I'm not outraged that she avoided a simple question. Stop being a drama queen.

~200 Democrats in the House and Senate up for reelection and almost all of them are avoiding being seen or associated with Obama. Even in relatively blue Michigan Gary Peters is campaigning that he is willing to oppose Obama.

You don't even know who she is running against yet but you know you want her as President even though she was caught lying in the White House travel office scandal, fired from the Watergate investigation for ethics violations, and discovered to have been organizing character assassinations against the victims of her husband's sexual harassment in direct violation of the principle of not blaming the victim.

Then you want to talk about RWNJ? I don't think you have any room to be calling someone else a political nutjob.

The same thing happened in 2006 and 2008, Republicans ran away from Bush in droves. It happens every time the sitting president is down in numbers.

Worth repeating.

The very argument is about How President Obama's approval ratings/election math affects down ballot Democrats.

You are wrong by the very basis of this thread.

You Watch politics enough to know Michigan is not nearly as blue as your comment tries to make it seem. Michigan currently has a Republican Governor and Legislature.

Sure but if she is running to represent KY voters in the US Senate, isn't it reasonable for voters to want to know with whom she is aligned politically?

Sure she has the right to stonewall on this, but by the same token the voters of KY have the right not to vote for her over her lack of transparency. This is not an ordinary voter; this is someone who is asking to be sent to DC to vote on legislation that will regulate our lives.

Last time Michigan voted red in a presidential election was 1988.

I thought you democrats say that gerrymandering is the only reason the legislature is red? And by gerrymandering you mean not splitting up urban areas like Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, etc with red areas...because Detroit will vote 90+% blue.

Yes, always back to Bush.

You admit that Bush and Obama are two peas in a pod.

Why do Obama supporters always oppose transparency of candidates for office? Of course this politician has the right to hide her most simple and basic politics from the voters, but is that ethical?

-How dare a citizen ask an unscripted question to a man running for president! 2008 Obama with Joe the Plumber.

-How dare a reporter ask who a prospective US Senator is aligned with politically in DC! 2014 Grimes.

If she did reveal who she voted for, her political opponents would just use the information to discredit her. A fool's move on all counts.
Tax returns are also private. Unless you're a rich Republican in which case you should disclose everything about your personal finances.

Why laugh, to see the final destruction of a great country. Do you have children? Do you care about their futures? If you did you would not laugh at the fact that someone who wrote a thesis on the Marxist Saul Alinsky most likely has a leftist agenda of destruction.

It's baffling to see all of the selfish people out there laughing about what's happening to America. There is no way these people have children.
