As Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton collected the endorsement today from former Vice President Walter Mondale, one of her Democratic rivals intensified his criticism of her candidacy, saying she had not been forthcoming with voters who will open the nominating contest here in less than two months.

The rival, former Senator John Edwards, said he would draw new distinctions with Mrs. Clinton in a speech here on Monday, raising questions with other Democrats over Iraq and Iran.

Edwards, along with Dodd and Biden are decent hard working people who just aren't flashy enough for the MSM.

Edwards has shown genius in his plans for the environment, education, counter terrorism, health care and taking on the corruption in DC. He has also shown courage in taking on powerful interests that none of the others has in addition to personal courage.

The best, hard working candidates are ignored while the flashy, superficial candidates (who spend more time posing for GQ and Fortune than they do working for the people) get 24/7 front and center coverage.

WOW, the Hillary campaign staff is out in force on this posting.

Gotta hate an outfit that has it's people posing as "jus' folk" on here and it's obvious who they are.

I think Edwards is the best choice.

Hillary will just be Shrub Lite and I got no problem with voting for anyone but Hillary. She is the biggest fucking hypocrite on this planet. She will say anything, get on her knees to anyone, and do whatever it takes to become president.

She has no morals, no honor, and refuses to take a firm stand on a goddamned thing.

I am SICK TO FUCKING DEATH OF BUSH'S AND CLINTONS BEING THE ONLY CHOICES WE HAVE.

God please take both those houses from this planet.

Edwards brilliance really showed at the last debate-he is the only one who could rattle Hillary-As a woman I loathe Hillary and what she represents-If her marriage hadn't been so bad we wouldn't be on the mess we're in-Gore would have won in a landslide and millions of people would still be alive-even though i vote Democratic I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HER-the Republicans are counting on this disdain for hillary to help them win this election as they have only brought misery to the USA.

Double-speak is soooo Clintonesque. She's good at it. At least the Girly Man is disingenuous right up front. Leaves little doubt the Girly Man speaks with forked tongue. And Sadsack is sooooo naive, he has only one message on foreign affairs issues, totally uninformed.

I feel the need to reiterate just how contemptible I think Edwards is. Yesterday, he was described as a featherweight trying to pass as a lightweight. I would vote for Thompson, or not vote, before I would vote for this empty little hypocrite. I don't even blame the Republican smear artists any more for calling him the Breck girl, despite all the macho take-down **** packed into it.

Well, well, well. He speaks the truth. Sort of like the old Kinks song. "Looks like a woman but talks like a man."

For reasons not at all clear to me, John Edwards has failed to catch fire. He is on target with his criticism of course, but it appears as if all the Hillary groupies are continuing to ignore the facts. They've made up their mind to vote for a karyotype that contains two X chromosomes. And I fully understand that there is a lot of pent up frustration due to years of sexism.

I for one am voting for Mr. Edwards. He has the three I things: Intellect, Integrity, and Innovation. And the three c things: compassion, competence and conscience. He will be an excellent President. If he gets the fourth I thing (Iowa), this will be a different race. John Edwards is the only person out there speaking up for the little guys, and that doesn't resonate so well with the corporate media. The voters need to educate the media. Let's begin in Iowa.

Hillary's answer should be obvious and devastating: Sounds like a pretty good description of the American eagle. In his right talon the eagle holds an olive branch, in his left a bundle of thirteen arrows.

Go Hillary!

Crawl away, Edwards!

My apologies to the artist currently known as formally known as ... whatever:

This is what it sounds like, when doves cackle:

"Senator Clinton is voting like a hawk in Washington, while talking like a dove in Iowa and New Hampshire,"

That's the idea, pretty boy. It finally sunk in?

That way, no matter what position a person has, they think she has it too.

Hmm, Edwards is starting to look better and better. It is about time somebody outted Hillary. She's as much a warmonger as Bush. Just look at her voting record.

I guess the meaning of "Speak softly, and carry a big stick" is lost on Mr. Edwards.

I am not surprised.

And all Democrats are chicken. There is such a sorry bunch of Dems for this election(and in the Congress,) I'm seriously thinking of changing my party affiliation to Independent.

We need to get past this structure that we're stuck in....the gang who think "hey, we'll use up everything on (and in) the earth and there'll be no problem. We're getting raptured, so who cares?"

It's all finite, people. End the NeoCon dream and take back our land.

What a surprise - no Mukasey thread on Monday morning after Friday's awful revelations that Schumer and Feinstein will give Mukasey great big lipstick kisses on Tuesday.

Let's inundate them with calls:

Feinstein: (202) 224-3841

Schumer: (202) 224-5744
