Video: Bill Clinton crying

I'm buying his crying more than her crying :-)

So, I guess everyone can drop their change theme now?

You couldn't have more of a status quo vote than McCain and Clinton.

Clinton wins!!!!

According to AP. So much for Obamania!

Maybe Obama should cry :-)

Obama wins big in Dixville Notch and Hart

She didn't even get any votes in Dixville Notch:

In Hart's Location, Obama received 9 votes, Hillary Rodham Clinton 3 and John Edwards 1. On the Republican side, McCain received 6 votes, Mike Huckabee 5, Ron Paul 4 and Mitt Romney 1.

In Dixville Notch, Obama got 7 votes, Edwards 2 and Bill Richardson 1. Among Republicans, McCain got 4 votes, Romney 2 and Rudy Giuliani 1.

Bill Clinton to Ron Paul Supporters: "You're Nuts!"

Good for Bill Clinton letting these people know they aren't playing with a full deck.

"You wanna know what I think?” Clinton said. “You guys who think 9/11 was an inside job are crazy as hell. My wife was the senator from New York when that happened. I was down at Ground Zero. I saw the victims' families. You're nuts."

"Is she scheduled to emote again at this event?"

Hehe!

Hillary Clinton Crying

Does anyone buy this? After the reports that she's too cold and standoffish, isn't a little suspicious that she cries during a campaign stop? The question she was asked was about her hair. Very suspicious timing. I think she's playing for sympathy (and I do feel a little sorry for her -- she sounded so pathetic).

Video here.

Update: Here's the video:

She really does come softer and more human. Pretty brilliant performance.

Frank Luntz's focus group does not have good news for Hillary

Oh boy! This does not bode well for Tuesday:

Hillary at the Democrat debate: "I'm running on 35 years of change"

I don't think she sounds as shrill as others think she did. She did sound angry but not over the top (she didn't sound like she was ready to fling an ash tray at Obama :-).

Bill Clinton: the media is forcing Hillary to go negative

Oh. My. Heck! No one can beat Clinton for sheer audacity:

Bill Clinton voiced his abiding anger at the media's coverage of him and his wife in Durham, N.H., today, and suggested that media bias will force Clinton to go negative on Barack Obama.

He also expressed his frustration that his wife is perceived by voters as divisive through, he said, no fault of her own.

Clinton, like his wife, is traveling New Hampshire taking questions from voters, and he spoke at the University of New Hampshire in Durham in response to a plea from a woman who said she'd like it "if you and Clinton joined Barack Obama in putting the Republicans on notice" that it was time to "change the game" and end the "meanness" and "manipulation" in politics.

Clinton replied that he liked the idea — in theory.

"I think we can change it as long as you have access to information by people who are committed to judging everybody by the same set of rules and following the same set of rules," he said. "According to the most recent media analysis, that’s not what’s happened so far, but yeah, I think it should be done."

Do yourself a favor and go read his whole quote. When you read it keep in mind how coddled the Clintons are by the MSM.

Clinton precinct captain who switched to Obama is switching again

It looks like the race for president is just as fluid on the left as it is on the right:

Yet when Klopfer showed up at an Edwards house party this morning, it was because she was on the verge of switching again.

"In both of those people, I didn't see the experience that I'd like to see and kind of the groundedness that I'd like to see," she said of Obama and Clinton, "so I'm really looking at Edwards, and I'm still really looking at Richardson."

Klopfer said she went to see Richardson when he held an event in Mount Pleasant last night and was impressed by both Richardson then and Edwards today.

"Probably I'll caucus for Richardson," she said after Edwards spoke. "My guess is he won't be viable, and then I'll probably scoot right over to Edwards."

Here's the ad that Obama made of her switch.

Matthews asks if Hillary Clinton is “The sweetest, sexiest woman on this side of the planet”

What??? Why is Matthew even considering the question? Hillary sexy and seductive? Makes you want to throw up a little, doesn't it? (BTW, he even called her "incredibly good looking.")

Here's the full video, judge for yourself:

Do you think she's sexy?

Clinton not taking questions

Her imperial majesty isn't accepting questions from reporters or the peasants who come to hear her speak:

As she races through Iowa in the days before next week's caucuses, Hillary Clinton is taking few chances. She tells crowds that it’s their turn to “pick a president,’’ but over the last two days she has not invited them to ask her any questions.

Before the brief Christmas break, the New York senator had been setting aside time after campaign speeches to hear from the audience. Now when she’s done speaking, her theme songs blare from loudspeakers, preventing any kind of public Q&A.

She was no more inviting when a television reporter approached her after a rally on Thursday and asked if she was “moved’’ by Benazir Bhutto’s assassination. Clinton turned away without answering.

Bon Jovi an elder statesman????

*Snicker*

He calls her "Mrs. C." And she calls on him to add a little celebrity gloss to her presidential campaign.

The rock singer Jon Bon Jovi and Hillary Rodham Clinton have been friends for more than a decade, uniting for state dinners at the White House and campaign fund-raisers.

