Why Hillary is loosing...in my humble opinion
She speaks about experience and being ready to lead, BUT her body language betrays her.

When the season started, her body language showed her inner confidence because she was focused on what she was going to do. But Barack has time and again managed to erode her support, he is clear about what he believes and why he believes it.

Now, she is uncomfortable with her policy positions and her explanations of her positions aren't satisfactory, all of this is eroding into her confidence and it shows in her body language.

She is making poor eye contact, is often seen nodding like a robot and her on stage performance is basically clap-clap point-point (as Colbert pointed out last week).

12. I agree with you.
This has to be a grinding experience for her. She has almost 15 years on Obama.
Frankly, I do not know how any of them do it.

2. She's losing because she spent $5 million on one staffer while Obama spent $20 million on hundreds.
It's truly, and I mean this from a purely political perspective, that simple.

Really. Obama did great with his campaign.

3. Couldn't have anything to do with over ten years and millions of

4. For The Original Poster


with all due respect to Hillary....


.....Explain the changes that Obama says he will bring to American and Americans......

.......So far I have yet to here him articulate what his change plan is....I wonder if Hill was to press him hard if his confidence would erode both vocally and physically.


Please by all means elaborate and Im not a Hillary supporter.

15. The best explanation I can give...
as to how I think Barack will effect change is that he will question our conscience and the foundation of our beliefs. Right now we are all busy being for or against any given issue.

What if someone came along and fundamentally questioned the very existence of an issue in its current form and shed light on how the issue needs a new look from a different perspective ?

Hillary & McCain keep saying they are ready to lead from Day 1, lead what ? Better leadership to continue doing what we are doing ?

Barack will change the course altogether, nations around the world will be heard and given a chance to co-operate for tangible benefits for themselves.

IMHO.

6. Yeah she does come across as fake
Has from the beginning though really. I'm kind of an asshole in real life. I'm also a salesman. She looks like me when I'm pretending to be a nice guy. I've recently gone into a type of sales where I get to be blunt and rude to my clients. It's working much better for me and I no longer look like a robot. They taught me that head nodding thing in car sales hah go figure.


Anyone wanna buy a 1994 DLC Convertible? It's pulls a little to the right but with a little triangulation she'll get you where you're goin' ;)

13. She had a bad habit of shaking her head "no"
Edited on Wed Feb-13-08 02:07 AM by janeaustin
while she was saying "yes, I will do this or that."

She's gotten it under control for the most part, but sometimes - maybe when she's tired - she falls back into it.

14. The experience argument is weak right now
Because people are sick of the same people in Washington. Which is why McCain will be trounced
