Is Clinton's campaign beginning to falter?

Is Clinton's campaign beginning to falter?

The Clinton campaign was premised on the presumption of inevitability, that resistance was futile.

But Ms. Clinton might have inadvertently undermined her own strategy. Under attack from both the Obama and Edwards camps - the former accusing her of a lack of candour and conviction; the latter claiming she was part of the corrupt power structure in Washington - Ms. Clinton counterattacked, accusing Mr. Obama of producing a flawed health-care plan and of relentless ambition to be president.

But when it comes to ambition, Ms. Clinton is hardly one to talk. And her criticisms only made her appear vulnerable, undermining the inevitability factor.

In consequence, Ms. Clinton's support in those states holding early primaries, where voters are paying the most attention to the campaign, is on the wane.

I really dislike Hillary Clinton, because I believe she is a hypocrit and is not strong enough to bet put incharge of the political responsibilities of the United States. She has no ambition and wrongly accuses people to make herself look better. She needs to learn how to respect other people and gain some positivity and stop being so vulnerable.

Kucinich would push peace, health care

Kucinich would push peace, health care

He wants to eliminate tax breaks for the richest 1 percent in exchange for tax breaks to the bottom 80 percent. He advocates tuition-free public colleges and universities in exchange for two years of public service after graduation.

Of all the candidates, Kucinich has the most aggressive deadline for troop withdrawal in Iraq, promising to bring the all troops home within three months.

"He's real," said Lin Fields of Carlisle, Mass., who drove up to Kucinich's book-signing in Keene. "He believes in peace and politics. He wants to get out of the war; he respects the Constitution; he speaks to my heart."

I agree with Kucinich that tax breaks should be eliminated for the richest 1 percent of the population in exchange for tax breaks at the bottom 80 percent of the population, because they people who are struggling need the most help and I don't think it is too much to ask. He also wants to give tuition-fee public colleges and universities in exchange for two years in the public service after graduation, which I also agree with because if your going to help your country they should help you out alittle too, especially if your risking your life.

In Christmas-Greeting Style, Huckabee Makes Appeal to Voters

In Christmas-Greeting Style, Huckabee Makes Appeal to Voters

SCORECARD This gauzy Hallmark card of a political advertisement operates on several levels. It seeks to inoculate Mr. Huckabee from the attack advertisements of his rivals, which are questioning his record on immigration and crime, by pointing out that the Christmas season should be about religion and friends and family — a message that could be effective among Iowans, who are widely believed to dislike negative campaigning. By mentioning “Christ” and “God” so prominently, though, Mr. Huckabee, an ordained Baptist minister, may be trying to rally the conservative evangelical Christians who are flocking to him while simultaneously drawing a tacit comparison with his closest rival, Mitt Romney, who is a Mormon. While that may work in Iowa, the religiosity of the message may turn off more-secular voters elsewhere, and remind them that Mr. Huckabee has been dismissive of homosexuality and indicated that he does not believe in evolution.

Political advertisements are showing Huckabee as a non caring man and that during the Christmas season he would rather worry about immigration and crime than religion, family, and friends, which is stupid because those are two very important issues and not everyone has a religion and he doesn't need to announce all of his beliefs to everyone and as man of his importance he should be more focused on those issues anyways. They also say that he is dismissive of homosexuality and that he does not believe in evolution, frankly why do we care if he believes in evolution or homosexuality at all.

Newspaper: McCain is 'the man to lead America;' Will voters agree?

Newspaper: McCain is 'the man to lead America;' Will voters agree?

Right now, he's running second in one poll, fourth in another.

But what's this? On Sunday, the New Hampshire Union Leader, which has a lot of influence with conservatives, endorsed McCain, saying "John McCain is the man to lead America."

"What is most compelling about McCain, however, is that his record, his character, and his courage show him to be the most trustworthy, competent, and conservative of all those seeking the nomination," the newspaper said. "Simply put, McCain can be trusted to make informed decisions based on the best interests of his country, come hell or high water."

I really like McCain and believe he his the most worthy man to become President of the United States. He almost seems to perfect to be true, because he is the most trustworthy, competent, courageous, conservative, of all the nominees. He has a perfect record and has a great character, so I agree with this article that he should be President and that his best interests are that of the United States.

Fred, don't discount the power of Iowa

Fred, don't discount the power of Iowa

No presidential candidate who has come in fourth in the Iowa caucuses has gone on to win their party's nomination.

None.

And that's why Tennessee's Fred Thompson may have made a campaign-killing mistake. With one month until the first-in-the-nation caucus, he has all but ignored Iowa. The latest poll, taken by the Des Moines Register, shows Thompson coming in a low fourth, with 9 percent of the likely GOP voters.

Fred Thompson will not win his party's nomination in Iowa, because he has come in fourth in the caucuses. I agree that he has made a mistake somewhere in his campaign, because he has ignored Iowa and came in fourth with 9 percent GOP voters.

Romney Hopes To Ease Qualms On His Faith

Romney Hopes To Ease Qualms On His Faith

Fighting to save his faltering presidential campaign, former Massachusetts
governor Mitt Romney said Monday that he will reassure Republican voters
that his religious values are the same as theirs and that he believes faith
has a place in political life and governing.

Rather than hoping that voters will look past his Mormon beliefs, Romney will confront the issue of his faith directly in a speech on Thursday, stressing what he calls a "common heritage" in America that unites people of different religions
around a common set of moral beliefs.

"I'm concerned that faith has disappeared in many respects from the public square," Romney said at a town hall meeting here. "I want to make sure that we maintain our religious heritage in this country -- not of a particular brand of faith, if you will, not a particular sect or denomination, but rather the great moral heritage that we have."

Mitt Romney believes that religion is a huge part of political life and governing. I however don't, but I suppose you need some faith to take on that responsibility of President. I don't agree with Romney on this issue and don't think he is going to win, because there aren't many mormons and people are going to see that as a problem.

Giuliani Assails 'Fair Tax' Plan

Giuliani Assails 'Fair Tax' Plan

"I think there are several tax deductions that are vital to our economy,"
Giuliani said. "This would not be a good time — I don't know if there would ever
be a good time to do this — to advocate ending the home mortgage deduction. The
home mortgage deduction is considered by many critical to the ability of people
to buy a home and keep their home."

He also said deductions for
charitable contributions and state and local taxes were important tax breaks
that the plan would eliminate. The plan calls for getting rid of the Internal
Revenue Service and giving taxpayers a monthly rebate on taxes on purchases up
to the poverty line.

"Why waste our time trying to do this if we can't
actually accomplish it?" Giuliani said. "I try to put my time into things that
we can actually accomplish."

I agree with Guiliani on the fair tax plan, because tax deductions are very important to the citizens of the United States. Taxes are being raised higher and higher every single day it seems, so it is getting harder to buy the things that we desperately need to survive.
