Believe it or not, Bill Clinton still carries poltical clout especially in comparison to Obama.

Actually, Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Obama cost her the election, not Bill.

Yes, he does have clout and I love the guy, but a lot of Democrats will not vote for her because of him. He's a great fund raiser and speaker for the party, though.

And it was people like Ted Kennedy that didn't trust Bill.

We agree on that Wayland Woman. Hillary has a huge amount of people sitting in the wings who would have voted for her if Obama had not won the nomination. No matter who runs on the other side, Hillary would still be a strong opponent because so many were upset that she lost the nomination. All she has to do is to focus on small government and real transparency.

He's torpedoing his own "Change" with the "Same as it ever was" meme.

Hey, this is what we were telling you guys all along...but nah, you wouldn't listen. If you want to blame someone for Obama's failure's, blame him. We told ya so:

Great speech!

Obama... I wouldn't call it failure just yet. The fat lady hasn't sung yet and health care reform is not going away, nor will the invisible hand of capitalism solve itself, nor will joe public tolerate the continuance of same old same old. I think Obama's leadership style is hurting him right now, and I hope he pulls through.

I voted for Hillary in primary. No point asking what might have been now, just move forward and deal with reality as it is. Left to it's own devices, increasing rates of medically induced bankruptcy will be the most powerful special interest lobbyist that cannot be ignored. It's a very bad idea when so- called capitalists cook their golden goose.

That's what I think too. I think her and Bill find the work
they do there and their connection since 1975 more fulfilling.

I predict that Bill and Hillary will go their own way once her political aspirations are over.
