1. the power of smear tactics
like the ohio health care flyer

scaring working adults who can't afford health care into thinking they'd have to buy it under hillary's plan

lies and trickery can sadly win elections in this country

8. no
those under certain income levels would get gov't credit to purchase it

that's the difference

everyone would buy it, but those needing gov't help would receive this

it's a crucial difference

allowing free riders does not work

huge ny times article about this a while back

young people, in particular, feel invinceable...and opt out....then use the ER for illnesses....

That's exactly why your candidate is losing, lies and trickery coming from her campaign.

7. Considering what I know about HRC
and company's tactics during this campaign, I think I will take change over gridlock, er I mean experience, any day.

10. Jeeezzz - maybe she needs another Message or Slogan?
I think maybe if she tries to "re-cast" herself again she can just turn this all around. ;)
