Hillary Clinton Comes toJersey City
Hillary Clinton comes to Jersey City next week!
Who: Senator Hillary Clinton
When: Monday, July 30th at 5PM
Where: Newport Town Square (located in front of
South City Grill in Newport)
I met the Clintons and knew Chelsea while at school with her, as I lived in her freshman dorm. She was a great person surrounded by not great women in my estimation.
My thoughts on her mother are that she is strong, ambitious, calculating, and professional.
Many want to skew these as negatives, but they would describe almost every single politician. I find it duplicitous to somehow make these traits an issue in her case because she is a woman.
Yes, she is probably the establishment candidate. And yes, voting for the lesser of two evils is terrible.
But kids, Kucinich ain't winning. I'm sorry, he's just not going to, as much as I like him. Obama or Clinton: I almost don't care. All I want is a candidate that will win, and undo some of BushCo's terrible deeds.
So, come listen to her speak and try to have an open mind. I doubt you'll hear much that will turn you off. She's very intelligent, and wants to reform Health care and get us out if Iraq. Those two things alone make her a good candidate in my mind.

Right on to the positive Hillary comments, she definitely gets a lot of hate for being an ambitious woman. I think it would great for the country to have a female president, and she would definitely be better than Bush. In fact, some of the Republicans would probably be better than Bush.
What about Edwards? Don't forget, Howard Dean was the widely presumed Democratic nominee from the summer of 2003 until the first primary in 2004. And Gephardt was at the top of the Iowa polls until days before the caucus.
The lesser evil strategy is what got Bush elected in 2004, and it is a strategy that is destined for failure. Congressional approval ratings are currently at historical lows because the Dems aren't standing for anything, they're just saying that George Bush and the Republicans are worse. If the Dems don't significantly differentiate themselves before the election, we're going to end up with a president who is either Republican or effectively Republican.
how long is she goin to be there for?
i'm more of an obama supporter, but i do wonder if Hillary will win the election... not so much because she is a woman but because the polls favor the republicans when they are pitted against her.
