Hillary Clinton At The DNC This Is Barack Obama's Convention

huffingtonpost.com — The New York senator was quick to put Republican John McCain in her sights, saying the de facto GOP nominee was running ads using her words to try to divide the Democrats. Clinton's response: "I'm Hillary Clinton, and I do not approve that message."

    • Treoinmypocket, on 08/26/2008, -0/+6You won't - they point out repeatedly how conservatives don't like him.
      • senatorpjt, on 08/26/2008, -0/+8yeah, but all the real conservatives gave up a long time ago.
      • Spuy767, on 08/26/2008, -4/+5Republicans don't like him because he's more moderate than most of them, and he's rather close to a true conservative.
  • neognostic, on 08/25/2008, -11/+20Good for you Hilary!
  • schuylercolfax, on 08/25/2008, -6/+19I really hope she means it
    • Puffles, on 08/26/2008, -3/+9She's just saying that so she has a better chance of winning the '12 election.
    • Spuy767, on 08/26/2008, -3/+5Pfft. If Obama wasn't the nominee, the Digg crowd be clinging to Hillary just like you are Obama. He's not a bad candidate, or a bad person, but he is a politician, he's not above the fray, as much as he pretends to be.
    • stagmire, on 08/26/2008, -1/+2"If Obama wasn't the nominee, the Digg crowd be clinging to Hillary"

      Testament to how ***** a candidate McCain is.
      • stix213, on 08/26/2008, -1/+1or how blind voters are for Obama
      • stagmire, on 08/26/2008, -0/+1Why couldn't republicans nominate a non-ancient candidate with a functioning brain like Romney? I would have easily voted for Romney over Hitlery. Instead you ***** nominated a drooling idiot who greatest claim to fame is getting shot down over Nam. You could have had a nominee who graduated at the top of his class at Harvard law AND business schools, and who has a sterling reputation as a wall street businessman, but you had to ruin it because your party is full of religious bigots who don't like the fact that Mitt Romney wears funny underwear.
    • pweegar, on 08/26/2008, -1/+0It's just the HiollBITCH being the HILLBITCH. Changes her words and attitude to fit her the best. Rot in hell you ***** whore.

PUMAs, ask yourself how much better off you are now, than 8 years ago, and then think of this tactic when you are promoting your cause. Don't turn Hillary into the Ralph Nader of the 2008 election.
    • senatorpjt, on 08/26/2008, -1/+5Oh, they most definitely will if McCain nominates a female VP, maybe Elizabeth Dole or Sarah Palin. If he does, he'll probably win the election.
      • akchrs, on 08/26/2008, -5/+5Probably? He locked it up when Obama chose Biden.
      • growler1, on 08/26/2008, -1/+3Elizabeth Dole is my state senator. All partisanship aside, she has gotten very, very little done. She'd be a poor choice for anyone, and I'm hoping against hope that she's defeated in re-election this year.
      • blatantninja, on 08/26/2008, -0/+4Hillary Clinton is the senator for the state I live in. She hasn't gotten ***** done either. Didn't stop her from almost winning the Democratic nomination.
      • stagmire, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2Elizabeth Dole is struggling to mantain her seat in North Carolina: http://projects.newsobserver.com/under_the_dome/po ...

      • akphidelt, on 08/27/2008, -0/+0Sarah Palin is a milf
    • stagmire, on 08/26/2008, -1/+4lol @ "Elizabeth Dole"
    • Elranzer, on 08/26/2008, -0/+4Divide and Conquer indeed...

      1992: Along with a general disapproval of George H.W. Bush, Conservative independent Ross Perot "steals" enough votes to win Bill Clinton the election.

      1996: Republicans got nothing on Bill Clinton, lose by a landslide. Republicans later stir up "morality" as a red herring by embarrassing Clinton over a blow job.

      2000: Republicans donated to Ralph Nader's campaign. Made sure no conservative independent candidates were well known. Used the public's stirred up disapproval of Bill Clinton's blow job with "holier-than-thou" politics to give George W Bush an edge, along with stolen votes from Florida. Republicans gain control of all three branches of American government, and the world enters the second Dark Age.

      2004: Republicans donated to Ralph Nader's campaign. Made sure no conservative independent candidates were well known. Embarrassed Howard Dean enough to drop out, leaving John Kerry, the only Democrat who could lose to Bush, up for the nod.

