Here's an idea for an Obama ad: a montage of Clinton's Sybillish personalities that have surfaced during the campaign with a solemn voiceover at the end saying, "Does anyone want this nut answering the phone?"

How is it that she became the one who's perceived as more equipped to answer that 3 a.m. call than the unflappable Obama? He, with the ice in his veins, who doesn't panic when he's losing or get too giddy when he's winning, who's as comfortable in his own skin as she's uncomfortable in hers. There have been times in this campaign when she seemed so unhinged that I worried she'd actually kill herself if she lost. Every day, she reminds me more and more of Adele H., who also had an obsession that drove her insane.

A few weeks ago, I started to feel sorry for her. Oh Christ, let her win already...Who cares...It's not worth it. There's not that much difference between them. She can have it. Anything to avoid watching her descend into madness. So I switched. I started rooting for her. It wasn't that hard. Compromise comes easy to me. I was on board.

And then I saw the ad.

I watched, transfixed, as she took the 3 a.m. call...and I was afraid...very afraid. Suddenly, I realized the last thing this country needs is that woman anywhere near a phone. I don't care if it's 3 a.m. or 10 p.m. or any other time. I don't want her talking to Putin, I don't want her talking to Kim Jong Il, I don't want her talking to my nephew. She needs a long rest. She needs to put on a sarong and some sun block and get away from things for a while, a nice beach somewhere -- somewhere far away, where there are...no phones.

before the feminists get trigger happy - this here is a rational woman commenting:
a possibility that a woman must not enter the 'equal' playing field with the disadvantage of - menopause? something like national security in particular - if as clinton suggests one may be called upon to make a split decision - i'd say ,conference call... obama (who has shown judgement beyond his 46+), if in fact the people are starved enough to vote in clinton - which i personally doubt.

in fact, if i were obama, i'd calll her bluff and challenge her to a split-decision-press-button type debate/quiz. let's see who gives not only the better response...but the better response, faster. i'd wage my last penny on obama.

The best person for the job is Barack Obama. He's the only one that had the courage to get real lobby reform passed in the senate. He's the only one who had the courage to stand up against the war when standing up against the war was extremely unpopular.

Hi JOVIS, definitely not. If you don't like HRC and state reasons that make sense, I understand. What gets me is when people treat HRC differently, with more scrutiny and anger, because she's a woman. Clearly LD's comments weren't fair. This is the typical stereotype...a woman can't lead because she's too emotional. The thing is that Obama's and HRC's positions are very similar. So why is (most) everyone on this post supporting Obama instead of HRC? People are really hard on her-both men and women-and I think some of it (not all) is sexism. Some comments that people say make it clear that they're sexist.
I'm sure some people don't like HRC because of her past. But what they'll find is that most politicians have unsavory dealings in their past, including Obama.

Remember when men were afraid to vote for a woman because of PMS mood swings and the red button? Hillary exemplifies why! Her menopausal mood swings ... the crying, the cackle, the anger, the pity parties, the whining, "throwing the kitchen sink" all show why women should be very afraid of her too. We DO NOT need the first woman to run for president exhibiting the very traits that shut this door to us for soooo long. Like Larry says, this woman needs a long rest.

Yesterday I was reading about this woman who was really famous in the 1930s but she made the mistake of marrying a black man. So they took her to jail and then had a trial and judge decided that she was "crazy" and she was sent to a mental institution. Just because she married a black man. I can't remember her name but I think he was Helen Fielding or something similar. This is the way cope with women who aren't demure and quiet and make their own choices.

All I hear from Hillary cultists is slogans: Solutions, Experience, Ready on Day 1.

Soutins to what? Iraq war? She helped create that problem. She is part of the problem. We need someone who saw it as a problem before it became a problem, and warned as.

Experince? What Experience? In the White House? Doing what? Where are the records showing her experience? The only experience I remember is her healcare plan that ended in utter failure.

Ready on Day 1? Doing what? Dividing the world into "good" and "evil" and refusing to talk to "evil"? That's NeoCon read. We have had it with that kind of ready.

Interesting that you think Clinton supporters are cultists. From the very beginning, Obama supporters, with his pre teens to college co-eds have led the cult cry for him. With the media casting him in a "rock star" his cult following is a laugh.
HOw could you possibly think that Obama has the stamina to beat back the onslaught that befell the likes of Bill Clinton and most recently John Kerry (remember Swift boat)? These individuals had political acumen to sustain the barrage of dirty politics played on them. All Obama has, is his youth cult following many whom are not old enough to vote yet; and his cry of "yes we can" ? All he has are slogans.

