Senator Hillary Clinton picked up a huge endorsement today from the NY Times in her bid for the Democratic Nomination for President. The editorial comes out tomorrow, below is an excerpt:
Hearing her talk about the presidency, her policies and answers for America's big problems, we are hugely impressed by the depth of her knowledge, by the force of her intellect and by the breadth of, yes, her experience," the newspaper said.

During her years in the Senate, Clinton has immersed herself in national security issues and has won the respect of world leaders and many in the American military, the newspaper said, adding that she would be a strong commander in chief.

A liberal democrat from New York gets endorsed by the NYT. Big fat hairy deal.
They also endorsed McCain. They're playing it safe. I guess 12:27 thinks McCain is a liberal democrat too. What are you a Huckaboob? A Romniac? You'd think with 70% of america against the war, McCain wouldn't stand a chance.
I am a Democrat, and I pray that we win the Presidential election, but I am worried we won't. Unless something dramatically changes, either Hillary or Oback will be the candidate. Now, I can support either one (although I like John Edwards the best, his chances are slimmer and slimmer.) My worry, how are you going to get someone in the "Red" south to vote for either a woman or an African-American. I don't care about the qualifications or the experience. Many of these voters are still fighting the Civil War. The media, and many politically correct people refuse to admit that. When Lyndon Johnson supported the Civil Rights Act in 1964, the solid Democratic south became red Republican, and with the exception of Carter and Clinton (two southerners) the Democrats can't get an electoral vote in the south. Many people will tell you about the scandals of Hillary, with Whitewater and Travelgate (and I don't know enough about them to defend or agree) but these same people ignore the lies, (what was it, 935) to "sell" the Iraq war, the Blackwater debacle (you don't think Dick Cheney has any Blackwater stock, do you?)the Valerie Flame outing (I just finished her book), which was treason. One does wonder why Hillary is so hated by so many. They would never admit it, but you know that her gender still enrages many. Despite our hope that this is the 21st century, there are still too many who feel an ambitious woman is a bitch, no questions asked. Apparently they can't tolerate a bitch in the White House. Now a moron, that's all right. They voted him in twice. I'm glad I'm 50 years old, because in 20 or so years, with our mentality and greed, I wouldn't want to be alive.
Who cares. Newspaper endorsements are useless. Why would I care who any newspaper endorsed. It is meaningless.
Sorry, I told you I was 50. The name is Valerie Plame (Wilson) not Flame. My mistake.
Hillary is our best chance. Edwards is our second. Obama will get burned with his skeletons. I think we're ready for a smart woman president. 50 is still young these days,you could still be around in another fifty. The south is getting hammered by this republican economy,it's their wallets that will make them swallow their prejudice and vote for a woman. Besides their wives and mothers will beat them silly if they don't. These anti-feminists are momma's boys. They make Hillary look like a sherman tank.
Why would anyone vote for the Clintons after the disgrace at the end of his last term. If she was running on her record without him I would probably be with her. The problem is she is not. Her husband is out front constantly touting her as if we should forget the embarassment he was. She would be a lot better off if she left him home. He is dragging her down. Affairs in the oval office and sleepovers in the Lincoln bedroom are not something I am looking forward to and I would hope the rest of democrats aren't either. She is going to have a very tough time in the general election because of that and I think we should recognize that now. Her baggage is very heavy. Much heavier than Obama's.
7:22-What disgrace? The disgrace was the impeachment proceedings against Bill for an affair. The Clintons are completely free of baggage. Bill left office with an approval rating of 65% and still is the most highly regarded president in history. You're a complete moron. You think the Lincoln bedroom is just for Saudi princes named Bin Laden? Only an idiot would say that the Clinton presidency was a bad one. You must not have been more than a little kid if that's what you remember. Read a history book and wake up.
Bill Clinton was our best President in recent memory, despite the Oval Office BJ.
His wife would be a disaster.
Anyone who tries to equate one with the other is being led by some warped sense of blind loyalty.
Choose the best candidate, not the best surname.
The NYT cites her "breadth of...experience..."
Huh?
What does she have, 2 more or 4 more years than Obama in the Senate?
Before that, her only "experience" was having teas for world leaders as First Lady.
9;21-You're obviously a little kid. Look up a thing called the impeachment of Nixon. She worked on that and the impeachment of Bill was payback. She's a lot older than you realize.
- "9;21-You're obviously a little kid. Look up a thing called the impeachment of Nixon. She worked on that and the impeachment of Bill was payback. She's a lot older than you realize."
1974 was her first year out of law school. One would have to imagine that her "work" on the impeachment couldn't have been much more than carrying someone's briefcase. You give her way too much credit.
10:02- So in your first year it's "sipping tea" and not working? What was Obama doing in his first year? Rezko ring a bell? And 34 years of working in the political arena isn't experience?
NO SCRUPLES!
She PLEDGED with the other candidates to honor the National Democratic Committee's decision of blocking Florida, and not to campaign there. Well, there she is, CAMPAIGNING in Florida!
The RULZ just don't apply to her.
9:09 -She's not campaigning there but Obama is. Stop spewing lies to cover for your man's cheating. It's been widely reported in the media.
- "She's not campaigning there but Obama is. Stop spewing lies..."
She went there...he didn't...
Dozens of different people come to this blog to (legitimately) criticize Hillary...and the same pendantic, pompous ass comes back over and over again, critcizing spelling and crying "lies," with no semblance to reality in his responses.
Unfortunately, you suffer from that common republican disease, "if-I-say-it-then-it-must-be-so." Keep repeating the same nonsense long enough, and people think it's the truth.
Are you on the payroll or what? If so, Hillary's wasting her money on a dope like you...Ulster County is going to Obama.

I see the McCain camp now has computer generated carbon copy responses to support Obama. How pathetic!