      2006: Republicans' "morality" campaign backfires when loads of Republicans are caught in homosexual and pedophile sex scandals; lose Congress to Democrats.

      2008: Republicans encourage Hillary to keep on going. Did everything they could to make Ron Paul disappear. Are afraid of Bob Barr's campaign. Were so divided amongst each other that somehow, John McCain (hated amongst most Republicans), actually got the nod.

      November, 2008: Karma is a bitch.
      • stix213, on 08/26/2008, -1/+1"1996: Republicans got nothing on Bill Clinton, lose by a landslide. Republicans later stir up "morality" as a red herring by embarrassing Clinton over a blow job."

        When you use spin like this you come off like a moron or a liar. No one gives a crap about Bill Clinton getting his dick sucked. No one then, and no one now. The issue always was that he committed a crime by lying under oath.

        Leaving that out and mischaracterizing the controversy... I'm just trying to figure out if you are doing that because you just want to lie to trick people into getting on your side? Or, are you actually that ignorant of history? Either way it doesn't speak well of you.

      • Elranzer, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1Yeah he lied under oath... about a blow job. The truth is, they had no right to ask him about it in the first place.

        And you would have lied, too.
    • DiggDuggDunn, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1I'm better off now than 8 years ago, and it has nothing to do with George Bush. I'm better off than I was 16 years ago, and it had nothing to do with Bill Clinton. I expect to be doing better in 8 years from now, and it will have nothing to do with John McCain (or even BHO).

      How 'bout ya learn to do sumpin' that's marketable? How 'bout ya get good at it? How 'bout ya promote yourself, prove yourself, and be successful?

      Do you really think that anybody in Washington gives a rat's ass about you?

      If you want change, change yourself!!!!

    Thanks for clearing that up Sherlock.
  • nutniqs, on 08/26/2008, -3/+6Its pathetic how juvenile politicians are. They still play schoolyard games, and make up *****. No where else are words that are supposed to have to so much gravity become voluble and meaningless than in the political arena.
    • vision777, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2Our political system is becoming a joke the way politicians look at poll results then base what they are going to support on those results. They treat us like we are stupid. Our system needs to be retooled especially eliminating the silly commercials.

      I support this idea!
  • gorospe, on 08/26/2008, -4/+2Some sort of quotations or maybe a colon would have really helped with the clarity of your headline.
  • 13373h4X0r, on 08/26/2008, -7/+18Yay! Let's go Obama and Biden! Put brains in the White House!
    • AgainstObama, on 08/26/2008, -4/+10Then you better find another set of candidates.
      • 355CJ, on 08/26/2008, -4/+7Yay! Joe Biden will help the Change We Can Believe In after 36 years in Washington!

        Obama couldn't have picked a candidate who would have made him appear more of a flip-flopper.

        How did that Supporters Knowing First text message go?

        Oh, wait,wait, wait. This will get buried unless I can salvage it.

        Hmmm...

        I got it!

        Cheney is evil!!
      • growler1, on 08/26/2008, -0/+4Like McCain and a Robot Richard Simmons?

        Gimme a effing break.
    • limerope, on 08/26/2008, -1/+3Why would we want brains in the whitehouse? Currently the place is safe from zombie attack. Where are your priorities?!
    • jayzDigga, on 08/26/2008, -4/+2Obama will need lot's of brains in the white house. It's the only thing that his zombie supporters eat.

      Now the beverage of choice, we all know is Kool-Aid.
  • brstilson, on 08/26/2008, -5/+14No one can really be surprised that the Republicans are using the deep divide in the Democratic Party against them. Some hefty criticisms were thrown both ways between Clinton and Obama, and it was said before that it seemed like Clinton was campaigning for John McCain at times.

  • rodael, on 08/26/2008, -5/+10Once they focus on what a McCain administration would do in Education, Health care, and Iraq then Democrats (and some independents) will back Obama-Biden.
    • SouthsideIrish, on 08/26/2008, -4/+4Right...spend money we don't have. You thing the economy is in the crapper now. Just wait and see what will happen. Hopefully we will see just a little stagflation to go with it, so Obama ends up having to deal with what Jimmy did. Two nice guys in the WH doomed to failure.

