Bill Clinton on the stump in New Hampshire on January 7:

Later, Clinton "pulled a Rudy" and answered a cell phone call from his wife. From Politico:

In the middle of a town hall meeting for Hillary Clinton's campaign in Henniker, the former president interrupted his remarks to answer a cell phone call from his wife.

"Is that me?" Clinton asked the crowd, amid laughter, as he tried to answer the call. "Only Hillary has my number. It couldn't have been anybody else."

After he missed the first call, the phone immediately began ringing again. Clinton answered it again.

"I'm at your meeting here," the former president said. "I'll them that. OK -- I love you!"

He then went on with his remarks.

.. but he could have told her not to submit to the evil forces (the 'right-wing conspiracy') or their agents (eg Mark Penn) who were systematically going after them using both stick and carrot.

Hillary *could* be a progressive and not a complete sellout.

If she were, she would be in the lead, on her way to the Democratic nomination.

I have been just like many of you here to criticize Clinton, but I have to say we should not be too hard on her. Enough is enough.

She is merely a human being just like you and me.

I can imagine what type of pressure she is under now (Can you imagine it?)

I used to tell Clinton supporters don’t distort the facts on Obama.

Now I have to tell Obama suppoerts, please don’t be too cruel and ruthless when your guy is now on the top. Your attacks on Clinton at this moment is like attacking someone who has just been hit by a car on the floor. Where is your compassion and sense of decency?

Please don't go overboard.

I bet you can't make her shut up, either.

As campaign spokesperson for Hillary, Bill makes an excellent ex-president.

She's desperately trying to salvage (or recapture) her lady vote now, so that was probably part of the game plan. She cries in an interview about how hard it all is, she can't exercise and she's eating pizza too often, her husband plays the gender card... too bad SHE doesn't have Oprah campaigning for her.

It's over. Edwards get his two man race (see THIS WEEK with George S.) and soon Obama too will be outted as a vague centrist.

Yea, well he can't make her a progressive democrat either.
God forbid this should be about issues.
Remember Issues?
Healthcare, government corruption, the K-street influence in Washington, Nafta, oh and that little item the war in Iraq?
No it's all about being a woman, or black, or spending too much on haircuts.
Let's hope the New Hampshire voters see though the bull and realize that THIS IS NOT A TWO PERSON RACE. And it is not about Hillary being a woman.
So try again bill ... this spin just ain't gonna fly.

I think a lot of us here want change, but America won't be able to move forward until we bring Cheney, the Bush, to justice.

Congressman Robert Wexler:
"The charges against Vice President Cheney relate to his deceptive actions leading up to the Iraq war, the revelation of the identity of a covert agent for political retaliation, and the illegal wiretapping of American citizens."

Richard Bruce Cheney has committed treason against our nation. Congressman Wexler and 5 other members of the House Judiciary Committee are ready to bring him to justice. Please go and sign Wexler's petition, along with me and over 182,000 other Americans.

This sadly shows how out of touch the Clintons are with the rest of America.

People are not voting for other candidates because of Hillary's age, height or sex.

If Obama were losing in the polls, I don't think he (or Michelle) would be out there joking: "Man, if only he were white! LOL!"

I'd be offended if they did that. Just as when Bill does it, it's an insult to the voting public.

Translation: "I can't make Hillary me in 1992. Ah... 1992. Wasn't that an awesome year? Yeah, I remember..."

It is ironic. After all this support for Obama (you can check all my past record), I suddenly don't like Obama any more when he is in the edge of winning.

I feel he is shrewd knowing how to win but I feel he is just another politician knowing how to put a good appearance.

He also loves power just like every other politician.

He also loves glory just like every other politician.

He is lucky that he doesn't have any baggage because he is young and he is not around long enough to have any baggage.

That's why he doesn't need to go negative, but that doesn't mean he is really that nice and decent because the bottom line he still wants to beat everybody and to grab that power.

He has used all his advantage to against Clinton such as he is fresher (but that's nothing of course he is fresh considering that he hasn't been around longer). To me this is clever, but this is another way to show that he is actually cunny.

I switch my support to Clinton because I can sense under all this "Hope," Obama is also ruthless wanting to win. And he is lucky without much record he doesn't need to go negative which makes him look better.
