I've been ruminating some on the "three o'clock in the morning ad" of Hillary's that pushed everybody's buttons. I don't know what you all three think but I think there is something very fishy about the reactions. Something distorted... dare I say it... something psychodynamic.
There were pictures of children sleeping... a close up of an infant.... a worried mother standing in the door way... then calling the doctor...? on the line was Hillary... Up at three in the morning and ready for action!
Just ask yourself this... Who usually wakes up at three in the morning to save the three month old infant starving and frightened by the lack on connection to something 'other' that might protect it from annihilation? Mother. Who knows most of the time, without words, intuitively what the infant needs and when? Mother. Who is generally more reliable to get up to feed and clean the baby and lull it back to a feeling of safety and slumber? Mother.
Hillary has played the girl card!!! I must admit it. But it doesn't bother me much. I think it's fair ground in the political war games. And I think a lot of people will respond to it. You can hear echos of it when some say "it's time for a woman to be in the white house." It's time to put someone there who will actually wake up and get out of bed when the vulnerable and innocent little people need her.

I don't know about this one, i think you're streatching.
especially since this same ad was run last time by Mondale.
don't know that he was playing the girl card
much more realistically the FEAR card was what that was about.
like while your kids are sleeping, a terrorist may call the white house, who do you want to answer?
to me, after 8 years of politics by fear, its grown stale.
I meant to say"reaching"
Not "streatching"
hard to type in the iPhone
I am so tired of politicians playing on our fears. Bush tells us that if we're not with him, we are with the terrorists! The talk shows talk, endlessly, about who would you want in office if there is another attack. I believe that if there is another attack, it won't matter who's in office. Please tell us what your vision is for a non terrorist future. That interests me more.
Stretching. Reaching. I knew what you meant... Intuitively.
I would like to hear what people think of this "dream team": Clinton as Prs and Obama as Veep. I think they'll kill each other but then there were other Presidents who didn't like their Vicepresidents.
I think as far as the "dream team" goes, its pure politics as far as Clinton goes to float the idea. Theres no logical sense to attacking someone as not being ready to be commander in chief, while floating the idea of that same person being vp. Can't have it both ways.
It's like an internship position. By the end of his term as VP he'll finally be prepared. It makes perfect sense to me.

that's a joke right?
So, we'll let the two Democrats slug it out while the economy is hurting. I believe that affects more people than personality clashes.
Obama's religious preacher is something to see!
yes joke. should I indicate such things. I guess my sense of humor is not translating.
