Hillary Clinton's attitude I think is just an attempt to look manily. I doubt if she will go against her own party when the time comes regarding Iran or the patriot act and Iraq has already been attacked. And liberals are not mesmerized by Hillary or at least I sure am not. I don't particularly like her, but I always end up defending her from these vicious attacks by the MSM and republicans because regardless of her stance on issues she has yet to actually do anything.

My exact point to a degree. She hasn't done anything and she has all of this support. Why? Because her husband is Bill Clinton. Not because she's 'strong' or an 'independent woman.' As the article questions, who made her queen?

Hillary Clinton just released a 9/11-related political ad. It could get ugly between her and Rudy on that front before long. Anyone using 9/11 to strengthen his/her candidacy is in bad taste, imo. We all know that Rudy will be riding that one all the way to the Republican nomination with his lines like, 'In my time as mayor of New York City, I saved the world.' Hillary will definitely not give in though - I think she just showed that, but her on ground zero in a political ad....bad idea if you ask me.

That isn't Hillary's fault, she's just ceasing an opportunity as Rudy and Obama are.

I agree with you about Rudy, he and Hillary are equally useless and coincidentally the two frontrunners! As far as Obama is concerned, he has a foreign policy history that I can agree with. He's voted against the Iraq War consistently from the beginning and is now against the Iran War. He now preaches diplomacy, and I approve of his nuclear weapons disposal plan - assuming he can get it done, which would be more than difficult. However, he has a solid plan, unlike Hillary and Giuliani - not to mention he has the charisma to make things happen on the national stage, much like Ronald Reagan did.
