Would someone please explain to me what Hillary's "plan" is and why it is superior to Obama's?

If it's a woman:  Start crying and make them empathize.
 
 If it's a man: kick 'em in the balls.

...and that message would be what exactly?
 
 HOPE....CHANGE.....HOPE....CHANGE....HOPE....CHANGE.
 
 Call me stupid but I need a bit more than that to become and Osama sheeple [/b]

This is exactly the 'cartoonization' that Obama has to fight  He has expressed a lot of substance behind the 'change' theme, particularly in the Texas and Ohio debates.  
 
 Great example is the $4,000 tuition subsidy for students who do community service.  Fantastic idea.  Exemplifies logical governance and a government focused on helping citizens who are committed to helping themselves and society.  That's what people are rallying behind.  That's real.
 
 I think Hillary relies on the platitudes.  Hillary's "solutions".  What are they?  What has she ever solved?
 
 And the truth is the ability to inspire is the greatest asset a president can have. Its the characteristic that links all the best remembered presidents.  An inspired country solves its problems.  
 
 Its ridiculous for a candidate's ability to inspire be used against him/her.

I'm a little disappointed in Obama's willingness/ability to broaden his message (and I don't mean indulging in attacks, which I believe is not necessary, and has been one of his strong points so far).   He has the substance to back up his style, as anyone who has watched him debate knows -- but he has been too slow to incorporate that into his speeches.
 
 The idiots -- Obamamaniacs -- who are fainting at his rallies don't help either.  They ought to find a way to screen people like that out.   Reminds me of the lame poseurs who used to cry at Rites of Spring shows here in DC back in the day, because they were supposedly so emotionally overwhelmed.
 
 I still think he'd make a vastly better president than Hillary, whom for all her crowing about "experience," really has none that is significant.  Travelled to foreign countries?  Been woken up by a phone at 3am?  I've done those things too, doesn't mean I'm qualified to be president.
 
 But between his somewhat lame adaptibility, and Hillary's "I'll destroy the Democratic party if that's what it takes to win" attitude, I think McCain must be rubbing his aged hands in glee.

I'd probably vote for you over the other three choices...

Hey Doom - free campaing advice from Smackie.
 
 This is not the endorsement you want from the boardies.

I'm no Hillary fan, I just haven't bought into Obama's sales pitch. My wife has and we talk about it quite a bit...she tells me he's refreshing so I tell her I'd better vote for a carton of Tropicana because so is chilled orange juice not from concentrate.
 
 I'm like the vast majority of voters and I'm not going to search out Obama's 'manifesto' I'm going to decide who's the better candidate from what I see during debates and what I read on the internet, which seems to be a little less biased than the news media, because they tend to have their own agenda as we all know.
 
 Basically, from what I've seen he's said nothing..and I mean NOTHING. Hillary's no better really but there's so many in awe of this one term senator and I just don't see it.

pollard. . .you're beloved talking points:
 
 Linda Hershman no longer allowed to post
  So. Either the dozen guys who run TPM do not think female voting behavior is worthy of their coverage or, dare I say it, they don't want to run material that might result in readers supporting a candidate other than the one they favor. They do not appear to have deacquisitioned Ruth Rosen, who is one of the Feminists for Peace and Barack Obama!â?¢ which of course only supports my most paranoid thoughts.

TPM is just one site of many I read on a daily basis, but just so you know, plenty of Obama supporters give them crap for favoring Hillary by just reciting her campaigns conference call every morning, and I also rarely read TPM cafe or reader posts on there, stick to the 3 main writers they do a pretty good job of reporting
 
 and if you want to talk bias, you dont need to look any further than the site you just linked from, Taylor Marsh is just about the worst when it comes to being in the bag for one candidate at any cost (she lead the effort to tie Obama to The Weather Underground)

Obama had something to do with shitty mall-punk band AFI's latest aural-abortion? Brutal!
