO ONE claimed brooklynite said Obama lost the primary. merrily Jan 2015 #66

Nor did I say that -- I meant no disrepect karynnj Jan 2015 #80

Of course not, karennj. I said it was a straw man. Because it was a huge one. merrily Jan 2015 #85

No one said you were disputing Obama's victory. (Who would say such a thing, and why?) And, link merrily Jan 2015 #64

No link and no apology? merrily Jan 2015 #101

LOL so let's ignore the fact that almost half of those voting 4 Hillary in the '08 primary were Rethuglian cross-over voters hopin she wud get the nomination 2 guarantee victory in the general InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2015 #126

You have proof of that, do you? brooklynite Jan 2015 #129

Because all Republicans ignored Limbaugh? Operation Chaos? merrily Jan 2015 #136

Were there SOME crossover votes? Maybe brooklynite Jan 2015 #139

Again, I never said all Republicans listen to Limbaugh. Have mercy on the strawmen. merrily Jan 2015 #140

I am a Democrat who votes in elections. So do most of my friends. merrily Jan 2015 #14

no I mean anyone that is tired of the same ole, same ole LittleGirl Jan 2015 #19

Why would you want to vote for a "Third Way loving" "ConservaDem" like Dean? brooklynite Jan 2015 #20

I like Dean and LittleGirl Jan 2015 #27

You like Warren; Warren likes Clinton. You like Dean; Dean likes Clinton brooklynite Jan 2015 #31

No one has to like Hillary because someone else endorses her. merrily Jan 2015 #33

LOL! The DLC, from which Third Way emanated, endorsed Kerry, not Dean. merrily Jan 2015 #32

But Clinton is now the DLCer you love to hate and Dean has endorsed her... brooklynite Jan 2015 #36

Please see Reply 33. And, no, she is not "my DLCer of Choice." merrily Jan 2015 #38

Please see Reply 20. I never called Dean a DLC member, I called him "DLC loving..." brooklynite Jan 2015 #50

OMG. Clinton was a founding member of the DLC. Saying that is not "tarring" her, ffs. It's a fact. merrily Jan 2015 #51

LOL Kerry had no support from the DLC either -- Lieberman was their chosen candidate karynnj Jan 2015 #103

Besides the point. However, an endorsement IS support & certainly more than Dean got from the DLC. merrily Jan 2015 #107

Neither Kerry or Dean were favored by the DLC karynnj Jan 2015 #118

Fact: The DLC endorsed Kerry, not Dean. Fact, Kerry is totally beside the point for purposes of my merrily Jan 2015 #120

I suggest you need calming down, not me - and something is not a fact just because you state it is karynnj Jan 2015 #122

Both wrong and irrelevant. merrily Jan 2015 #133

So says you karynnj Jan 2015 #134

What is this "we" you speak of? Lil Missy Jan 2015 #56

just a random person reading this blog is all. LittleGirl Jan 2015 #125

Agreed. Maybe she's having second thoughts. Let's hope so. InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2015 #72

who is having second thoughts? LittleGirl Jan 2015 #124

Hillary of course! She knows the Rethugs are about to drop the bomb on Bill's underage fetish. It's coming . . . InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2015 #127

it's probably because Man from Pickens Jan 2015 #7

Well said. HappyMe Jan 2015 #52

Could it be the pollsters are still working on crafting her message? InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2015 #81

They don't need a message. HappyMe Jan 2015 #84

Her message for the general? Messages at coronations only create problems merrily Jan 2015 #88

Everytime Hillary opens her mouth, she creates problems. Then she spends most of her time walking back previous comments. Can't we do better? InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2015 #94

We can and we have, many times before. Question is, why the coronation this time? merrily Jan 2015 #95

Your post reminded me of the penultimate scene from the 1972 KingCharlemagne Jan 2015 #46

An excellent movie. n/t PoliticAverse Jan 2015 #62

The next to last scene yes, but Redford's character began very differently. merrily Jan 2015 #91

I know. The post I was responding to reminded me only of that scene and not KingCharlemagne Jan 2015 #97

I did not contradict you. I only pointed out something in addition to what you posted. merrily Jan 2015 #99

Yeah, I was merely reflecting on how long it has been since I watched the KingCharlemagne Jan 2015 #102

Give Hillary a break! It takes time to do polling to figure out what your message should be. Barf!! InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2015 #75

Memo to Hillary ..... peace13 Jan 2015 #87

Certainly bodes well, doesn't it?? nruthie Jan 2015 #112

Maybe wants distance from Epstein/minors/sex issue Sienna86 Jan 2015 #13

Nah...it's the Vince Foster love triangle/Whitewater/Rose Law Firm thing. msanthrope Jan 2015 #17

No worries. It will ALL come up (and more) when Secretary of Much Baggage runs for POTUS. merrily Jan 2015 #53

I think you may have hit the nail on the head. Apparently, Bill is lawyering up again, which is never a good sign. InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2015 #82

She has to deal with the fallout of that issue before moving ahead. Sienna86 Jan 2015 #146

MAY derail her plans? Or Hillary could finally divorce Bill but she'll prolly taka poll 1st 2 c how that affects her candidacy b4 deciding. InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2015 #154

I think you folks are missing the good news... brooklynite Jan 2015 #22

Perhaps not with a coronation having been on the calendar for years. merrily Jan 2015 #42

..and once again, the only people talking about coronations are the anti-Hillary folks brooklynite Jan 2015 #44

Duh? Why would anyone else talk about a coronation? And what is it, if not a coronation? merrily Jan 2015 #57

Here's a clue...politicians don't like to lose brooklynite Jan 2015 #65

LOL! who likes to lose? Yet five or six run for the nom all the time. Keep your "clue." merrily Jan 2015 #68

So why aren't they running then? Who is stopping them? Agschmid Jan 2015 #148

Don't you know? "THEY" are... brooklynite Jan 2015 #153

It's Hillary's turn Gman Jan 2015 #23

I don't buy the "her turn" argument. Renew Deal Jan 2015 #30

I am a bit tired of her HappyMe Jan 2015 #34

It has a certain Thomas Dewey 1948 flavor to it, imo. And we all know how KingCharlemagne Jan 2015 #92

She must think that she in the annoited one INdemo Jan 2015 #24

Funny, I thought "real" Democrats were the people who actually voted in Democratic Primaries brooklynite Jan 2015 #26

Actually, the less time Hillary is in the spotlight, the fewer opportunities she has to put her foot in her mouth. Hillary is her own worst enemy. InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2015 #89

Try explaining that to her when she's ecstatic with her own triumphs. Like this one> leveymg Jan 2015 #117

Some time ago, I heard a radio personality talk about Hillary. Frank Cannon Jan 2015 #61

How were you able to listen for an hour to that pompous, bloviating fool Hannity? InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2015 #106

It was literally the only radio station I could pick up. Frank Cannon Jan 2015 #121
