Hillary wins Republican debate
From the Washington Post Michael D. Shear Blog

In GOP Debate, It's Clinton By a Mile

The score from Sunday night's Republican debate in Florida was as follows:

Hillary Clinton: 33
Barack Obama: 0
John Edwards: 0

That, of course, is the number of times that each was mentioned by GOP candidates or the questioners during the debate. As is clear, there was no contest. Obama and Edwards were completely absent in the hour-and-a-half debate.

Clinton was not.

True, the repeated mentions of Clinton were not meant to evoke warm and fuzzy feelings about the senator from New York. There was not a nice thing to be said, outside of Sen. John McCain's promise to be "respectful" of her.

He then called her out for sponsoring a $1 million funding request for a Woodstock museum.

2. You don't think I watched do you
The Sox are awesome. Cool thing is the World Series won't be an afterthought this time. Who did they beat in '04?

8. It was very intense for a while, until the little guys went crazy
I just love Dusty. He's a little spitfire, and Jacoby has an amazing future

I laughed so hard at the celebration. Paps and Youk are too much

3. Isn't John McCain a little old
to be talking about Woodstock? (Can't you see him running around telling those rotten kids to get off his lawn :rofl:)

5. The Repubs want to run against Hillary so much so that they can't hide their excitement.

11. Yep. They'd like you to believe that
Just like they wanted you to believe they wanted to run against Dean.

They are scared shitless of Hillary and rightly so.

7. This is why I worry about a Hillary nomination.
The hatred she provokes in this inbreds is frightening.

13. I used to feel the same way.
I have come to the conclusion that whoever gets the nomination is going to end up in the same spot. They will just keep pushing the buttons that motivate these people. Hillary is already Identified within the cultural division that permeates the political landscape. I am not a Hillary supporter.

14. I see what you mean.
I suppose Hillary's batterment in the media the last 15 years could be a positive thing too...if she was going to get any more unpopular, chances are she would have already done it.

9. I hope a lot of independents are watching all these white men
trying to make themselves out to be the biggest warmonger, and intolerant arch conservative. The more this goes on, the more they alienate themselves from most Americans.

12. Rangel calls rudi a G.D cheating husband
Rudi's camp answers that Rangel's remarks are not important enough to comment on. BUT all of the republican assholes in Fox's slime fest couldn't get enough of bashing Hillary.

Gee what's the difference. Oh I get it, you can't say anything about republicans, we all know that, but if you want to bash a democrat go ahead.
