Why didn't Hillary spring the trap when she had him
This is a quote from Senator Obama, answering criticism from Hillary concerning leaving out citizens (comrads, sorry) in the health insurance plan: Obama said: "I have no problem, Hillary, with you pointing out areas where you think we have differences. But on health care, for example, the reason that I mandate for children is because children do not have a choice. Adults do, and it's my belief that they will choose to have health care if it is affordable. Now, that's a perfectly legitimate policy difference for us to have. That is different from saying that I will refuse to cover or leave out a bunch of individuals."
In her response, Hillary should have looked into the camera, smiled, and said, 'Why Senator, you sound just like George Bush."
Probably because Obama would be the first to tell you that he is not against everything Republican and that is of course what makes him different from Clinton.
The way for her to beat Obama is to make him into an inexperienced, closet Republican. You have to keep in mind that the candidates are preaching to their choir, and there is no room in the Democrat Party for anyone on the right.
Yeah, his ‘coalition of independents and republicans’ might jump-up and bite him before it’s over. But that ugly frozen smile of Clinton is doing its damage I believe. It’s a wonder no one has told her how phony it looks.
Why? Evita's temper got the best of her. You left out the part where Edwards jumped in after Obama and criticized her as the "status quo" several times instead of an "agent of change" like he and Obama. I guess she didn't see the irony in speaking of "35 years of change" after being called part of the status quo.
I wrote this over the weekend on my post mortum discussion
Somewhere soon Hillary will use the line that Mondale used on Gary Hart ....."where's the beef?" Obama's whole campaign will derail at that point because he can't give a single answer where he represents any real change from the Democrat play book. I read his last book and besides complaining about partisanship there was nothing new. It could've been written by any of the other Democrat candidates.

I heard her use it on the radio this morning.
tom, I did not realize you were such a prophet. I heard her use that on the way to work this morning. I think the facade Hillary donned for this campaign is wearing off, she's having a hard time keeping up appearances. That doesn't stop her from trying though, I just heard she was "in tears" this morning as as she mourned for America.
Quote:
"I have had so many opportunities from this country, I just don't want us to fall back," Clinton said, as her voice dissolved into a whisper.
Day one will be reserved for returning the White House dinnerware .
Wasn't trying to be a prophet but it was such a painfully obvious strategy that I'm suprised she did not spring it during one of the many debates . That comment killed the Hart campaign in it's tracks.
That issue became a very interesting exchange between Romney and Thompson Saturday .
Quote:
Romney did not help himself at one point, giving his opponents fodder to criticize him over the health care plan he signed into law as governor; it required residents to get health insurance. "I like mandates. The mandates work," Romney said. Thompson did a double-take: "I beg your pardon? I didn't know you were going to admit that. You like mandates."
