1. I put this with Edward's house is too big...

This is only a rumor.

[HereSince1628]

2. And her stick against them if they do is?

What? She won't give them special access to influence her when she is president?

Gee, there is a nice progressive step away from the politics as ususal.

[formercia]

3. Trading one dictator for another

I don't like deciders.

[Ninja Jordan]

4. Ninja Jordan to DU: Vote for Hillary at your peril

She is horrible for the Party.

[brentspeak]

5. Reading the link, there's no source that the Huffington Post can name...

...and the writer of the two paragraph blurb isn't even named.

It's embarrasing knowing there are people who would read that link, and comment on it as if it were an actual piece of journalism.

9. Hillary's been telling all her NY funders to only give to her...

Howard Finemann has been on Hardball and Matthews' Sunday morning show reporting that the Hillary's going around saying, "if you give to me don't give to anyone else".

Hillary's been labeled the front runner, if she's going around telling all her corporate friends to only give to her, how could anyone compete?

MONEY WARS. The struggle for the allegiance of big donors is on, especially between Hillary and Obama. There is a new generation of hedge-fund fat cats, and competition is fierce. Terry McAuliffe, the Hillary über-fund-raiser, jovial tell-all author ("What a Party!") and former party chair, makes it clear that he thinks it's a bad idea to give to more than one candidate—though, in fact, it's not all that uncommon. "They don't help themselves if they do," he says, "because they come off as not really being a supporter of anyone". In New York, the issue is moot: Hillary has the town more or less locked up; ditto for Obama in Chicago. Los Angeles, home of the never-quite-concluded deal, is another story. Some major figures (Steven Spielberg, David Geffen) agreed to host a fund-raiser for Obama; now, after some fast footwork by Hillary supporters, Spielberg is cohosting one for Hillary.

16. I'm with you on this one. I need a some documentation before I

get upset over this.

[iamahaingttta]

6. She won't have to worry about that with me...

...since I will never give her any money!

[jobycom]

7. Bullshit. What's she saying, "If you give someone else money, don't give me money?"

Begging is about sales, not about telling the people you are begging to what they can do with their money.

More swiftboating nonsense. Someone is either making this up, or deliberately misconstruing something they heard. Every politician tries to get donors and voters on their side exclusively, but none are in a position to make demands. This isn't even a good slander.

What next? "Hillary demanding voters vote for only one candidate!" THE HORROR!

Geeze, I'm going to wind up voting for her just because I'm so sick of all the swiftboating.

8. An anonymous Huffington Post based on an anonymous source.

How Fair and Balanced.

[Tellurian]

10. The Huffpost doesn't really have much to say..

I like the suit Hillary is wearing though.

Howard Fineman will find the edginess in any issue.
If he didn't, he'd have nothing to write about!

[wyldwolf]

11. well, that really is the issue Arianna has with Hillary Clinton

Clinton is smarter and a better dresser than she is.

[Tellurian]

12. Well, yes. The rule of physics apply here..

"you can't make a silk purse out of sow's ear." :shrug:

[catgirl]

18. Ariana is one smart lady (and a good dresser)

She's a straight and thoughtful speaker, unlike Hillary.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

13. Howard Fineman was quoting Terry McAuliffe,

Hillary choking off funds to other candidates is big news.

[flpoljunkie]

14. Obscene as announcement she would take no public money in either primary or general.

We will not have Hillary shoved down our throats! Remember what Molly Ivins wrote:

Not. Backing. Hillary.

Equivocation in Democratic party has gone on far too long --time for real leadership

AUSTIN, Texas — I'd like to make it clear to the people who run the Democratic Party that I will not support Hillary Clinton for president.
Enough. Enough triangulation, calculation and equivocation. Enough clever straddling, enough not offending anyone. This is not a Dick Morris election. Sen. Clinton is apparently incapable of taking a clear stand on the war in Iraq, and that alone is enough to disqualify her. Her failure to speak out on Terri Schiavo, not to mention that gross pandering on flag-burning, are just contemptible little dodges.
