12. "Smear"?
All I said is that Hillary has more substance when compared to Obama.

14. "End the Iraq War the Right Way"!
She said in New Hampshire...Inquiring minds would like to know what she means by "the right way"...
This to me is a definite lack of substance. Hillary seems to have vague, demagogic opinions about the Iraq fiasco.
I also hold against her the way she came out right after the attacks on 9/11/2001, and clamored "This is an act of war!" over and over again, without even explaining what she meant by that.
It wasn't an act of war, except for the people whose interest it was that it be called that.
Sorry, I don't trust her very much...

26. You're not the only one..
Right now she's fooling a lot of people with her vague opinions but hopefully when people really start paying attention they will she her for what she is and what she isn't.

4. Yes, but Hillary has more. She informs with her answers.
She gives information about the issues and then gives her opinion and then gives her action plan. The simplest voter can learn and understand.

22. Did she inform you why she voted
against a bill to protect civilians from cluster bombs?

Cause I'd like to know.

10. He has the common touch
He can talk about common issues, like parenting, without sounding like your mother in law.

20. I disagree, I think he is winning tonight. Usually I come out thinking Edwards won
but tonight Obama has been solid as a rock.
