So where's Hillary? Is she working the campaign?

[Arm Chair Politician]

With all the Palin talk and misdirection by the DNC I wanted to change direction of our thoughts and conversation. Time is ticking and winding down to election day.

If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times; Hillary Clinton needs to get out and start campaigning for Obama just like if she was trying to win the election for herself. I want to see her on the campaign trail working hard for America like she said she would.

With the announcement of Sarah Palin, in my opinion Hillary is needed more than ever in this election cycle. In my opinion she should be out there working with Obama and taking away some of the press from Palin. I seriously hope Obama is preparing for this and waiting for the right opportunity to release his best weapon against Palin. Hillary can comment in ways the pundits and Obama/Biden can not about Palin. This is good, and needed, for our country and the party.

So...will Hillary's actions speak louder than her words? Will Hillary finally get to work and help take back America or will she sit back and watch the next two months unfold on TV and force Obama to fight on his own?

Oh...and before you attack me for my comments please allow me to note that at one time I was a Hillary supporter.

Your concern is noted. But I really don't think it's wise for Hillary to take Palin head on.

Actually I don't think it's wise to pay any attention to Palin at all. McCain should be the focus because, after all, the conventional wisdom is that no one votes based on the VP. Let's not give the Rethug base motivation to rally around Palin even more. Plus, I've come to the conclusion that if Hillary takes on Palin directly she will be accused by the "liberal" media of being jealous and wanting the "prize" all to herself.

3. I agree. I'm satisfied with Hillary's contributions and Palin is not her battle.

That's a trap.

I personally think the OP is stirring poo.

[Boz]

11. Yeah not her battle. Winnig in November not her battle, Got it.

In sulting her by taking her campaign and her successes, Yup not her battle.

[Raine]

14. I've come to that conclusion too

treat Palin like she is of little importance, a nonenity and go all out after McINSANE instead.

2. She's pissed and will be there

I am not a big Hillary fan,myself, but give her her due.

She helped make last week the smashing success it was. She'll be there for all of us.

Ruh Row. The GOP may not like a pissed off Hillary...Just saying

"Hillary to Step Up Campaigning for Obama"

Hillary Clinton's advisers tell the New York Times she will increase her campaigning for the Obama/Biden ticket. One reason: McCain's choice of Sarah Palin and Palin's co-opting of her campaign theme.

Mrs. Clinton’s friends said she was galled that Ms. Palin might try to capitalize on a movement that Mrs. Clinton, of New York, built among women in the primaries....Guy Cecil, the former political director of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, said it was “insulting” for Republicans to compare Ms. Palin to Mrs. Clinton.

Hillary's advisers have no problem making the inexperience argument against Palin:


Mr. Cecil said he believed that the McCain-Palin ticket might initially intrigue some Clinton supporters, but that they would ultimately choose Mr. Obama.

“It is insulting to compare Hillary’s lifetime of service and her commitment to progressive causes with that of a novice, right-wing governor,” Mr. Cecil said.

6. Give it a sec

Let the RNC throw their lame-ass party in St. Paul (poor St. Paul!!). Let them have their moment. Let them build confidence and hubris.

And then, let's bring it. Hillary will fight her ass off, she made it clear last Tuesday. And I can't wait!!!!!!

7. "Misdirection by the DNC"?

Thanks for your sage advice.

[Cha]

8. Yeah, what "misdirection by the DNC"??? Does the

OP mean "rnc"? 'Cause that mistake was made before.. a couple a days ago.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

9. Heh. I have no idea but I really wish...

there were an "UN"recommend button for many, many threads. I cannot even imagine what the mods have been going through, these past couple of days in particular.

13. It was a typo. I meant to say the RNC or republican party...

Its late and I didn't catch it when proof reading my own post. Simple mistake, nothing more.

12. She is waiting to see if Falin makes it through the RNC

She is pissed and will be golden for the next 2 months

I never backed Hillary for Pres but comparing Falin to HRC is a complete joke and HRC will show them why
