#1 So she's taken polls and checked with focus groups to find out what position is selling this month.

Color me unimpressed.

Me, too.

Hillary is too predictable, phoney, and transparent. I guess she's gotta keep tryin', though, huh?

#3 She's invested her entire life to becoming TMPBU*.
No detail is too small.
No mountain too high.
No shit sandwich too disgusting.
No...

More?

#4 Yeah, it's just another career politician. Zero heart.

It is gratifying, though, to see Hilary taking a big bite out of not only this, but a veritable buffet of shit sandwiches, and licking her fingers clean. You know these policies have got to grate on what's left of her inner being.

#5 Good thing she's showing no signs of having learned that being a follower is good for only about 40% of the vote nationwide in this country.

#6 I agree with everyone's comments about her transparent efforts to appear more "conservative" but think for a moment about the reaction of the LLL to her recent statements. Not a peep out of Teddy or moveon.org. Why so silent? have they been tipped off to the fact that this may be a smokescreen? Her recent statements about being religious, going to church, etc. haven't elicited the kind of bashing the President got for his open religiosity. Why not? I think she is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

#7 She's more of a socialist in socialist's clothing. Recall the LLL's collective (no pun intended) moans following the election that they simply weren't as good at tricking the voters as was Karl Rove and his evil band of Republicans. The Hildebeeste's collectivist credentials are beyond reproach so you're not likely to hear much whining from the left about her impersonating a conservative in an attempt to dupe the voters into putting them back in power four years down the road.

#8 It was mentioned on the local morning news that a large number of Americans would support a female president. I don't have a problem with that, as long as it's not the Hildabeast or the likes of her.

#9 The first female and/or first minority presidents must be Republicans.

#10 When my wife (whose hearing is not spectacular) heard about this trip on TV she heard: "back-biting trip". I think her version is probably closer to the truth of the matter.

I think it is the one in page 54 of Kama Sutra. Sorry given that we are talking about Hillary I couldn't resist.

#12 When that day comes, more moderate Democrats should keep in mind what Mrs. Clinton said when it mattered — and apportion their support accordingly.

I won't forget.

#13 Do not underestimate Hillary or fall into the trap the Dem's did of openly hating her too much. The response to Hillary has to be better ideas that are more effectively articulated. Hate of the candidate alone will not win an election. That said, she makes me want to barf.

That and Condi after she does 2-3 years as VP.
