If a male candidate got “choked up” during a speech (acting or not), they’d be mocked until they dropped out of the race. But this is supposed to makes us sympathize with Hill, right?

Looks desperate to me. …Or maybe not being the frontrunner is leading her to a nervous breakdown.

…And guess what the top story is on the Situation Room?

Thanks a lot, Wolf.

i’m not a hill person, but a quick look at what the junior senator has touched politically in the past highlights disaster….particularly his former state senate district. it’s a mess.

SHOULD HILLARY CLINTON COMMIT SUICIDE IF SHE LOOSES THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY??
We all would like to know what you think!!

Tim,

It’s pretty clear that HRC is NOT your ‘guy.’ That’s cool and you’re entitled to voice your opinion. But as the editor of this blog, you have a responsibility for a measure of objectivity, a measure that seems to be missing in two of the last three posts.

In your ‘Negative as it gets’ post, you resort to hyperbole. THAT is as negative as it gets? You must come from the sunny part of town. That’s more negative than being called a neeger? More negative than being labeled an Islamic militant? You think if Obama gets the Demo nomination, the Right ISN’T going to parade a bunch of white bimbos on stage to say how cute he is? You don’t think they won’t prey on every stereotypical bias white America holds near and dear? You don’t think there won’t be a ton of burning crosses and hangman’s nooses all over the South?

In this post, You Pillory Hillary (remember, you saw it here first … or am I?) for saying something she believes AND something that happens to be true. To quote you, she’s making a ‘fearmongering attack on Obama.’ (I couldn’t find ‘fearmongering’ in my dictionary.) THAT is a fearmongering attack? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I missed it where she used Obama’s name. She stated the obvious. We DON’T want someone ‘not ready’ in the Oval Office. Do you? That standard applies to her or McClain or anyone. We’ve seen what ‘not ready’ has wrought.

Obama seems like a fine man and will likely make us a fine President someday. But you do him a disservice by ‘babying’ him. If you truly think HRC has defamed him, then the REAL issue should be how ‘your boy’ responds.

As an aside, I think you had to be right next to Clinton to know if she ‘teared up’ or not ‘cause it sure wasn’t clear in the video. She got emotional, that’s for sure and there’s nothing wrong with that, Matt’s opinion notwithstanding.

The post about the Suicide was in jest,
I’m sick of ” WILL HILLARY QUIT?? ”
” WILL EDWARDS QUIT?? ”
” WILL ROMNEY DROP OUT??”
” WHAT WILL HUCKABEE DO??”

This is the closest thing to mental self mutilation you can get!
I’d rather get my yen/yang caught in a combine as to have to listen to this crap for another 10 months!!
For those of you who have a problem understanding combine,,, try using the example of Taffy twister!
I like Politics as much as anyone else, but come on, NOT A GOD DAM THING IS GETTING DONE IN WASHINGTON AND IT’S HIGH TIME SOMETHING GETS DONE.
This is not new,, nothing has been getting done for the last 12 phuking years!!
Who do we blame?? The Republicans or the Democrats?? BOTH AND THROW IN ALL OF US FOR PUTTING UP WITH THIS $HIT!

Why are we to expect objectivity from Dickinson? He is the host of a blog. Isn’t the point of a blog to get someone’s an opinion? Welcome to America.

Digger,

I’m a bleeding heart liberal and I hate to see anyone on the Left demeaning anyone else. I want to see a massive, unified front that will scare the Bee-Jesus out of the Right.

Wild Thingie,

Hear Hear. Or is it Here Here? I’ve seen both. I know, hear here.

even the independent media drank the obama juice after iowa. they’ve all been drugged!

what has obama done ever? what’s his record? does he have a record? cuz i heard he pretty much skipped all the votes in the senate last year. who is this guy anyway? besides a rockstar. has he actually done something for this country?

tim can do what he wants obvz but -could you at least rag on edwards, richardson and my man dennis a little bit? all you talk about is THE TWO.

you’re starting to hurt my feelings, tim.

Where is this Hillry experence?

Thats right, there IS NONE.

She was faking. When people get choked up their skin flushes, they look down so a tear doesn’t form and they wait until it passes before speaking. She looked up talked through it then waited for an applause.
She is losing because the women that she expected to support her have joined Obama. This and the ‘It hurts my feelings’ and eye-batting/pouty lip at the debate are desperate attempts to win them back with her feminine side.

Great actress, saccharine politician.

I love how Democrats talk about what Republicans will do if Obama is the candidate. It’s like they get a pass on their own racism, by saying “those evil Repukes will call him a neegar!” “They’ll ask if he’s ever sold drugs!”

Sorry, that’s YOU calling someone a name a blaming it on someone else. Check the racists in your own party.

Don’t cry, Hil; you’ll get wrinkles. (Oh yeah, that’s right… never mind.)

Like Her or not it was sad to see Hillary cry and bad to crack under pressure when the race just started. i liked Her for first lady but not for president, if She cracks at the first sign of trouble She couldnt handle the presidency.

I never dreamed Democrats would reject a candidate being shoved down their throats by the party leadership/the Washington Post/NYT.

Attention Democrats, running Obama is like the RNC trying to run Ron Paul. Nice idea, won’t fly in november.

Jeez Doris…you might wanna try decaf.

Dennis, a lot of what you have said makes sense to me (though I disagree with many of your conclusions); however, one bit is sticking in my mind as foolish. You defend Hillary by asking if she ever said Obama’s name in her criticism…and I hate to tell you, but that’s not how it works. You don’t call names, you insinuate…you get sneaky, conniving, insidious. You don’t call people out, you talk about vague ideas that generally apply to them. That’s how politics works today. The real dirty insults, like this one, don’t need names attached to them, you already know who they’re addressed to.

And Jeffrey, I live in Obama’s district. You know what? We’re doing just fine, thank you. Don’t talk about things you obviously know jack s*** about.

Jeez, NOBODY likes my ‘Pillory Hillary’ phrase? What’s a guy gotta do to get some respect!!??!!

How about some responsible reporting? Huh, TIM?? That means presenting things objectively, as they happen, without putting a spin on it. I dont think a journalist should incorporate his opinion into the news he “reports.”

Much as I hate to say it, Hilary Clinton is right. Obama is a warmonger, Obama blows a lot of hot air, Obama is the candidate who everyone loves for the wrong reason (his personality). I like Ted Nugent but I would not vote him into office.

The only reason Obama didn’t vote for the Iraq invasion is he didn’t have the opportunity to. I’m sick of hearing him brag about not doing something he didnt have the power to do. So what.

It is clear he wants to put pressure on Iran and proceed to invade when they don’t give in. This is not much different from Iraq.

She’s crying because she knows she is going to lose.

As for who isn’t ready, i Think the voters have decided who is and who isn’t ready to lead.

…don’t move me.

She should be in jail for the things she has done, not least of which is to not abide by her oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, the rule of law that the politicians have so quickly forgotten when it inconveniences them.

Specifics. What has she done that deserves jail time? The Right hounded her for eight years and could come up with nothing. You know more than they? Or has she been comitting ‘crimes’ while serving as s U.S. Senator, crimes only you seem aware of.

If you know something, YOU deserve to be in jail for witholding evidence of a crime.

Clinton & McCain more of the same.
