DemocRATS deserve to loose, and probably will loose in 08. Their only hope to win is by defeat in the war, economic downturn or recession, general misery and hopelessness. Military success, roaring economy and general happiness is feared by the democRat apparatchiks. The fake, phoney and corrupt Hillary does not inspire anybody, who pays minimal attention.

I'M lost is MRS EDWARDS saying her husband :
.........." HATES HILLARY " ?.................
I'M sorry but she is getting to sound like a person who is grasping for air and
..........." HATES TO LOSE ".................
FIRST the race is not over and the VOTERS have not made there choice yet but this kind of story realy takes away from who is right for the job.
AND it looks like she dosen't like OBOMA TO MUCH or is itshe fears HILLARY would ask OBOMA
to be her running mate.
AGAIN I say the EDWARDS CAMP SEEMS TO FEEL THEY HAVE LOST ALREADY AND THATS THERE CHOICE TO MAKE.

I think John Edwards hasn't a hateful bone in his body Pajeff3. Furthermore I am getting a strong sense that this race is not as over as the Clinton operatives would like it to appear. The good folks of Iowa have very good judgement and I think they will support John in their primary. As a physician, I am particularly interested in a candidate's health care plan. John Edwards has the most carefully thought out plan on Health Care and the Environment. He isn't as liberal as Bill Richardson on the war, but he's close.

What is most compelling about him is his compassion for the middle and underclasses. Those who don't have hired lobbyists to favor the interests of the corporate establishment.

Hillary has compassion too. She did afterall say that "...lobbyists are people too." It brought a tear to my eye, it was so sweet. ;)

Mrs. Edwards is correct that what drives the dislike of Mrs. Clinton is not apparent to all of us. But it is a fact. And we had better beware of it. It may well cost us in 2008. We can do better than her.

I'm for Obama, but I think Democratic voters will get cold feet and feel safer with a white man at the head of the ticket, not a black and not a woman. Clinton may get in if the state Democratic parties continue to allow crossover votes in the primaries because many Republicans will crossover to ensure that she is the nominee. This would parallel the general election race between Lieberman and Lamont for the Connecticut senate seat when Republicans did not vote for the Republican candidate but Lieberman. In that event, you can count on another stolen election.

The facts: John Edwards just said that no one should own SUV's -they use up to much energy- The Edwards recently built a 28,000 sq. ft. house-that's the size of a department store-with a squash court- He's a trial lawyer who made lots and lots of money from insurance companies by suing doctors- (now that really helps lower the cost of health insurance)- He has run for President as a full time job for at least the last 2-3 years-so far his only real chance of winning a state is Iowa-where he has basically lived for 2 years- The Republicans would love him to run-

I don't think Hillary is unelectable. She won her second Senate race in 2006 by a landslide -- more than 1 million votes. Many people who didn't vote for her the first time came around and voted for her the second time.
The more people diss you and tell you that you're no good, the more you have to come out swinging to prove them wrong. Hillary knows this and I think she's up to the task. Karl Rove called her "fatally flawed", but he also said that the Republicans would hold the Senate in 2006. He's been shown to be wrong about quite a few things.

The Hillary Hate Factor is real. Don't shoot the messengers!

Regardless of whether one likes Hillary as a candidate or not, the Dem party seriously risks losing the White House in '08 with her as nominee. Rove, nefarious f*** that he is, is no fool and spoke the truth about Hillary as "fatally flawed." Dem party needs to get the message. Elizabeth Edwards likewise spoke truth.

Face it, Dems, the GOP base will turn out in droves against Hillary instead of for their pathetic GOP choice. GOP base will NOT be so united or effective against Edwards. Edwards is also a far cry from the "ambulance chaser" lawyer cliche and his professional record holds up against GOP mudslinging. Does it not dawn on anyone that Edwards gets less attention from media and GOP precisely because he is the REAL threat to the GOP in '08?

And an Edwards/Obama ticket would really screw the GOP pooch! Get smart people. With Edwards/Obama the Dem party gets an electable ticket and our country gets an honest, principled, intelligent president for a change...and a decent, principled, intelligent black man gets closer to the presidency for the first time in our history and on-the-job training.

Or is the Dem party fatally flawed to forever shoot itself in the foot -- and lose the most promising election in 30 years???!!!
Overconfidence about '08 and ignoring the Hillary hate factor is perilous. Pride before the fall...

What action does a drowning man in the middle of the ocean take as he watches the big ship pass him by? Make a lot damn noise right...And that's all this is; a desperate, last gasp to garner some much-needed pub. What doe he/she have to lose? If you're gonna sink, you might as well go down kicking and screaming...

I just think Elizabeth Edwards ic completely irresponsible for this statement. What an insult to say suggest the lone reason for Obama's & Clinton's high fundraising is b/c one if black & the other is a woman. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, b/c our society has a lot of historical evidence that shows being black and being a woman is an advantage. Give me a break!
Check out: http://myragmag.com/therag There is a column on the Edwards, that reminds us that Edwards with only 2 years in office was considered for VP!

I can't believe the Edwards have the audacity to complain when they've had a silver spoon for the past 7 years!

I will find it very,very hard to vote for H.Clinton why? because she is a sock-puppet to LIE-berman and the DLC, if she was a real women that stands up for the CONSTITUTION LIKE Maxcine Walters, then a few mistakes in her voting record I could over look,and I like Russ Finegold but he is not in the race so I will take John Edwards so far but H. Clinton is a sock-puppet to LIE-berman, Big CORP:, and the CORP:, MAIN STREAM MEDIA would like for her to be the to be on the DEM.,Ticket. I hope she fails...

The fairy has his mommy out there speaking for him again! This is a soap opera!

"hard for john to talk about - but not impossible"

After all these years of talking and blogging, no way am I giving up my vote to someone who is Republican-ish.

Don't you have some wall-carvings to finish? The day of women being meek hushpuppies, and baking cookies when out with Chuuby Checker and the Twist. They're other half of a team, and have a right to speak their mind. Even though I don't agree with Mrs Edwards. I want her to keep talking; it's good for my candidate.

Duh???????

Here's the HRC nomination scenario in a nutshell:

o Take pistol out of holster .
o Point pistol at foot.
o Pull trigger.
o Much noise and pain ensues.
