Bj I know you will like this, not only is Hillary losing in Iowa but when she was put up against the GOP candidates, she is losing by 3-5 pts. The 5 are Rudy Giulliani, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, John McCain and Mike Huckabee

I think the Democrats would be crazy to nominate someone with such high negative ratings as their candidate. With such an uninspiring Republican field, she's probably the only candidate who could lose the election for them. But money talks, and Hillary has truckloads of the stuff.

Thta may be Hillary's game plan. There is nobody inspiring out the for the GOP. Obama has some excitement from the DNC, but not enough to undo the Clinton machine

i respect McCain and like Huckabee but I don;t see them having a chance.

Mitt Romney I don't like because he is too polished.

Excellent! Last night's Republican debate on the liberal CNN had a supposed random questioner, a retired general, asking a question about gays in the military. Since he admitted he is gay, the question was a set up. Guess what? The retired general is on Hillary's payroll and CNN set up the Republicans with his question!! Now Big Bill Clinton, the end-all idiot he is, is saying he was ALWAYS against invading Iraq! Nay-Nay...It is all on tape when in 1998 and later on he defended the need to take out Saddam. How any rational thinking American could ever contemplate voting for this scandalous couple is beyond my comprehension. ANYONE but the Clintons!

Seems everyone has underestimated the digital age. Bush always contradicts everything he says and acts like no one remembers. :x

How a bout that! It's not over till its over but she is not looking good, in more ways than one ;).
I really don't want another Clinton or Bush in the white house.

Huck's bid the the office is showing life, what the hell :shock: . I think he promised Stephen Colbert the VP back when he was at 2% in the polls :lol:

Colbert is a fake. He plans to cross the writer's union picket lines with liberal Jon Stewart and go back to work for they are losing audience and interest. Yet, both supposedly support the 'common man' and Colbert's idol was a Russian socialist union leader to boot! Fakes, every single one of these elitist liberals. Keep up the good work Obama and get Hillary expunged from our democracy!

Do you have a source for any of this? Stewart was the first to refuse to cross the picket lines, even paying his writers out of his own pocket for two weeks, and TDS and The Colbert Report went dark before any other show, apart from the late night talk shows like Letterman and Leno.

Personally, I would be very wary of anything I read in the MSM about Colbert. He made a lot of enemies at the White House Correspondents Dinner, basically slamming the assembled Washington press corps for being little more than "stenographers to power". I'll bet there are a few powerful journalists who would love to get back at him for that.

Oh well we can't all be heroes. I'd thought these guy would be more sympathetic. There just about writers themselves and work closely with them.

Mike Huckabee has the support of Chuck Norris, so he must be the favourite.

All he needs now is Dog the Bounty Hunter's endorsement and the presidency is his.

They've certainly gone down in my estimation. Colbert will probably do better without writers than Stewart, since he's a master of improvisation, but I won't be watching. I miss The Daily Show and Colbert Report, but I'm not going to support them scabbing.

I agree. The writers union claim Stewart and Colbert were forced back to work. It could be true, but I won't be watching either. One it will probably suck with out writers (except for colbert, he can ad lib that one all day long), two I think these kind of tactics stink. Letterman has taken the high road and is a class act in this instance.

Letterman is far from class. He never answered O'Reilly's face to face question,"do you want the USA to win the war on terrorism"? Letterman paused, then said, "I have to think about that". Another moron, not worth the money he is paid. I do not need sources either, for I watched it myself on television personally. By the way, Obama cleaned Hillary "Rotten" Clinton's clock in Iowa, and she even finished behind Edwards. One down, New Hampshire to go. Problem with Obama is he has no idea of how he will run the country and has limited experience, just Oprah's female buddies endorsing him. Anyone But Hillary...... :lol:

all I meant was Leno, Stewart, Colbert, Conan are scabbing, Letterman actually reached an agreement with the writers union.

Huck cleaned up too, shocking!
One problem Hillary has is Bill, nobody is going to believe he'll get out of the way and let her do it her way.

Bill is the only name recognition she has.....and it 'ain't helping her one bit'. I am glad the Iowa democrats saw right through her. I hope the New Hampshire democrats are just as keen. I can imagine last night for big Bill with Hill on the road! He never spent so much time with his wife. Oil and water just do not mix. Watch her divorce him once her campaign HOPEFULLY fails. :lol:

Obama made the news over here with his victory in Iowa. Has he now won the Democratic vote for Iowa?
