		<description>Word on the street is Obama didn&#039;t inhale. And I refuse to inhale the dog n&#039; pony show both of these zombies are putting on as &quot;populists&quot; ready and willing to &quot;take on&quot; the big lobbies. Goldman Sachs, perhaps the most crooked lender on Wall St., is funneling big money into both camps. You buy the zombies with their palms up. Kucinich/Paul &#039;08. Impeach Bush. And New Yorkers, re-call Killary.</description>

		<description>Awesomely put David.  I think Shaheen&#039;s statement really acted as fingernails on a chalkboard for me, largely because he was still campaigning as he did it.  I do have to admit that this was the best path for the campaign to take, but it still stinks to me.

Ken; I think it&#039;s possible, but it is also rather difficult to believe that a campaign that was once so strictly disciplined has pretty much had the wheels come off.  I know that lately Bill Clinton has gotten a little miffed at how the campaign is being run, andhas in fact injected himself more into it, and get this, Bill wants to go more negative.

What I do know is that Mark Penn, Hillary&#039;s campaign manager, has been running Clinton as an incumbent, but I think what we are seeing is there being a lack of a plan B.  It worked great when not too many people were paying attention, but now that people are, more and more folks are picking up on the disparity of the incumbent campaign she is running, and the fact that she&#039;s not an incumbent.

And then you have the Iowa problem in that, Hillary and her apparatus just don&#039;t understand Iowa, compared to both Edwards and Obama who do.  From what I&#039;ve been reading, while the big three are in a statistical tie in Iowa, I wouldn&#039;t be overly surprised if Hillary gets left in the dust there.</description>

		<description>Good reporting! The thing is that the top people in the Clinton campaign are losing control. First the kindergarten attacks and now this. Check out the following:  http://inlandechoes.blogspot.com</description>

		<description>Shaheen and I agree on one thing, &quot;The election is important, and we must all get back to electing the best qualified candidate who has the record of making change happen in this country.&quot; 

 But change and Hillary Clinton having a record of making change does not compute.  CLINTON = BUSINESS AS USUAL (this country cannot afford it.) 
 OBAMA or EDWARDS = REAL CHANGE.  The choice is simple. No more debates needed. No more stupid comments by stupid politicians and over the top news media in need of a wagon to jump on.</description>
