Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (D-N.Y.) top advisers, doing damage control after the candidate's debate performance Tuesday, told supporters on a conference call Wednesday that the campaign needed more money to fight back.

Mark Penn, Clinton's senior strategist and pollster, and Jonathan Mantz, the campaign's finance director, told the supporters on the call, which The Hill listened to in its entirety, that they expect attacks from Clinton's rivals to continue, and she will need the financial resources to deflect their attacks.

WOW, WHATS UP WITH THE DOUBLE STANDARDS. HAS ANYONE HEARD ANY OF THE REPUB CANIDATES "PILE ON" GULIANI? AS I RECALL, "SENATOR CLINTON" CLARIFIED EACH AND EVERY QUESTION GIVEN HER. SO ASK YOURSELF, DO YOU KNOW EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OBAMA, EDWARDS, ROMMEY, OR GULIANI. THINKS ABOUT IT, HOW CAN OBAMA QUESTION HILLARY ABOUT THE IRAN VOTE WHEN HE ONCE AGAIN, DIDN'T EVEN SHOW UP TO VOTE.

Hillary Clinton on Spitzer's Plan:

"Let me be clear about this...I'm for it and against it."

Chris Dodd said some very good things during the debate. He was impressive. At the other end, Conniving Calculating Cackling Clinton did her usual evasions of direct answers to any substantive question, and showed that she will speak out of both sides of her mouth simultaneously, on anything.

The campaign platform of Conniving is pathetic. It consists of: Show-Me-The-Money, Say-Whatever-They-Want-To-Hear, Continue-The-Neocon-Wars, Sell-The-Lincoln-Bedroom, and I-Want-A-New-Pair-Of-Hsu's. There are no depths of depravity to which this moneywhore won't go.

America needs to do better than Conniving. She is nothing more than Bush-Lite on the neocon wars and many other critical issues. As an advocate for the most un-American piece of legislation ever enacted, the so-called "Patriot" Act, Conniving shows clearly that she will be as lawless and anti Bill of Rights as DickNBush. (Gore has called the repeal of this POS legislation.)

Wake up Dems - take the party back from the Loser Faction and nominate somebody who is NOT hated by 50% of the voters, who is NOT a puppet of lobbyists, one that has ethics, honesty, and a commitment to ending the endless NEOCON wars. There are many good choices, but Conniving isn't one of them.

Got to love that picture of Barack and Hillary. Looks like Barack is sneaking a peek at that wide caboose of Hill's doesn't it?

Does anyone remember Senator Obamas line that got laugh at the debate in Iowa? Something about practicing the night prior on the bumper cars to get ready for the debate.

Senator Clinton's team is trying very hard to make this a gender issue, but when you are the "front runner" (especially the self-proclaimed front-runner) in American presidential politics, you get challenged, hard and often. That is known and accepted as gospel.

If you enjoy Hillary Gossip (and who doesn't?) you may want to note this name:

Huma Abedin

She's young, she works with Hillary, she's always at the Hillary house (day or night), she has Muslim parents, and she's smoking hot.

Hillary can take all sides of any issue and make people believe she is sincere. She is a gw bush replica.
If she was right on the issues to begin with, she would not have to responds to attacks. It is her lies she has to defend.
Any democrat but Hillary for president.

The report says they need more money to fight the democrats....who does that remind you of?
Instead of being able to explain her stand they need money instead. Clinton isn't able to talk her way out of her past lies, she needs money.
Wow!

Why doesn't she just tell the truth?

Transparency goes a long way.

Lack of transparency also goes a long way and we have certainly seen that with Bush. It's time for a change in the type of leadership in America, not just exchanging one face (or one gender) for another but holding on to the same pandering, secretive, wealthy-take-all strategy.
