06/19/2008 | She ran a despicable campaign, relying on smears and personal attacks. I totally lost respect for her. I was never crazy about her to begin with, but she angered me to such an extent, that my plans were to either vote for Nader or stay home if she got the nomination.

05/13/2008 | I think the staffing issues appear largely resolved and her campaign is doing a good job in keeping her afloat in the face of overwhelming odds against her. They are very focused.
Naturally, the focus is on Hillary winning the nomination, not on electing a Democrat to the White House, but as the fight becomes tougher, the methods are getting rougher, and I feel more than a little disturbed by the sort of mental gymnastics that she and her staff are requiring of people to portray her as the popular candidate for instance, not to speak of the slash-and-burn advertising.
If this is the bumpy part of the ride, then I am getting queasy.

04/28/2008 | UPDATE: April 28, 2008. Whew! Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Hillary sets the gold standard for that cliche. This is just amazing. It goes to show that she is really not a very good campaigner, and her organizational talents stink. Her judgment is also suspect. Let's see. No talent, bad organizational skills, and poor judgment. Just what we need in the Oval Office!
ORIGINAL COMMENT: I write this on the day after the Florida Primary On January 30, 2008. John Edwards is dropping out and it looks as if Hillary now has clear sailing for the nomination. Even if Obama wins a majority of the primary delegates from now on, Hillary has an overwhelming majority of the Democratic Party superdelegates. The superdelegates are party officials and elected officials from all over the country. These unelected
delegates are going to put her over the top regardless of the primaries.

04/28/2008 | Not a bad campaign from an organizational perspective, but give the strong sense they they expected, if not a cakewalk, more a coronation than a nomination in the primaries.
They took a long time to work up any kind of effective response to Obama, and over-dependence of Bill Clinton in the early primaries bit the campaign in the ass in more than one state.
Senior campaign staff has been somethng of a revolving door, which gives the appearance, at the very least of a measure of panic and chaos in the campaign.

02/28/2008 | She made a big mistake (1) letting Bill be an attack dog; (2) making petty attacks on Obama; and (3) mis-emphasizing her "35 years of experience." On the other hand, she is always well-prepared for the debates, and exhibits a good grasp of details on policy.

02/10/2008 | In terms of truthfulness, Clinton has been very solid. We need a steady person as president, not a person who refuses to take a stance on any issue.

02/10/2008 | ***News Flash*** Hillary's Cry count goes to 3.
Another big obstacle for Hillary is that she has yet to make use of cornrows.

02/10/2008 | Hillary run a very hard nosed campaign, but they haven't really been able to get a handle on Barack Obama, who has emerged as the "anybody but Hillary" candidate in the race. What's most telling is the lack of support she's getting from the party's liberal base. Obama has consolidated his support with the old Howard Dean activist base; add to that the black vote and you have a very formidable coalition. Hillary though comes back with strong support from blue collar workers and Latinos. This is why the race is so close: both candidates have strong bases of support. The Democratic convention will likely be very interesting, since no candidate will have the delegates to win the nomination outright.

02/01/2008 | The Clintons are well versed in national politics, but they are running into things they've never had to run into before. A lot of the tactics that had been embraced in the past are not quite doing it this year. Not that long ago, all a Clinton had to do was say it and it was the gospel. With the mainstream media now pretty solidly behind Obama, the Clintons actually find themselves being criticized where they were once validated. Stupid things they say are now getting play in the media rather than being buried. When a Liberal radio host says Bill needs to "run off with an intern and shut up", you know things are getting bad. That said, I think Hillary has handled herself fairly well through it. Of course, possibly due to sheer name recognition and their own tactics, the Clinton campaign is hardly buried. On a personal note, I can't say that I haven't enjoyed seeing them take their share of knocks.

01/31/2008 | Billary's dirty tactics against Obama have definitely worked, but I agree with magellan that it will backfire in the long run, especially if McCain gets nominated, which looks increasingly likely. If they (I mean Hillary & Bill) face McCain, they won't be able to use the same good-cop/bad-cop routine against him, because McCain plays the "honor" shtick well (he truly has after all earned that image). However, we may end up replaying the entire Clinton v. Dole campaign, which was a similar matchup, and look where that led ... Of course, if it comes down to it, I'll hold my nose and vote Democratic, because McCain's ideas are a lot scarier even if his personality does appeal to me. Overall, Clinton's campaign has disgusted me. I commented last March on how much I disliked her candidancy. I didn't think it could get worse, but it has. My last hope is that Edwards dropping out will swing things toward Obama.

01/30/2008 | I've been saying Hillary's the annointed one for over a year now. In the professional wrestling game we call 'democratic elections', it's now the Democrats' turn to rule 'cause they always get the job of paying off the debt run up by the previous Republican administration. The pendulum will then swing back when the sheep become angry about rising taxes and then it will be the GOP's turn to apply their brand of wealth re-distribution (from working people to the elite) once again.

01/30/2008 | The Juggernaut that is the Clinton Campaign appears to be making moves that will win them the nomination at the possible expense of the Presidency. In order to keep the party together, you have to win the nomination on merit, not by attacking your opponents. That seemed to be well understood in the early going with Bill appearing on the talkshow circuit to promote his book and saying that all of the Democratic hopefuls were worthy but that his wife was the most qualified. When the going got tough though, the gloves came off. Scars from the primaries may hurt the Democrats come November.

01/30/2008 | I'm ok with a woman president, but not with Hillary....she has the experience in campaigning having been through it with her husband....but she scares the crap out of me!

01/29/2008 | Hilary Clinton's biggest obstacle to the Presidency is that she does not appear to be a very likable person. I don't think that her campaign has helped improve her image, and there are still a lot of people in this country who absolutely despise her. However, she has the backing of the Democratic Party's establishment, and is obviously their chosen one. It will be really hard for them to screw up her nomination. Along with John McCain, I think she is one of the candidates who appears most competent.

01/29/2008 | The Clinton Machine has gotten nasty and divisive in its campaign, and it may cost them. They've gone out of their way to inject race into the campaign, and are doing their best to hammer it home that any success that Obama is getting is due to black people voting for the black guy. Their nastiness has been almost, dare I say, Rove-ian. It goes to show that the Republicans have no monopoly on dirty, divisive politics.
There was a point that I was leaning towards giving my vote to Clinton - primarily due to what I perceive as her competence. Now I'm pretty sure that Obama or McCain will get my vote.
