Hillary Campaign suggests she's inevitable again.
Clinton Campaign Statement on GOP Debate

“Senator Clinton looks forward to debating the eventual Republican nominee, making her case for bringing the troops home quickly and responsibly and detailing her solutions for jumpstarting the economy and reversing the Bush policies.”

1. They all do this sort of stuff.
Even also-rans typically talk about "when" they're president or nominee rather than "if" they become president or nominee. It's a rhetorical device that goes back at LEAST to Reagan's 1980 campaign. It's a molehill, don't make it a mountain.

5. I think it goes back at least to Andrew Jackson
and maybe to Pericles.

2. She was front and center in the GOP debate last night..
good for her for hitting back effectively.I imagine if Obama had been on the receiving end,the message would have been similar.

3. Well, on this comment,
So what?

I remember Obama stating that he looked forward to hearing advice from Hillary Clinton too.

I think that we have become hypersensitive if we get excited about such comments.

4. When she debates the Republican nominee in 2009 at the Poughkeepsie Rotary Club...
...and talks about how they both lost their races in 2008, it should be amusing.

:rofl:

9. From Obama's website:
"So when I'm President, I will set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year. "

http://www.barackobama.com/2007/12/05/remarks_of_senator_barack_obam_36.php



From John Edwards' website:

"When I'm president I'm going to say to members of Congress and members of my administration, including my cabinet: I'm glad that you have health care coverage and your family has health care coverage. But if you don't pass universal health care by July of 2009 – in six months – I'm going to use my power as president to take your health care away from you.

13. More Double standards by the Obama supporters
When Clinton says it, they cannot vote for her because she says she is inevitable.

When Obama says it, and he does alot these days, it is different...and acceptable.
