Hillary May To Obama, but it will be case of the Loss of the Best Team

Democrats are spoilt for choice in this election, 1st Black- 1st Woman candidates. Never been seen before. But if you look at the issues and arguments, Hillary comes up tops. She has produced the most detailed plan on economic recovery, uncontestable health plan, safe and responsible withdrawal of troops in Iraq, and better attitulation on environment and energy. Obama on the other hand has managed to pull crowds, especially the youth, raised unprecedented amounts of money over the internet, drums up the "hope and change" idea and argues he is electable against McCain. However, he still has to unpack his policies on the real bread and butter issues.At the moment he sounds like he reciting issues he read from someone's text. Now,lets choose. \Who's really electable here, "Solutions for America" or "Change you can believe in", the former sounds more like it. There are problems currently in America thanks to Bush administration, and what we need r solutions. Whether Hillary is part of the establishment or not,(arguably all the three candidates are afterall) the point is, she has been tried and tested against Republicans and she has tougher skin to stand against them. Vote Hillary

I see your point Pat, and as an Obama supporter, I'd like to give this rebuttal. What you're saying is that Hillary Clinton has a greater chance of winning because she's fought against the Republicans before and proven her mettle. However, I see two holes in this argument. First off, I'd like to point out there's a good reason that the Republicans lost so many seats the 06 senate elections. People simply got tired of Republicans and started voting Democrat again. Therefore, the Republican base that you claim only Clinton can fight against has been significantly weakened. Secondly, (and I know this sounds a bit naive) I like to think that even some Republicans are willing to face up to the problems we all face, and are willing to work with a Democratic president to work on such problems. After all, only the most extreme right-wing politicians deny that social security and and medicare are doing just fine. Besides, most Republicans already hate Clinton, so they'll resist essentially anything she does anyway. And on a final note, I would like to say that I think Obama bringing change and a new perspective to Washington is a good thing. After all, change can be a solution too...

They both scare the hell out of me. If our country heads in that direction, I'm taking a job outside the States after law school.

We will get the money to fund the Health care plan from the $3 trillion we are plunging in Iraq. Both Bush's governments have been irresponsible and it will take another Clinton to clearn up the mess.

After the money is spent in Iraq, it's not as though it will come back with the troops. The money is gone and was never included into the budget in the first place. As for her healthcare plan, Hillary puts far too much faith in the government and not enough faith in the people who actually use the healthcare. If people were forced to look at their health costs and manage it, as oposed to just putting down a co-pay and submitting a monthly bill, perhaps the situation could have been resolved much earlier.

Byah, how I wish you thought of your great ideas about the citizen's responsibility when it came to WAR. Health care is something that affects all people of the world, poor and rich, republicans and democrats. but who did the war favor? Bush, his oil alies, and arms manufacturer. Give it up, that family srewed us all up.

Democrats are spoiled! I look at the democrats and shake my head. Clinton is a monster and Obama has no expierence to speak of. He only helped write one bill and he's way too liberal. Thank god he's beating Clinton though. You say that she has the best economic recovery plan. You obviously know very little about economics because her rate freeze plan is aweful. If she freezes the mortgage rate than it's going to result in higher rates for other borrowers. This would only prolong the recession. Her health care plan is impossible. There are so many things wrong with it I dont know where to start. What is going to keep employers from dumping there heath care coverage and letting the government pick up the tab. Where is the money going to come from? We're over spending 1.5 billion per day. The only way her health care plan is possible is to borrow money from China. This is going to put us even further into debt. Oh and her troop withdrawl plan involves a timeline. A timeline is basicly going to tell the enemy when we are going to surrender. All Al Quadea has to do is stop fighting and wait for us to leave afer they issue a timeline. That is why it is so fiercly opposed by the Republicans.
