Clinton Escapes to Fight Another Day
By ADAM NAGOURNEY

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Hillary Rodham Clinton is back.

With solid support from registered Democrats and the backing of women, who deserted her in Iowa, Senator Clinton beat Senator Barack Obama of Illinois with a margin that — if not particularly wide — was enough for her campaign to claim a resounding victory.

The political intensity of her victory was magnified by a weekend of polls and rapturous packed rallies for Mr. Obama that suggested Mrs. Clinton was in dire shape, particularly after Mr. Obama’s drubbing of her in Iowa.

……..


In New Hampshire, more voters viewed her as qualified to be commander in chief than said Mr. Obama was ready for that role, suggesting that Mrs. Clinton’s argument that she was more experienced to lead might have had traction here.

Most strikingly for Mrs. Clinton, women in New Hampshire did what they did not do in Iowa: rally behind her. Women supported her by 47 percent to 34 percent, according to a survey of voters leaving the polls; women voters in Iowa had been evenly divided between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama.

1. Exactly what experience does H.C. have?

Experience in:

trade agreements which have NO environmental standards or worker standards (of course, how could she know what abuses this would lead to, it's not like anyone warned against such abuses ...)

voting for the worst foreign policy decision (the Iraq War) in the history of our country (of course, who would have known that Bush would actually go to war just b/c Congress authorized the war - as required by our constitution). This begs the question - two stupid or to willing to do anything to sit in the oval office?



the list could go on and on, but I would think that the first two alone should do it.
