This is a bad night
There are so many to choose from. Hillary Clinton is by far the worst of them. She is the most conservative, the most likely to be complicit in Republican crimes.

Let's hope she doesn't win the whole thing.

1. Obama is just as CONSERVATIVE...Edwards is no liberal either.

24. Edwards is at least paying lip service
That doesn't mean I trust him. But at least he's offering to fight. Anyone who can threaten the powers that be and still remain a viable candidate is taking a very bold stand in this day and age. And he's paying the price for it, in the way the networks are ignoring him.

I won't say it's a bad night. I'd rather say; it's quite a race.

18. She is the DLC candidate.
Richard Holbrooke is her foreign policy advisor. Isn't that enough evidence?

23. And what's the difference between Hillary and the GOP?
I don't see it.

She is not anti-war, she sold out health care to the pharmcos and insurers, she's pro-NAFTA, pro outsourcing, pro worker-exploitation.

12. Really it's not...155, 000+ people voted for Hillary and Obama
These are huge numbers and that's only with 74% of the votes counted...

No it's a good night because Democratic members (us) we are FINALLY getting united behind our candidates in record Numbers...

Ultimately when our candidate is chosen...are you going to be there for the fight? The fight for the Constitution? The fight for the very life of America as we know it? And a fight for the US to be the Shining Beacon to the world again?

What are you going to do?

Note: I am undeceided but I know what I must do.

22. Hillary and Obama are basically identical.
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 11:58 PM by Naturyl
Edwards is somewhat better, but not ideal.

This was a very bad night for the actual uncompromising, truth-telling progressives in the race, who were erased from existence by the corporate media and by the NH voters who were all too willing to go along with it and do as the TV says. And that means it was a bad night for all of us.
