MSNBC Political Analyst and Air America Radio Host Rachel Maddow joins Norah O'Donnell, Pat Buchanan, and Eugene Robinson to discuss the tough road ahead for Hillary Clinton, advice for her campaign, and the importance of momentum. Aired 2/12/08.
We all know since months, that the "Clinton-Fake-Creature" is done...- never seen anybody like her with such a lack of character... feel very sorry for Billy--Boy... - so now, after she lost every last one of her arguments (pledge delegates - large states - public vote...) she says, she would be the better candidate, because of "white, uneducated, hard working men" are voring for her and not for him! That's all she can say? - She's saying "white dumb (uneducated) are voting for her? :-) DUMMY!

I knew he wanted to keep his House seat. He's not still running for president, is he?

My goodness, the media blackout is having the intended effect! He's far from dropping out. He is focusing on winning the primary for his House seat (he's being challenged by a local neo-con), which is March 4.
Your concern about our boys getting killed in Iraq is certainly humane. And it makes sense to want BO rather than HC to get the Dem nomiation, because she & Bill scare me. But if you don't have a strong preference for either one, vote for RP, the consistently pro-freedom candidate.

I supported RP until he dropped out (is he out?). He said things I had said for years regarding foreign policy. It's just common sense. But most of our boys are getting killed in Iraq. That is why my vote will go to Obama.

As to your other point about those few who would remain behind after the majority came out, maybe you can enlighten me: Does Obama want to keep permanent bases in Iraq and the Middle East? If you could point me to a YouTube vid with an excerpt of a speech where he addresses this, I would thank you. As far as I know, he is not proposing to end these anachronistic military commitments we've made, and I think that's significant.
By the way, my support for RP IS pretty transparent, isn't it?

I realize they're quite far apart on Iraq, but they're both still interventionists. The difference between the two is one of application, not principle.
On the issue of Iraq, Obama's stance is certainly better, but I wonder, How much money would his administration take from me to prop up corrupt foreign governments under the guise of foreign aid? That may not get our boys killed, but it's still intervention, and it can still bankrupt us. So I don't see myself voting for either one.

Just because Obama isn't going the RP route doesn't mean he equals McCain, not even close. At least he doesn't see us in Iraq for 50-100 years. That's a big improvement over McCain. He wants the majority out asap, but he can't promise anything right now involving the rest, he has to wait til he get's in there and listens to the advice of generals (w/out pressuring them), & make a practical decision based on that. He would want to know of any dangers that the US would face if they ALL came home.

just wait... you'll see.

Obama and McCain = Six of one, a half dozen of the other. They both believe in a big government, and they both believe in empire.
When has Obama pledged to pull ALL of our troops out of Iraq and bring them ALL home from ALL the 130 foreign countries where they're stationed?
As for McCain, I need say no more, since his shortcomings are already well known.