      Sorry, no change here, just more spending and pushing the economy ever deeper in debt. Oh, and I am not for McSame either. Both are bad choices for the economy.
      • vision777, on 08/26/2008, -0/+3Stop sending billions to Iraq will definitely help our economy. We rebuild their country when most of them hate us.
      • SouthsideIrish, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1Yes, but even if you stop spending money in Iraq, there still won't be any money for social programs. And, do you think they will stop spending money in Iraq. LoL! Biden was one of the ringleaders of Clinton's attack on Serbia, and he is in bed with the Georgian leader, so, just more of the same for the next for years. Ya, Obama, the president of change.
    • akchrs, on 08/26/2008, -4/+1LOL. No they won't.
  • morepowerr, on 08/26/2008, -10/+2Lent her sue him for misrepresentation. Maybe then he will now what America class ready like. After he has lost his ass and has to work 4 jobs to get by.

    They call it the American dream for a reason! you have to be asleep to believe it.
  • the6thReplicant, on 08/26/2008, -10/+4Why aren't the right wing nut jobs talking about how wrong they were about this race.

    First, Al Gore only made his GW documentary to become President. FAIL
    Then, Hillary was going to be the Democrats nomination because all the media loved her. FAIL
    Then, she was going to be the VP of Obama. FAIL
    The she was doing all this back room dealings to swipe the nomination from Obama. FAIL
  • Treoinmypocket, on 08/26/2008, -10/+9LOL - HuffPo and the rest can heap all the flowers and perfume on this they want but the fact remains that the DNC has a real problem.

    I love this "we're going to call for Hillary and begin a roll-call count then Hillary will stop it and call for Obama's nomination by acclimation."(and yes that is a paraphrase of what's being said not an actual direct quote.)
    -so.....the SuperDelegates disenfranchise the voters first....then the DNC will disenfranchise the delegates right in the MIDDLE of a vote.

    BRILLIANT.

  • mynamegoeshere, on 08/26/2008, -4/+2Hillary needs to get in line so she can keep getting her democratic support checks she is not crazy.
  • nullcodes, on 08/26/2008, -12/+8The democrats are horrible strategists. The party always takes an elitist approach.

    All McCain has to do is choose Bobby Jindal or Sarah Palin as his running mate and he's assured victory even if he shuts down all campaigning the next day.
    • treehugger87, on 08/26/2008, -2/+4Actually, the republican strategy is to "shut down campaigning." It doesn't matter what McCain does. The race is Barack Obama vs. Barack H. Obama.
    • stagmire, on 08/26/2008, -1/+2Chances of McCain picking Jindal: 0.000000001% Mainstream republicans will never vote for an ooky brown-skinned guy named "Piyush."
  • majortom1981, on 08/26/2008, -5/+7I will get dugg down for this but the democrats have no one to blame but themselves. They put themselves into thios mess and Mcain would have been dumb not to take advantage of it.

    Obamas camp is in a pretty nasty mess and cant help themselves without making hillary part of his cabinet or vp .

    So go ahead and digg me down but obama did it to himself.
    • senatorpjt, on 08/26/2008, -0/+10No, Hillary did this. You could have had the same thing on the Republican side if the other candidates kept pushing their candidacies after it became completely obvious they weren't going to win.

      Of course, in that vein you could compare it to Ron Paul, the difference being that he didn't have a sufficient number of supporters to cause this sort of destabilization. If he had even gotten say, 20% of the delegates to the convention it would be a total disaster.
    • sindex, on 08/26/2008, -0/+10I'll digg you down because you asked me to, but your logic is also wrong. Clinton did this by running a divisive, negative campaign, sowing resentment in her own party, and by staying in the fight way too long.
    • majortom1981, on 08/26/2008, -3/+0Why blame her? Obviously obama feels the same way by having bidden as his vp. Remember bidden bashed obama and by doing that he got the vp nod.
      • stagmire, on 08/26/2008, -0/+3" bidden bashed obama and by doing that he got the vp nod"

        Explain.
      • sindex, on 08/26/2008, -0/+3I assume you mean his comment that Obama popular because he's the first well-spoken, clean-cut black man to run for President? While certainly a comment shot from the hip, and while it was and will be dissected over and over again, I don't think it really counts as "bashing."

        He, in fact, kind of was doing what Rush Limbaugh said no one would do - call him out and make him prove his worth, rather than riding a wave of publicity based on no one wanting to mention him being black.

