The Republicans want Hillary to win, because she can be beat. They have enough dislike for her that any of their canidates is a better pick than Hillary.
Elitist & Patronizing don’t waste your vote on Hillary.
Hillary may have experience, but it’s probably for the worse. When Bill and Hill where running Arkansas, her vow was to raise the education in the state from 40th. When they left for the white house it was 49th. And isn’t true, Obama has just as much experience as Kennedy or Lincoln? And look at Bush and Cheney. They have experience and all they have caused is skepticism and distrust the government.

It wasn’t that hard to figure out what Hillary was saying about driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants to anyone willing to really listen. She said the governor’s approach makes sense–he’s proposing 3 types of licenses, one for id purposes only, one as regular Driver’s licenses, and a limited version for immigrants for driving only. (I really was amazed she could remember a proposed law this well.) Then she said the governor was backed into doing something so that drivers would be protected from unidentified and uninsured motorists who were illegal immigrants. (Which Obama later said he supported.) Since Congress hadn’t passed immigration reform, the governors are forced to act in this way. She was not, however, endorsing this action, she just said she understood why he was doing it. That makes sense to me. If I can get it, so can you.

The only reason the candidates were going after Hilliary is because she is a great punching bag. She has so many holes you can drive a truck through.

These issues are complex and Hillary understands the complexity. I want a leader who is able to consider the many complexities of an issue. This is a GOOD thing and the press and voters should encourage such thinking.

It’s unfortunate that Obama and Edwards are trying to portray this as a bad thing. Haven’t we had enough of simple, black-and-white thinking the last 6 years? Clinton ‘08

Yes, it was not her best performance but why did half of the debate center around Hillary? Doesn’t the country have bigger issued to tackle?

Where does Hilary stand on the issue of Driver’s license to illegals? It doesn’t have to be a Yes or No answer but at least, we ought to know if she supports it or not. Doug, can you help since she wasn’t able to say so during the debate.

Alene,
You’re leaning towards those you really don’t have any knowledge about? Go to their websites and find out about them. Your vote is one of your most precious possessions as an American.
Don’t waste it on Hillary.

I won’t bother watching the clips because I am almost cynical of politicians already. They would like to say things not from their hearts but what the voters would like to hear from them. All posturing. But since the electoral process has to be done to find someone to lead this country, we are forced to really elect a President.

For me I am leaning towards voting Hillary Clinton. Even with the panderings and her deficiencies, I can just look at her track record as Senator and First Lady. At least I am a bit sure of what I am choosing, rather than those who I really don’t have any knowledge about.

The description of Hillary as a calculating person and cold person may best serve her in dealing with the rouges in this world.

In a previous comment Doug said, “Actually, anybody with a brain knows where Hillary stands on issues.”

Okay, Doug, tell us where Hillary stand on giving drivers licenses to illegals.

Com’n! Adults. Not every question has a yes or no anwser. You know that. I think the answers Cliton gave during the debate are good analysis of the situations. Once she is the president, she will come with a decision, an educated, well thought out and viable one. People with Obama’s experience will give direct but naive answers. In this debate though, he only copied Clinton’s answers, see the one on immigration. Edwards seemed he did not come for anything else but attacks.
