to win the primary she should:
1. Re-evalue our Dollars Down so the jobs we lost to the Counry
will be back home .
2. Pemalty or have a higher tax to the manifacturers that send
their unfiness product to be asermble in other country then bring
them back home that is how our people lost their job.
3. Watch for the UNION because they are the one that make
our peple lost the job for asking more paise every four years.

"Quinnipiac's Peter Brown...explains why Clinton seems to be doing so well in Ohio (and, by implication, demographically similar Pennsylvania) after losing eight straight contests."
This is unbelievably disingenuous spin reporting of outdated polls. The Quinnipac polling in OH and PA took place between Feb. 6 (day after Super Tues) and Feb. 12 (day of Potomac Primaries)---so the polling conducted between 2/6 and 2/8 is based on zero Obama winning streak, based between 2/9 and 2/10 on 5 Obama wins on those 2 days (too early to have any effect), and between 2/11 and 2/12---the day before and the day OF the Potamac Primary which put Obama at 8-0. And you point to this poll as evidence that Clinton is holding OH/PA despite of "eight straight" loses? A pollster should obviously know better. A grade schooler could refute such a rediculous interpretation.

Gas is $3.00 a gallon where you live?
Hillary getting elected is going to change that?

Can someone please explain the "substance" and "experience" Hillary has besides being Bill's wife? Would she even be where she is today (Senator from New York and running second as Democratic presidential prospect) if she wasn't Bill's wife? I admit she is smart and an effective candidate, but what specifically has she succeeded or done on her own?
Carrying on that thought, with all of Bill's legacy and name recognition, she cannot even beat an "inexperienced" newcomer. What is a better indicator of how effective a candidate can be than running a national campaign and Barrack Obama has run circles around her campaign! She cannot win against Obama, she cannot win against McCain. Check out the national polling data on realclearpolitics.com.
She will not back out to help the party. It is all about Billary, not about people or party.
Finally, please be honest about 8 years of Bill and 8 years of Bush. You are are worse off than you were 16 years ago? Who ran congress most of that time? Keeping a balance of power ought to be a better goal and making sure we send people there who go to help our country and people--not perpetuate their own personal wealth and power. If you are waiting for a president to determine your success, then you really need to find a different country.
I leave with one last thought to consider.
Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton?
Doesn't sound like a democracy? Sounds like a monarchy. Thankfully, it looks like we are going to change this.
Go Obama!

Without insulting anyone's intelligence or research capabilities, don't most people realize that Obama has more years of elected public service than Clinton? He began serving in the Illinois senate in 1996. She began serving in the US senate in 2000. And he was no slouch before that.
I realize that she had some white house experience while Bill was president, but does this really qualify her to be president?

Why do people keep saying that Hillary is the one to beat John McCain? First of all, the polls are clear (www.realclearpolitics.com) that Obama would beat McCain by almost 4 points while Clinton would LOSE to McCain by almost 2 points. These polls are not singular or small polls - the numbers given are a composite of reputable polls.
In addition, even the Republicans say that going up against Hillary would serve to galvanize the GOP.
The evidence is clear - how can people ignore it?????????

The Republicans hate Hillary and will not work with her, whcih means more of the same old politics. Obama is not hated! Therefore, Republicans are more likely than not to work with him.

If Hillary Clinton wins the nomination the Democratic Party will -- for all intents and purposes -- become the party of the politicians who collaborated with the Bush Regime.

Hey Obamanadas - Wake Up! Quit following a cult leader and start thinking for yourself! A vote for Obama is a vote for McCain. Just look at Obama's record (or lack of) and he is doomed against McCain.

12 years of Bush's...12 years of Clinton's...and the country will be 50 years behind....(based on history, another 4 years of Clinton will lead to 2 more wars, 25 more scandals) Wake up people, I will take Obama or McCain over Clinton any day. BTW, experience does not include you being the first lady running around shaking hands with dignitaries and does not count the time you spent baking cakes!!!!
