I completely understand why myself and my neighbors like Hilary, but a question tonight gave me a funny feeling. See the economy is my main concern right now. But I learned that Hilary's campaign is operating in the red. What I can't get past is thinking how is she going to keep our economy strong if she can't even keep her campaign in the black. Plus, she even has a husband whose is pretty skilled in economics, but still not doing so hot with their books. I know it sounds like all I'm worrying about is money, but I'm really just worrying about how I and my neighbors are going to be able to put food on the table with gas & food so high. It's making me lean the other way...maybe they're right...time for a change. Really got me thinkin'.

You have a good point. Usually any political campaign is in the red; it's just too expensive to run for office these days. If Hillary's campaign fails she will simply have a lot of debt to pay off (or, be forgiven of). She's simply rolling the dice and hoping she will win.

John McCain's fiscally-impossible and irresponsible economic plan is a lot more worrisome than Hillary's campaign being in the red.

McCain himself wouldn't even be covered under his proposed healthcare plan.

Wow.

Yeah, it does take a lot of money to run a campaign...presumptuously speaking, and to the magnitude of one for the president of the United States. I still think we have to rally around Hillary, who has far more (if i may use the word) experience in Washington than either McCain or Obama, esp Obama. The mess, the very mess that our country is in because of the Bush Administration, will take a very strong willed and experienced person to get us out of the mess. and i have every confidence in Hillary that she can do just that. I have followed the Clinton's since I knew there was a Clinton, and I believe that they have helped our country far more and in more ways that any of us may know. I think Bill Clinton is a brilliant man (even in spite of his missteps) and he did all that he could do for his eight years. I just think the country is very very foolish if they don't put her, Hillary, in the oval office.

People voted FOR Bush because he was "strong-willed" and "experienced."

I think it's time for something completely different, but that's just me. G'Obama. Razz

not sure how he got in the first time, but i think for the 2nd election he preyed on the post-911/terrorism angle to shuffle in the vote.

*cough* propaganda *cough*

How's this for propaganda... i'll give you a topic.

The "war on terror" is neither a war, nor terror.

Discuss.

The "war on terror" is the biggest load of bullcrap this country has been fed in a long, long time. I fully support your right to be scared enough to be among the <25% of Americans who actually support the Bush administration, and that's my "wacked out" opinion. Attack away bushman with links from Fox News, Newsmax and The Weekly Standard.

Come on, you've got better things to do, don't you?
