Is Hillary going to self destruct ???

Well said.

Let's stop playing the woman card. Particularly in light of the fact that Americans have shown an ability to look beyond race in this election, I think blaming her poor showing in Iowa and in some polls on her sex rings hollow.

Why don't we stop playing the race card while we're at it too. You claim to be so proud that people are looking beyond the fact that the man is half black, half white. Isn't it a given that is how it should be. The fact that you're so proud that people are looking past his race is strange to me. Big whoop. They should be. What is so outstanding about that? Where is the big change? To me, he is the status quo. What is so new about Obama? What is the change. He's a politician too. So what has he done for his state? What is so 'new' and different about him?

I think the thread was probably started because she was the front runner when this all started. Many people were ready to swear her in just a few months ago. I personally don't like her policies and she just gives me a bad feeling overall. Mitt Romney is starting to give me that same feeling at this point. They both seem like robots to me. I wouldn't say that this country isn't ready for a female president, just not this female. Bring on Margaret Thatcher and I'll vote for a female.

I started the thread in mid December right after her complete flip flop in the democratic debate when she contradicted herself regarding giving driver licenses to illegals in NY ( the Spitzer plan ). That moment showed quite effectively what Edwards was criticizing Clinton on. Her inability or reluctance, to answer a question directly. It was right after that debate that the big slide started. It has taken on more momentum and I believe she willl leave the race after she loses South Carolina. Today's emotional moment will accelerate her self destruction.

Goofer, I hear only a sound bite of her breakdown today. It sounded very sad, like she has given up. Do you think it was just good acting, or do you think that is the signal for real, that she is giving up?

It was like a Momma guilt trip..."You go ahead and trash your room and stay out late and get pregnant. I'm just trying to keep you from dying of a meth overdose because I LOVE you. If I didn't love you I wouldn't stay up all night and worry..."

Made me want to get pregnant and live in a trailer park. In Bermuda. Crocodile tears don't work with me.

Re: Crying

There's no crying in politics. That really was pathetic. Anyway even if she gets beaten in these first four states she still has a very good shot of winning the nomination. I hope Obama wins, but February 5th is really the big day and in the states with no independents allowed Hillary will probably do much better than she has in these early states. I still think it's 50-50 between the two.

I don't think it was neither a breakdown or pathetic. I think her being a little emotional was a sign of true caring and compassion for this country.

I think it was calculated, and I am not alone, and it is not the first time Hillary's truthiness has been questioned, hence her main problem.

 

[seacrestkristi]

So you think she faked her tears too? I don't. I'm not alone either.
