Hillary's message to America after 10 defeats in a row - "Get real!"

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

NEW YORK—After suffering defeats in Wisconsin and Hawaii yesterday, Sen. Hillary Clinton came home to a supportive audience in Manhattan today and told upcoming Democrat primary voters it was time to “get real” about rival Sen. Barack Obama’s record and rhetoric.

...

“It is time to get real, to get real about how we actually win this election and get real about the challenges facing America. It’s time that we moved from good words to good works, from sound bites to sound solutions,” she said.

I gotta admit, she's right in this instance. The Obama bandwagon is only more proof of this country's willingness to just accept the words that are spoon fed to us.

Issue wise, McCain, Obama, and Hillary are not that far apart.

McCain is killing himself by supporting an unpopular war, and for a continued deployment of some kind in Iraq. That and our current financial woes work against the Republicans.

Hillary is killing herself by attacking everyone. In politics, you have to deal with people you don't agree with. If you just attack them, instead of compromise with them you will only serve to further polarize the country, and likely not be very successful in bringing any changes.

Obama is the one in the race with the least amount of "experience", but that also does work to his advantage. He is seen as someone who will get away from the dirty business as usual politics. Also the person most likely to bring together such a ideologically divided country.

We don't need a leader who campaigns promising xyz, because most of the time they can't deliver it anyway. We simply need a leader that can work to bring the country back in the right direction from the detour that we have taken in the past 7 years.

The one thing I am absolutely sick of hearing is the constant "...ready to defeat the Republicans" by Hillary. I am so sick & tired of this partisan #######.

Why do you say he's killing himself with this?

Those are perfect examples of sound bites. Why won't Hillary move away from them rather than just talking about moving away from them? So yeah, let's get real.

Personally I hope this drags out for a while longer. The more attacks Hillary makes on Obama, the worse he will look when he gets the nomination. And, she'll provide a lot of material for McCain's campaign team to reuse.

The war has dragged on a lot longer and is cost much more than it was promised. There are still people who support it, but most want to get out. The only reason you haven't heard more about it in this election is that the economic issues have taken center stage. McCain has professed not knowing much about economics. If it was the president, he would likely put in place people that would continue the mistakes Bush made. Maybe correct some of them, but we as a nation wont be that much better off.
