Hillary on Hardball speaks very very true to herself

[dogindia]

She sounds very real.

5. No, he had Hillary Rodham Clinton on...

a DLC/Third Way Democrat.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Ditto dat.

He had the $$$Corporate$$$Media$$Approved$$$ Democrat Nominee for 2008 on.

We are to accept no substitutes, because she is the "front runner". :eyes:

2. I saw H.Clinton on Nightline the other day

she sounded like she had a pretty good grasp of things, even by my standards.

I still don't want her to run for Pres, but...she did sound good.

3. I was impressed. n/t

[Onlooker]

4. Hillary is great

She won't get my vote in the primary, but she certainly has a commanding style. I think people will be really surprised once they hear what she has to say. She's the best spoken politician around right now, and she's attractive, brilliant, and unafraid.

6. HC is a very strong and intelligent woman

but we need someone from another family to run. She makes a great senator.

7. I was very impressed with what she said and how

she sounded. She sounded sincere, show sincere admiration for the emergency personnel, talked about her own personal worries at the time as well as her great sense of responsibility for all in NYC.

8. She comes across very well in interviews - video link

I remember watching her on Letterman sometime ago, and she was funny, smart and likable. It is only when she gets on the stage to give a speech that she lacks the gift. Nevertheless, like I said, she does sound "real" in interviews. Part of it is probably because of her self-assurance, which she has much more than her husband, for example.

The videos of her appearance on hardball are her: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036697/

9. What did she have to say about Iraq?

Did she say it was an illegal war based on lies or even something remotely like that?
Did she consider her vote to bomb and invade Iraq a mistake?

Sounds snarky but really not. I did not see her or read a transcript.
I would love to hear some signs of humility on this issue otherwise
I have such a hard time trusting Hillary Clinton.

I consider the inability to say you made a mistake a big character flaw.

[durrrty libby]

10. She is extremely intelligent and a wonderful human being,

so what's the big surprise?

Shheesh...you been on another planet for the past 20 years?


:spank:

11. thanks for the post. I, for the most part, enjoy her talks/interviews.

[Old and In the Way]

12. The RW hates these unauthorized glimpses of HC and other popular

Democrats. There's an unspoken embargo on allow the opposition political broasdcast oxygen. It ruins the whole smear meme painting them as evil ogres/lunatics of liberalism (well, in her case, the moderate middle). 5 minutes of Hillary actually expressing herself negates 100s of hours of Republican spin. It's hard to keep character illusions intact when the smearee is able to communicate with the political audience.

13. She's a smart, strong woman.

and most certainly a Democrat contrary to what some say here at DU.

[abluelady]

14. Regardless of How I Feel About Her Politics

She is the most commanding presence I have ever seen in a politician. I wish she were more liberal and didn't have the baggage. :>(

15. Was Tweety Wanking?

Was Tweety wanking off when he asked if she was going to run for President? I swear, the thought of her running is about the only thing that makes him hard.
