		<description>Why Lee Peterson's comment is laughable:

1. She won (must) the popular vote.

-Absolutely, positively incorrect. Even if you count the *against party rules* popularity contest in Florida. Have you ever watched CNN?

2. She has more experience on economic issues, security matters and
foreign affairs.

-She has so much experience that she said she doesn't listen to economists when it comes to the gas tax issue. Every good economist says it's a terrible idea and just an attempt to pander to the people. Good job, Hillary. Let's do something that will help very little in the short term while digging ourselves into a bigger hole. Do some more research on this issue. Most of her "experience" is being first lady (she only has one term more as a senator). In reality, Barack has more experience being an elected official than Hillary (he was a state senator in Illinois for eight years).  

3. She is the senior Democrat in the government service and the US
Senate.

-Are you serious? She is not a senior democrat. She is still a junior senator. You want to talk senior Democrats? Try Joe Biden.

5. Hillary is open and amenable to the idea of having Barack as her
vice presidential candidate. This is crucial for it will spell
clearly a united Democratic Party, and a very strong ticket to
defeat the Republican Party.

Of course she is, she's losing and if she were to cheat and win somehow, Obama supporters would be ridiculously upset. Why on earth should the second place person be offering the winner VP? If she were the nominee, thousands and thousands of voters would be disenfranchised. 


Thanks for the laugh, though. You people are a riot sometimes with your illogical, poorly researched arguments.</description>

		<description>Yes, we haven't picked a democratic candidate because the leading candidate is not the right one to face the Republican comes November. Hillary is the right candidate for the following reasons:

1. She won (must) the popular vote.
2. She has more experience on economic issues, security matters and  
   foreign affairs.  
3. She is the senior Democrat in the government service and the US 
   Senate. 
4. The view that Barack is the one who can create change in 
   government or in Washington because he is new and is attracting 
   people from both sides is a fallacy and may even border on fantasy.
   The reality is that it needs one who has the right experience 
   in government, one who has the knowledge, actual experience, and  
   and gut-feel of the difficulty and conflicting interest, to become 
   the better agent of change for the better.  And those qualities 
   are better imbibed in Hillary.    
5. Hillary is open and amenable to the idea of having Barack as her
   vice presidential candidate.  This is crucial for it will spell
   clearly a united Democratic Party, and a very strong ticket to
   defeat the Republican Party.</description>

		<description>I want a president to take my tax money and actually spend it on things like roads and bridges. Make Company's tear down 100 year old industry and put up new better ones.

 How about making lots of fire walls for our Forests so that before they burn ( every year ) they don't burn out of control... Maybe they should cut down trees and plant other types of trees.. like Evergreens in there...to solve the problem....

Hydrogen Fuel from water is a good answer... can we get a president to do that?   

How come I don't hear about Hillary running as an Independent yet?
I voted for Obama. I'm a retired white city worker.</description>

		<description>The hell with the Dems-  I say Hillary needs to run for president even if the dems do not run her.  She will beat both Obama Hussen and Mcwar.</description>

		<description>You've never heard of Quinnipiac?
They're not a huge university, but their polling outfit is one of the premier polling units in the northeast.</description>

		<description>I think it'd be wiser to treat this subject like an egg swinging on a table. We are talking here about people who seemingly consider race as a problem, ie, people not prepared to vote for a black candidate. The one million dollar question is how fierce/bad this unpreparedness is. I think there is some level of risk here to consider and anticipate. I am an Obama supporter and all this  thing is now getting disgusting....</description>

		<description>Clinton is being selfish any way you cut it. Either she's pushing on for the VP ticket or to try and soften the blow of her full out removal, for herself over Obama. It's obvious what's happening; she's lost! If she really wanted the VP seat, she'd use her leverage in this race to fight for that, shift her focus and convince her base to move with her. Nope. She's senseless. She cares about number one. She is attempting to hold Democrats hostage with an army of supporters who can be equally as victimized when she loses the nomination

Shame on you, Hillary Clinton!</description>

		<description>People who say they wont support the other Democratic candidate are fooling themselves. They won't have the stomach to see another 4 years of Republican rule, especially not by John "Warhawk" McCain.</description>