If it seems strange that a rocker who sings paeans of working-class New Jersey is so friendly with a senator and former first lady who is using a Celine Dion song as the theme of her presidential campaign, consider a few items on Bon Jovi's social calendar in the last few months.

There were dinners with Clinton and another Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards. Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, her fiercest rival for the nomination, asked Bon Jovi to hear him speak in New York. And the former Vice President Al Gore caught up with him in London for a photo op.

Bon Jovi, 45, whose tousled golden mane and porcelain-white smile have twice helped him earn People magazine's award for sexiest rock star, can lay claim to an unofficial new title these days: the New Jersey's elder statesman.

In New Jersey, it is practically a requirement for any high-ranking politician to attend at least one of his shows. And despite his left-leaning political allegiances, Democrats and Republicans alike seek him out as if he were New Jersey's very own Bono.

He sings paeans of working-class New Jersey so that he can have Bruce Springsteens millions. Just because you sing about the working poor doesn't make you one of them.

And then there's this:

And as someone who sings about his "plastic dashboard Jesus" and performs at concerts to fight global warming, his appeal is broad.

[...]

The two were on a flight to Maryland for a day of horse racing at the Pimlico race course with some friends when someone asked them to compare occupations. "He said, 'Mr. President, which is better, your job or Jon's?' I said, 'I know the answer to that. Mine, because I get to keep the airplane and the house.' "

Hmmm...fighting global warming while bragging about owning airplanes -- there seems to be a disconnect there.

Clinton playing the racial card?

Hmmm....I wouldn't put it past them:

It has unfolded mostly under the radar. But an important development in the 2008 Democratic battle may be the building backlash among African Americans over comments from associates of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton that could be construed as jabs at Sen. Barack Obama's race.

These officials, including Clinton aides and prominent surrogates, have raised questions or dropped references about Obama's position on sentencing guidelines for crack vs. powder cocaine offenses; on his handgun control record; and on his admitted use of drugs as a youth. The context was always Obama's "electability." But the Illinois senator's campaign advisers said some African American leaders detect a pattern, and they believe it could erode Clinton's strong base of black support.

Thompson: "Saddle Me Up"

Ewww! First Clinton and now Thompson, could you guys come up with better metaphors cause you're grossing me out:

Republican Fred Thompson says if he can be a presidential horse for conservatives to ride in the campaign, "All I've got to say is saddle me up."

Thompson was touring Iowa by bus rather than on horseback Tuesday, saying he's got the potential to come on fast in the final days before the state's Jan. 3 caucuses.

Thompson, who has occasionally been labeled a less-than-energetic campaigner, spoke with enthusiasm to about 30 people at a town hall in Manchester while his blue campaign bus, emblazoned with a huge picture of his head and shoulders, waited outside.

"We're taking it now to where it needs to be," Thompson told his audience. "This is where it starts. This is where we are. this is where we're going to be. ... We're going to make sure we meet everybody we can possibly meet."

Hillary intends to ship Bill out of the country with Bush Sr.

Yeah, we buy that Hillary wants to improve America's image by sending Clinton out of the country. She's probably telling him how important it is so that she can get rid of him so he won't be undermining her work and to keep him away from the interns. And shouldn't Bush Sr. have come out swinging over Clinton's insult of the job his son is doing?

Former President Bill Clinton said Monday that the first thing his wife Hillary will do when she reaches the White House is dispatch him and his predecessor, President George H.W. Bush, on an around-the-world mission to repair the damage done to America's reputation by the current president — Bush's son, George W. Bush.

"Well, the first thing she intends to do, because you can do this without passing a bill, the first thing she intends to do is to send me and former President Bush and a number of other people around the world to tell them that America is open for business and cooperation again," Clinton said in response to a question from a supporter about what his wife's "number one priority" would be as president.

Who aren't we chummy with now? Germany, France, England have all been very supportive of our nation lately. Clinton is living in lasts years narrative, he needs to get with the new narrative because he looks ill-informed.

Clinton invites voters to "inspect" her

Um...ewww! I really don't like the imagery she keeps invoking. She may want to think before she says these things:

Standing atop a stage in a livestock auction barn, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton likened the experience to her quest to woo undecided voters in the closing days before Iowa's pivotal caucuses.

"I've been to cattle barns before and sales before, in Arkansas, but I've never felt like I was the one that was being bid on," Clinton told a crowd in western Iowa. "I know you're going to inspect me. You can look inside my mouth if you want. I hope by the end of my time with you I can make the case for my candidacy and to ask you to consider caucusing for me."

And check out the photo -- I really would be shocked if the AP photographers (or the photo editor) weren't Obama supporters.

Poor Clinton! Campaigning does age you, doesn't it? She might want to get some botox suggestions from Kerry :-)

Clinton peddling her candidacy door to door in NH:

ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Hillary Clinton went door to door in Manchester, N.H. asking for votes. The campaign had said that the people who lived in the homes Clinton went to were not pre-screened, but the senator did walk from home to home in West Manchester -- a part of town friendly to Democrats.