        I happen to believe he's shown himself to be a positive role-model (for a politician), a world-class orator (by anyone's standards), and a completely gutless suit by flip-flopping on issues and refusing to fight for our 4th Amendment rights (among others). I'm wary of his 2nd Amendment stance as well, because it's more like a shuffle than a stance. Nonetheless, between McCain and Obama, I trust Obama more.

        I'll still not be voting for either of them.
      • stagmire, on 08/26/2008, -0/+1"refusing to fight for our 4th Amendment rights "

        What 4th Amendment right did he "refuse to fight for," Justice Brennan?
  • cathpah, on 08/26/2008, -3/+2wow...that title could've really used some ***** punctuation.
  • btschul, on 08/26/2008, -8/+6I didn't even read the article. I just saw it was from the Huffington Joke and buried it as inaccurate.
  • Enzo33, on 08/26/2008, -6/+2Of course she is behind the campaign for Obama -she knows he is a lock to get trampled since the Biden pick.....she's already mapping her plans for '12...and as long as Obama tries to play cutesy with the American people she is all but sure to know this...

    Now DIGG ME!!
  • jbmcb, on 08/26/2008, -1/+3Hillary is sooo in favor of Senator Obama that she has graciously bowed out of the campaign. Oh wait, she didn't - she "suspended" her campaign. Why is she waiting until the last minute to give up?
  • JimmySpaza, on 08/26/2008, -3/+4Why would I want to vote Democrat this year when there is so much divisiveness and infighting at their convention? If they cannot get their act together for a convention, how could they ever be unified when it comes to leading the country?
    • akchrs, on 08/26/2008, -1/+5Brilliant observation.
    • treehugger87, on 08/26/2008, -2/+4Given your comment history I can't imagine ANYTHING that would make you 'want to vote Democrat this year' or any other year for that matter.
      • JimmySpaza, on 08/26/2008, -2/+2I'd rather vote for an honest Democrat than a lying Republican. And it's not Democrat candidates that I always have a problem with; it's the extremist leftwing leadership within the Dem party.

        Alas, you can see my dilemma about voting for the lesser of two evils and why I vote third party whenever I can.
  • jayzDigga, on 08/26/2008, -2/+1Yawwwwwn. Lip service is so lame.
  • RockSlice, on 08/26/2008, -2/+2Oh, she likes Obama now? What about all those ads she approved during her campaign saying that Obama wasn't a good choice for x/y/z reasons?

  • incredibilistic, on 08/26/2008, -2/+4FROM THE ARTICLE:
    "I don't care what she says," said Mary Boergers, a Maryland delegate who wants to cast a vote for Clinton.

    Unbelievable. They have this die-hard admiration for Hillary that they're willing to cast their vote for her because they believe and respect her so much. But the moment she asks them to do something, seemingly something they don't want to do, they don't care what she says. Would this work the same if she were president? They'll vote for her and campaign for her but don't want to listen to her? That's disrespect to me. And if Obama loses the election because a large group of her supporters don't back Obama because SHE SAID SO the Republicans will eat her alive come 2012 when she will (most likely) run again.

    I understand the passion of the Clinton supporters but I can't understand why they would choose to disrespect "their" candidate. If the shoe was on the other foot I'm sure the Clinton supporters would want the Obama people to support Hillary and not break up the party. This is why the Clinton supporters are demonized because they don't seem like rational people. It's as though Obama is like an alien who stands against everything Hillary stands for. No one seems to remember the primaries and how both Obama and Hillary could only seem to attack each other's character because they were so close, if not in 100% agreement, on most every issue from the economy to heath care to the war. While their road map to getting there may have a few different exits and service streets, they both share the same views.

    The only thing left for die-hard Clinton voters is that they MUST be racist and just can't think of the idea of a Black man in office. I'd bet a million dollars that of all the die-hard Clinton supporters that say they won't vote for Obama, I'd bet that NONE of them are Black. I hate to play the race card but there doesn't seem to be anything else left to look at. Hillary was more popular in rural areas. Even if they are a few Blacks in those areas there's most certainly more Whites. If someone can point me to a die-hard Hillary supporter that has a legitimate argument about why they're not voting for Obama that doesn't deal with Rev. Wright or other controversial "friends" Obama has then maybe I'll shred the race card. Otherwise, Democrats who refuse to vote for Obama are racist. Plain and simple.
    • Midtowner, on 08/26/2008, -2/+1They must be racist???

