HWC..I agree on Dodd and his “here” at the end of every bloody sentence..God this guy looks like the classic old time BS Senator. He also came a bit unhinged last night. He kept repeating his resume, since no one knows a thing about him. Mathews who I hate, did ask him a good question the other day..”I don’t get it, why are you in this race?”. That sums it up for me. Obama sucked as usual. This guy looks like he’s 22 – no way he’s going to get the nod.

kostner, On that Quinnipiac poll: It’s a little mixed. She’s increased her lead over Obama but has gone from being 3 up on Rudy to 2 down. I think the attacks from the Repubs and Dems have made a difference, though I doubt it’s nothing that can’t be reversed.

admin, You talked about anecdotal evidence of women being angry at how Hillary was attacked during the debate. Where is that from? I’m just curious. I’m a strong Hillary supporter, of course, but that sure was my reaction.

The 1.4 million-member American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) just sent out word that it will make a “major political announcement” at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Last week, Newsweek’s Howard Fineman wrote that he had been told by “labor sources” that the announcement would be an endorsement by the influential labor union of Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential bid. Presciently, Fineman said that the news could be a “pick-me-up” for Clinton if she had a rough time at the MSNBC debate in Philadelphia.”
You just KNOW she’s got it! Another brilliantly timed endorsement.

But yesterday, The New York Times’ blog The Caucus speculated that AFSCME might decide to mimic the Service Employees International Union and opt not to make a national endorsement — and instead let state chapters go their own ways.

In the 2004 campaign, both AFSCME and SEIU endorsed

*********************************************************
I have been twraling through the news papers to see the winner of the debate. I cannot find anything on that. Could you guys please link to any analysis of how Hillary was able to face the relentless attack. Gee – to me it looked incredible that when everyone attacked she looked like a pillar of strength and was so solid – I was so proud of her!!

here what i think of edwards,

remember when joe lieberman, was running for vice president?
when al gore and jo didnt get into office, joe seamed to be more pissed off about it than al was. shortly there after, you saw liberman getting cozy with bush on everything. it was like he had that almost tast of power, and he would do anything to get it back again, he literally sold his soul to try and climb the ladder…

well thats john edwards all over again. he was so close to being the president, and the taste of it was just to enticing for him. he has sold his soul and will sell his wifes, to fulfill his dirty little dream…
thats how i see edwards.

Can someone explain Edwards’ statement. It went like this. Hillary said X (I dont remember but it might have been her Iran vote) because she is already giving her answers not for the primary but for the general election. He then went on to say she should tell the truth and not say one thing here and another thing there.

That makes no sense to me at all. If she is saying or voting in the primaries because she will say that in the general election, he just accused her of saying the same thing in both!

Undecided Democratic voters do not like it when candidates beat each other up. That’s one thing I know for sure. Nothing turns undecided Democrats into decided Democrats faster than the kind of behavior I saw on that stage tonight. If they try that shit again, it’s all over for ‘em.

A young guy we work with was over tonight – 24 years old and a recent college graduate from a small Missouri town. I asked him what he thought and he said that he saw a whole bunch of men go after Hillary and she was still standing when it was all over. He was impressed.

I’ve like John Edwards quite a bit up until tonight. He’s been my second choice. I’ve now realized I’m not buying him on foreign policy. He, like Hillary, is great on domestic policy but when he starts talking statecraft, I stop regarding him as credible. Tonight, he lost points with me. And Obama – well, i’ve never thought well of him, but I genuinely resent him exploiting the torture issue. Hillary’s statements are as consistent as anyones, and I don’t think anybody who hopes to be perceived as a decent human being has any right playing partisans games on that subject.