Personally, I am amused when I hear that Obama supporters are "fanatics" driven only by slogans. We are told that Hillary is for solutions, not speeches.

OK. Then ask Hillary to stop giving speeches, and stop using her slogans of "experience" and :solutions"

Regarding solutions, war is a huge problem, and she helped create that problem. She is part of that problem. She has no credibility on the issue to be offering any solutions.

On all issues Obama has offered just as detailed plans as Hillary. For example, healthcare. One can debate the merits of Obama's plans against Hillary's, sure, but he is not lacking in detail.

Besides, detailed plans on each issue are quite meaningless at this point. Implementation of any plan would depend largely on what Congress they end up working with. What is important is to set goals and general guidelines. And Obama has done a better job in that than Hillary.

As for experience, sure, Hillary has spent many more years in politics than Obama. But that in itself doesn't qualify her more for President. What's important is accomplishments. And neither Obama nor Hillary have any spectacular accomplishments. And neither does McCain, other than getting shot down a few times, crashing a few airplanes, and getting captured in Vietnam. So, the accomplishment thing is a wash.

On most issues, Hillary and Obama are not very different. On the issue of war, Obama is the only one who made the right call before the war started. And he did it when it was not popular to do so. To me, that distinguishes him from the other two.

Sure, one can question why he has supported funding the war, but there is no question about Hillary. He has consistently sided with the NeoCons. Consistently.

No matter how you look at it, Obama is the best choice in this election.

And since I said this, I'm ready to be called an Obama cultist, because, as all can see, I paid no attention to issues, only to slogans.

Obama was an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004, and has been a U.S. Senator since 2004.

Let's get real about who has more experience. Hillary has been a Senator for 8 years...Obama for 2. Should I say more? Are you telling me there is a question about who has more experience? Even if you don't give Hillary any credit for her 8 years in the White House, Hillary still has more experience. It is just that simple. I really can't understand why there is such a debate. I strongly believe that if Hillary was a white man, rather than a woman, Obama would not have a chance. In fact, I am 100% sure Obama would be long gone by now. It is not about experience, it is about gender. Apparently, some of you would much rather have an male moron in the White House than a smart woman in the White House.

No, please no more! If there was another candidate running against Obama, the scenario would be very similar...Barack is a very compelling candidate. Your calling Obama a moron is no way to make your case.

To Clinton supporters:

The Clinton machine is systematically manipulating and scaring people. I understand why Clinton supporters like the idea of Hillary as president, but they don't know her. As a woman, I was for Hillary too, and very excited about the possibility of a female president, up until two months ago. Once I saw the reality of who the Clintons were with all their ruthlessness, scorched earth tactics and lust for power---that scared me. Some Obama supporters are in a frenzy because they see this as well. The reality of a Clinton presidency would be a disaster, because she would not be able to mobilize and inspire enough Americans to pressure their senators and congresspeople to support programs, like health care, that we so desperately need. If Hillary is such a figher, why wasn't she fighting for a health care program during the last l4 years?

More importantly: We're just now learning that 25% of the vote that Hillary received in Mississippi came from white male republicans, because Rush told them to vote for her. Same thing in Texas--white male republicans voting for Hillary; and Bill Clinton was on the Rush show being interviewed the day of the Texas Primary. Don't you get it: The republicans want to run against Hillary. She has not been vetted, there is still a lot of dirt the republicans have on the Clintons, and they're just waiting for the right time to strike. They've got nothing damaging on Barck. If nothing else, this is a damn good enough reason to vote for Obama. This is serious business.

People say they want change, but in reality many people are afraid of change and afraid of the unknown. The Clintons are a seemingly known quantity and many people feel secure with that. I honestly believe that Barack Obama is our only hope in getting America back on track. His diplomatic skills are impeccable and imagine how proud we would be to have him representing our country on the world stage.

When Abe Lincoln ran for president he had the same amount of experience as Barack Obama; the experience issue is just another form of manipulation and smear on the part of the Clinton campaign and the republicans. Obama has flaws to be sure, but he has character and grace and his message of hope can uplift the nation. ''Yes, we know hope is not a strategy. But it can get people working together to find one'.

"...Hillary still has more experience. It is just that simple. I really can't understand why there is such a debate." Well, if that is the only test, then you should be voting McCain. Who has more 'experience' than Hillary. If judgment has no place in this equation, then this is how you should vote. And if judgment has a place in this equation, then Obama trumps Hillary.

"...It is not about experience, it is about gender." OK, so you switch again. So you say it's not about experience, it's about gender. But Hillary just beat out Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, John Edwards and Bill Richardson to be standing where she is now. As has Obama. And Hillary didn't start playing the gender card until the race card she tried to deal Obama didn't stick.
