1. She couldn't be any worse than Reid the Chicken-hearted!
Why not?

16. why couldn't she be worse? actually, she would be.
a month ago, I was still hoping for Biden and Edwards to be the top two. Now that Obama, a senator from my state, is leading and moving even further ahead, faster and stronger, I will support him. Heck, back in 1995-6, the local weekly paper did a great profile in Obama, and I recall talking to others that this man had a great future. Maybe even the Mayor of Chicago.

The problem of Hillary taking over for Reid is simple: She would be worse than him.

Just think back to January. Out of money, in debt. Losing support. Having an out of control bill to -pay- deal with.
The (hidden) loan to self. So, in an act of calculated desperation, she opted for fool disclosure, and bragged about raising more than Obama in January. until the figures came in 2.5 - 1 against her.

Now, here is the bottom line. HOW DID SHE SPEND HER REMAINING, PRECIOUS DOLLARS? $4 Million on bloody consultants! That is not just stupid, that is delusional. If she does not know what her message is all about by now, she never will.

That one move says so much about Hillary as an administrator, a leader, a reality-based political head. She is NOT reality based.

22. Okay, you're right. I was thinking in terms of how bad he is and also
that she might get some courage since she won't have a Presidential race to lose...

But you're right, she really has proven herself to be incompetent in this campaign. Sad.

9. It's got nothing to do with hate, its got to do with I am sick of seeing her face and...

5. I would have enthusiastically said yes a month ago.
Now, no way in hell. I'm not even sure she'll be reelected in NY.

8. No thanks.
I would, however, like to see either Bernie Sanders or Russ Feingold as majority leader. :)

17. Feingold, Boxer or Dodd would be much better.
Sen. Clinton is not a leader.

25. Nah. She wouldn't be any better than the wimp we have now.
Dodd, Feingold, or Boxer, IMO.