      Out of all the possible reasons for them to not want to vote for Obama, it has to be racism?

      Dugg down for attempting to maintain an unsupportable conclusion.
  • BotchaMcCoola, on 08/26/2008, -1/+2If Obama 1 loses, 2 wins and does badly his first term, or 3 does very well both terms, then Hillary has a good chance the next time. She had better stay friendly and score some points in the Senate meantime.
    • queenbee93, on 08/26/2008, -0/+1Wrong. If Obama loses, HRC will get the blame for dividing the Democrats. If/When she tries to run in 2012, the Obama Dems and Independents will remember the betrayal and may decide to give some payback. This little scorched earth gambit may hurt Obama, but in the end it will hurt HRC just as much. In the meantime, if Obama loses--the country goes to pot and we can blame the idiocy of the neo cons and the stubborn and graceless attitudes of the HRC crowd..
  • bigcynic, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2Bill and Hillary would be the perfect attack dogs for Obama. Bill already is an attack dog; all the Dems have to do is let him smell a piece of McCain's clothing.
  • RockinRuby, on 08/26/2008, -1/+0Let's not forget that McCain and Obama are not the only two Presidential candidates....Barr's numbers are, in fact, rising in the polls proving that many Americans are looking for an alternative to McBama.

    - Tomorrow night, Bob Barr will appear for his second time on the Colbert Report.

    - On both Wednesday and Friday mornings, Bob will be appearing on CNN.

    - And on Thursday, Glenn Beck will be taping another full hour with our candidate!


    In addition to the unexpected media, we had another boost this past Friday when we learned that we’re actually climbing in the polls!

    Right now, things are looking good for our campaign, but if we’re able to get into the debates, the sky is the limit.

    If you put John McCain, Barack Obama and Bob Barr behind the podium, my money will be on the only candidate who can speak with honesty and sincerity in the interests of liberty — Bob Barr.

    • Mejari, on 08/26/2008, -0/+1Ok, so if you add up all three of those media appearances you get 2 and a half hours. (of course, he'll only be on the colbert report and CNN for about 10 minutes each, so it's more like 1 and a half hours). Compare that to any other candidate (including Colbert himself, and then tell us all how much press Barr is getting. Damn, the new Ben Stiller movie is getting more press.
  • stix213, on 08/26/2008, -1/+2Don't you people just love how the elites in the Democrat party make this voting thing so easy by deciding who wins the nomination for you people? It takes the hard work out of voting. I with the Republicans were so forward thinking.

    Firstly, you create elite "Super Delegates" who are obviously more important than normal voters, because the DNC in all their wisdom annoints them. The Super Delegates get to actually decide who wins the party nomination... not like the Republican party who in their own misguided ways actually lets the moronic masses decide who wins the nomination.... Silly Republicans.... Obviously party elites know better.

    Then second... during the middle of the vote you are going to have Hillary call off the vote so that she can direct all her delegates to vote Obama anyway. Yes yes yes... We all know that a TRUE democracy need not waste time with actually casting votes. Leaders are appointed by party elites who know better!

    What I just don't understand now, is why aren't 100% of Democrats supporting Obama? The better people who run the Democrat party said he is The One? Obama appointed a career politician as his VP who is more entrenched in Washington than nearly anyone else in the Senate, so why not 100% support?

    Yeah Obama is inexperienced.... but Obama is going to bring Hope and Change!!! Obama can't tell us yet what this change will be, because this is new undefinable change!!!! Change for Change's sake alone!!! And now with Biden as his VP, who better represents change than someone like Biden who has been in the Senate for most of his life??? No one!!! Biden, being a part of the Washington machine for decades OBVIOUSLY will bring change to the government.... just like he has been!!!!!

    All Hail Obama "The One" and Biden the "Washington Entrenched Change Mister"!!!!
  • edcast, on 08/27/2008, -0/+0Hillary Clinton is a little hottie.
  • JWTHT, on 08/27/2008, -0/+0Political Junkie Jeff’s review of three media sources (plus my own analysis):

    MSNBC: Did a poll measuring response to:
    Did Hillary help Obama: 24%
    Did Hillary help Hillary: 76%

    Chris Mathews and Keith Oberman actually got on screen, announced the results, and then both argued how the number could not possibly be right. Their own poll! And then……Keith Oberman actually got out his cell phone and stated he was going to vote some more to get the result accurate. I could hardly believe my eyes and ears.

