		<description>&lt;p&gt;Some people think she had Vince Foster murdered-I’m not one of them, but I don’t think not being a murderess proves much. As for the rest of your post, I don’t know what you are talking about. I don’t see her as the stronger candidate. Rush Limbaugh runs Operation Chaos which has Repubs changing parties to vote in primaries for Hillary. Rush obviously believes Hillary would be easier rather than harder to beat. I’ll take his word for it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If we use the word “judgment” instead of “experience” Obama wins hands down. He opposed the Iraq war-you can say he was a mere Illinois state senator and he voted present for Kyle-Lieberman. It would have been better IMHO had he opposed it, but not voting was better than Hillary’s affirmative vote. I’d take judgment over experience any day. It is true Obama is comparatively untested, but I prefer the unknown him to the known her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is sad but true that politicians fudge things, but nothing Obama said rises to the level of Hillary’s description of dodging sniper fire in Bosnia. By the same token, her holding hands with Bill, which she does at every opportunity, is just plain offensive. If she still loves him after all the water under that bridge, she’s crazier that I thought.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The Clintons are political hacks. Is that a “relevant” statement as the Clintons use the word “relevant”? How did HRC do voter registration in Texas, as she claims to have done, in the McGovern campaign in ‘72 in a district where the citizens and residents  speak spanish and do not speak English as a trading or conversant language and HRC does not speak spanish? How did HRC learn to shoot a gun and how many times has she shot a gun? How did HRC run across a tarmac  under gun fire when she attended a welcoming ceremony on the tarmac standing still? How can HRC answer a phone at 3 am when she is too tired at 11 pm to remember facts, relevant or not? How did the Clintons make 100mm USD in exchange for what? Does anybody care? Does anybody have any confidence in any of the Clintons?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The manner in which Hillary Clinton has seized on this issue only goes to show the extent of her own despair and &lt;strong&gt;BITTERNESS&lt;/strong&gt; over her waning candidacy. At the Compassion Forum yesterday, not only did she accuse Sen. Obama of being an elitist, she blamed Sen. Kerry’s and VP Gore’s presidential losses on the voters perception they are elitist as well. She is so blinded with ambition she has no qualms in smearing her Democrat colleagues. Compassion Forum? Please. Neither Campbell Brown nor the other host called her on it. Moreover, CNN has been relentlessly deconstructing and analyzing Sen. Obama’s words all weekend long showing the kind of bias that makes them irrelevant as a news operation. It has already come to light that both Clintons approached the same subject with a detached and cynical tone. Theda Skocpol, the renowned political scientist wrote to TPM to describe meetings with the Clintons and staff which she attended. She also believes Hillary’s comments are not sitting well with the Democratic establishment.&lt;br /&gt;
 Ultimately, and sooner rather than later, Hillary’s dishonesty and pandering on this issue is going to come back and bite her.  During yesterday’s forum Sen. Obama’s fluidity and eloquence was truly something to behold and admire. For almost an hour, it gave us the opportunity to learn much about his brilliant analytical mind. His performance was so much superior to hers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is Senator McCain who is out of touch and Hillary is conveniently tone deaf as she and her husband have used similar language in the past to characterize the animus in economically marginalized small American towns. Nothing new. And I, who live in Gotham City, need not go far to run into bitter people. If you are in touch with reality and are a victim, one way or another, of the catastrophic policies of the Bush administration, you have every good reason to feel BITTER and frustrated, enraged, really, Let’s face it, the Billary duo is desperate. This is why Hillary even threw Gore and Kerry under the elitist bus. She is shameless. People are not dumb. They detect her lack of sincerity and are repulsed by her shameless pandering.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
