They hurt themselves by attacking her, and that's become clear. People aren't stupid. They see Obama attacking her for not being clear when he's been receiving criticism for months that his own stand on the issues is too general and folks want more specifics from him. Edwards keep droning on about lobbyist money when he took money himself from attorney lobbyists - and he just pastes on that foolish grin when someone points it out as Chris Dodd did. The American people sense desperation very adroitly. I also think as you seem to think, that Americans had so much of the smear tactics from Republicans in the last Presidential election that Democrats running the same game, especially against each other, disgusts them. Clinton has run an almost perfect campaign, and this misstep of hers in the last debate was her first real mistake. She cleaned it up quite nicely in the week following, and she came out ahead once again. They're going to have to do a LOT better than this to hurt her, and I'm sure they know it. There's another Democratic debate in about a week, and it ought to be interesting, to say the least.
I'm with you - Go Hillary!

It makes me laugh when I hear some political pundit say Hillary won't get elected because of all the problems associated with Clinton's presidency....but yet, they don't mention what those problems were. What...an illicit affair & an attempt to cover it up? If Clinton was unable to cover that up, how could he have covered-up much worse? They conveniently gloss over all the REAL problems we are having NOW, with this administration. It's amazing to me how 30% of the people either don't see the hypocrisy or just refuse to admit it!

She's the frontrunner.....and so men won't just lose to each other....they are losing to a woman! For Shame!!
Frankly, I see Edwards, Obama, Rudiboy, and some of the others the victims of a new generation of Presidents, a new generation of Politics. Women. Time for them to get over it. Their negative politics makes them look worse, gives them the air of poor losers.
When honestly compared, open-mindedly, nothing can come close to what the Republicans have done over the last eight years. We are already in an Imperialist society, and, by the way, Socialism does not equate to Communism... another fallacy started by the Republicans.
Hillary and Hope in '08

And accumulating dirty cash for her campaign. Another scandal in the making. . .
It is not smear politics if the charges are true. We have known Mrs. Clinton now since 1992! And I think all America knows her a little too well to vote for her in November, 2008.
I would vote for Monica (the other Mrs. Clinton and real object of Bill's affections, if ya know what ah mean :-)) over Hillary anyday!!

Hillary is the front runner in all polls. So it's normal to attack her. Let them pass all their dirty remarks that's their best, but America has already spoken ...
Hillary Clinton in the White House in January 2009, she's the only one who could clean the mess of the republiCONS after 8 years of disaster and shame!

I know that's what they are fixing the polls to say. It has to be a lie.
If you think about it... Hillary got much of her money from big Corp.
Obama got his from actual people who support him.
Ask yourself how many votes does a corp get?
I just saw on the news about how Hillary was not going to let the friendship between her husband and Bush get in the way of what she stands for.
Why bother with the actual election?
It sounds to me like they already have her presidency in the bank.
Like I have said for quite some time..A vote for Hillary is a vote for Bush.

Hillary is a fake, self-serving, power-hungry elitist, with no real concern for the average American, only for herself and her friends.
She is bought off and paid for. No true conviction. No true persona. She is a fraud and most people know it.
If you want more of the same, vote for Hillary.
If you want change, vote for someone else.
If Democrats are dumb enough to nominate Hillary, the most polarizing figure in ALL of American politics, then they deserve the easy defeat the Republicans will give them in '08.

what's the smear??? that she cant answer simple questions on domestic policy?? or that she flip-flops?? Hillary will NOT be president. nothing gets Repubs more upset and and off the couch to vote than all this Hillary for prez crap... i HOPE she wins the party nomination... she's the most polarized candidate i've seen in a LONG time..
socialism doesn't equate Communism?? lol
socialism-
1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.
communism-
1. a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state.
2. (often initial capital letter) a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party.
they go hand in hand... and eerily close to what Hillary has in store for us if elected.

Hillary seems to be collecting money from everywhere.
That some of the everywheres maybe wouldn't pass honest review doesn't seem to bother her. Deja vu all over again.
