I think its so telling that Hillary wants us to BELIEVE she is "Ready On Day One" and YET she cannot even manage her CAMPAIGN without her husband Bill Clinton and now her daughter's HELP. If you look at Obama's Campaign vs. Hillary's Campaign side-by-side.... and inject their position to the WHITE HOUSE. The case gets stronger and STRONGER for OBAMA. Hillary cannot do it on her own. She cannot even manage a campaign with out using her sweet daughter. Tsk Tsk Tsk Hillary.

The ARM TWISTING has already begun with the super delegates - its their only life-line. Hillary reminds me of the character "Mommy Dearest" - beloved in public but vile and vindictive behind closed doors. Remember the "No Wire Hangers" Scene.... BEWARE Super Delegates the CLINTONS are coming.

I don't think it is wise to minimize the voters in the states Hillary is losing. Its a GROSS mistake to dismiss an entire state of voters. After all there are SEVERAL thousands voted FOR her. I thought her EXPERIENCE would outshine Obama in her handling of her campaign. It seems she has no real strategy other than to attack and since that hasn't worked. Seems she's resorted to Chelsea, Bill and now dismissing the voters in the states she lost.

As a voter who looked forward to comparing and contrasting her campaign against Obama and making an informed judgement in the voting booth. I MUST say Obama's campaign is coming across as having MORE INTEGRITY even when he is losing. He has never attacked you or dismissed the voters who didn't support him.

I am disappointed that Hillary's campaign is having such a hard time matching Obama campaign's attempt to compete ABOVE board. It seems she cannot compete on this level. Its very telling.... How dare she dismiss states as "black". If they had voted for her as she expected them to she would not be saying this.

So disappointed in her lack of integrity.

Uhhh…what is Clinton doing “concentrating” on states based solely on delegate numbers - how well did this strategy worked for Rudy Guilani???? It’s a recipe for disaster – Rudy’ Guliani’s strategy and Fred Thompson’s cavalier attitude paved the way for the McCain resurrection. And Clinton seems to employing a little of both of these failing strategies in the contest against Obama.

Dismissing states is NOT the way to go. It didn’t work for Rudy why does she think it will work for her. In her latest statements she is seen on the stump dismissing the states she does not win. It’s worthy to note how her rapport with African Americans is altered by the voting trends. Instead of trying to regain their trust - she dismisses states with African American voters who have leaned toward Obama dismissing his wins in South Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia because of the African American vote. Has Hillary forgotten African American’s used to be a BIG part of her base? African Americans have traditionally supported her and MANY still do. She should not forget African Americans are very loyal with long memories that will surface in November if she wins the nomination.

To generalize a state based on African American population bolsters the evidence that she a divisive AND polarizing candidate.

As CLINTON touts her experience “On Day One” she relentlessly declares that she will be more effective than Obama.

With “Day One” in the back of your mind contrast the Hillary Campaign vs. Hillary White House.

Points to ponder as we compare and contrast the CHANGE Obama has already been able to exact in the CLINTON campaign:

Hillary Campaign: With all her touting of experience preparing her for Commander In Chief - she under-estimated Obama as a formidable challenger.
Hillary White House: Will she under-estimate foreign leaders who pose a real - yet veiled - threat?
************************
Hillary Campaign: When things don’t go her way, she dismisses and ignores and moves on – resisting addressing her shortcomings with anything other than “spin”
Hillary White House: What if her 60-day troop pull-out plan in Iraq proves ineffective? Will she deny, dismiss and deflect when the American people call for answers and understanding?
************************
Hillary Campaign: Her winning campaign strategy has included aggressively deploying her husband and daughter Chelsea (who until now remained OUT of politics & public eye)
Hillary White House: Is she really ready – by her own strengths – on Day One?
************************
Hillary Campaign: The “inexperienced” Obama exacts a ground strategy that out maneuvers her in the battle for delegates – she has not been able to successfully reinvigorate her campaign. And to make matters worse, key strategists in her campaign resign.
Hillary White House: What if her programs and policies are ineffective? Will she doggedly stick to her plan and delay employing a winning strategy? Will that tactic lead to the resignations of her White House cabinet members?

As Arsenio Hall used to say, “Things that make you go, Hmmm….?”

Obama seems to be showing real leadership in shaking up the CLINTON machine – impressive from a newbie with “no record” of success.