    ABC: Sam Donaldson talked about he thinks they should talk about the Supreme Court nominee power more. And went on a diatribe about how an “Activist Judge” is labeled as such when republicans don’t like his actions. At least another of their talking heads had the judgment to say “I think that goes for both sides”, but old Sam was unabashedly biased and giving his advice on what Dems need to do to win.

    Fox, the “Conservative” network, had on Hillary’s campaign manager (Terry McCaulliff) and gave him considerable air time to present the Democratic viewpoint of the convention thus far. AND, Spike Lee walking past a Fox camera saying “I don’t do Fox”. Gave both sides surrogates airtime.

    Not only is McCain running a better ad campaign simply using videos of Democrats speaking with their own free will (So called “negative ads” that are plain truth, non altered video of the core of the Democratic elite stating explicitly that Obama is not Commander in Chief material YET), but the Republicans are targeting and spending their money in a wiser manner. The Dems wont advertise heavy on Fox - part of their “tenure” and “protect our own” culture. But Fox has three times or more the audience of MSNBC, and in raw numbers, more Democrat viewers than MSNBC. And Ed Rendell (Democratic icon from PA) said it best: The media has built up Obama as a Messiah figure, and that is a hard role to fulfill. Compared him to Adlai Stevenson as a very bright but aloof figure. If Obama is directing a campaign that is so politically inept as to write off the Fox audience, how can they possibly expect me to trust them to see the world as it is to solve the great challenges our nation faces?

    I can’t wait for more. Obama looks small. Small next to Hillary, Small next to Bill, and Small next to John. And worst of all for his campaign, Small next to Joe (No wonder they don’t want to show the two on stage together any more than they absolutely have to do)

    NoBAMA on Energy(No new drilling, no new nukes, no new clean Coal - just the forms of Alternative Energy that will make Nancy Pelosi richer, and keep dictator oil freighters polluting their way across the Atlantic for a longer period of time) , NoBAMA on Commander in Chief, NoBAMA on the Economy, NoBAMA on Taxes (even though for 2009-2010 I would probably do better with NoBAMA, but no carrot to reach for the stars), NoBAMA on socialized medicine, NoBAMA on would have lost the war ALREADY in Iraq (His cohorts Reed and Pelosi actually declared it lost), NoBAMA on appeasing Russian rolling tanks into Georgia just as they did to multiple other Eastern European countries, and real Democratic heroes like JFK would have held the same position as John McCain, NoBAMA period.

    Democrats equate McCain with Bush as their primary strategy and rousing call to action. Intelligent people can review the policy proposals, available on each candidates websites, and determine on their own that McCain is no Bush. So the real question of the campaign should and will be with a decent campaign by McCain –Change to WHAT?, Yes We Can WHAT? And who has the best judgment and character and experience to achieve the What.

  • sjanewest, on 08/27/2008, -0/+0This is a no brainer. I am a Hillary supporter but now I am also an Obama supporter. They share the same primary values. Strange that people can think they are so different. There are more differences between McCain and Hillary. I couldn't find a bumper sticker out there for Hillary supporters for Obama, so I made one. It's not bad. You can order one or create your own: www.zazzle.com/sjanewest
  • cwcentral, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1One: the headline of this post is stupid.

    It's the DNC convention, not Hillary's nor Obama's.

    Two: It's funny there is so much hatred on Clinton that correlates with strong support for Obama. And really, it was started there, on the Obama camp's side, not but the Clintons, not by the Republicans. Obama just tapped that energy (i.e. of disgust) to his advantage, like any politician would--it's not visionary.

    Three: Hillary and her supporters can disagree with Obama (though her views are pretty much what Obama follows and it currently following, i.e. working class) and can choose whomever they want when they vote. Win or lose, it's Howard Dean and Obama's fail he is not elected, no scapegoats. As you can tell, she has not waiver on her views, regardless of her tactics. She mentioned it in her speech and it's a fact of her supporters. ... Where as the other two guys have switched their views many times already.

    One thing amusing, though Kucinich's speech was excellent, looks like the digg recommendation engine is "fairly" promoting Hillary DNC videos, like zero of them.
