Hillary Clinton seems to have become unhinged. Her campaign is in total disarray and she is now coming across as desperate. It’s not an appealing sight.

For a candidate who has campaigned on the slogan, they are ready to lead on day one, their campaign performance seems to indicate that is far from the truth.

If Hillary Clinton cannot run an effective primary campaign, how in the world will she be able to run the entire country?

Word !!!! Well - spoken !!!! But isn’t Amy a GOP op ??

Go figure !!!!! On point though .

Ms. Clinton’s campaign has truly hit by rock bottom. The publishing of Mr. Obama in traditional African Somali dress trying to stir up fear among the electric, (can you say bush and rove). What in heaven would she say if he dresses in Mexican outfit or an American Indian head dress?

Following those attracts she tries to belittle his foreign policy, while glorifying her own. When did Ms. Clinton run a country? Her experience gave the president ok to go to war in Iraq, while underfunding the troops in Afghanistan and missed the opportunity to capture bin landan at Tore Bora. And following that vote by giving bush a free pass to invade Iran.

Ms. Clinton should be asking to account for her foreign policy experience at the debate tomorrow.

Couldn’t have said it any better

One last comment Amy. Another wise person said, “those who can’t do it just criticize those who can”. I don’t see you throwing your hat in the ring.

Hillary Clinton will lose in the general election if nominated. Her divisive tactics against Barack Obama are way over the top. His voters will without a doubt stay home or vote for John McCain. Hill and Bill will destroy the Democratic party because of their lust for power.

Interesting how the word, was seems to be highlighted in this report, as if to assume that this was true. Why would Hillary put something as simple as a photo out there to raise questions, when she has directed her campaign in another direction. As for her anger over this flier that she had just been notified of, would we be questioning the reaction if this were one of the male candidates?? I continue to hear how Hillary is doing these attacks, and yet we do not hear so much about what the other candidates have done, have they all received their halo’s? Come on this is so obvious, time to get on to what is important in this campaign instead of questioning every single move that she may make and then twisting it into something that it is not. At the beginning I was a John Edwards supporter. But after everything that has been taking place and after studying where each candidate stands on the serious issues, I have found that whether you want to believe it or not “she”(Hillary Clinton) is what this country needs.

Geoffrey,
Get a clue. The democratic party began to fall apart when it started promising everything to everybody back in the 60s.
The only line Obama hasn’t used is a chicken in every pot.

Don’t blame the decline of the Democratic Party on the Clintons

Anderson,

During the past few weeks the democratic race has become very intense. I feel that gender is not the issue at all with me. It seems to me that the media has gone out of its way to create the Obama icon and paint the Clinton campaign as confused and desparate, as if the race for the nomination is already lost. I am just an average American looking for the best person to helpour nation return to its rightful place in the world. I’d just like to be able to make my own decision fairly, without what clearly seems like biasd reporting between the candidates. The media seems to have made up its mind who it believes will be the Democratic nominee, I’d like the opportunity to hear the issues presented without the glamorization and/or negativity of the candidates. The press should present the issues without the commentary turning this political race into one starring a single media darling. Andy Warhol said we all have fifteen minutes of fame, Senator Obama is surely beyond his. It is time to provide the same media treatment and analysis to the other candidate. We do still have two correct?

Personally I feel that the republicans are pushing her out of the spot light. .They want to run against Obama. I support Hillary but do believe this picture stuff is silly. I do not believe she did that. But I do believe she is upset about the flyers and she should be.
If she were a man would all this be coming down on her like this,
I think not.
Look she has to draw a line between the Obama ’s campaign. He obviously was. HELLO. Why can’t she fire back. Oh I forgot she is a woman.

Go Hillary,

I am a life long democrat as is and has been all of my family. If Hillary gets the nomination I will be forced to vote republican. I cannot in all honesty support Hillary Clinton. Her behavior is so embarrassing. People loose their temper when the truth strikes home.

I would also have to say that in his arrogance Obama stated he could get Hillary voters before she would get his. He needs to rethink that…from what I hear they will not vote for Obama.

Why isn’t the media doing their job. Why haven’t we heard anything about the fact that Obama has taken 1.3 million from PAC’s during his federal elections according to opensecrets.org Why hasn’t the media pressed this issue against Obama considering he’s acting like he hasn’t taken money from PAC’s before. Do your fair share of reporting and scrutinize Obama like you do Hillary.

Hillary is only proving that she is not the real thing. She is not consistent in her behavior and seems to be experimenting with displays of anger, tears and mockery in efforts to try to connect with real people. Her inability to connect now is a clear indication of her inability to connect if elected as president. There is no hope that such a polar influence will work with anyone toward a common goal. Her closed-door health care plan actually set reform back. At the age of 60 she displays less maturity and class than her younger Democratic opponent. She seems to be outraged at “policy” criticisms from Obama and reacts as though they were personal assaults on her integrity but thinks nothing of leveling personal assaults of plagiarism at Obama. Her arrogance is hard to view much less comprehend. This behavior is not new. Bill Clinton was advised by Senator Moynihan of New York to wait on the health care reform issue until he had more political capital. However, he was unable to control Hillary who forged on with no experience into an attempt at health care reform. There is only one reason why this would be done behind closed doors without political support. That reason is self-gratification. Another example of this was evident in her behavior just after being elected to the New York Senate. Instead of appreciating her luck in being elected as an outsider which was largely the result of Giuliani not running against her due to his diagnosis of cancer she made short order of signing a multimillion-dollar book deal. Hillary is a classic narcissist and should never be put in a position of power over any group of people.

Spoken like a true Republican Supporter!

I wonder what your comment would have been if the attack by Obama had been on McCain and his hundred year war? McCain incidently the worst thing that could possibly happen to our World! “Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran!

If George Bush wasn’t enough, vote for his twin John and enjoy another four years of blatant Arrogance, Indifference, a rock bottom economy with billions $$$$$$ of your tax dollars padding the elite of Pakistan and Iraq , Oil Dynasties and a war that was initated on lies and continues on the false hope of a future legacy however ill conceived.

Amy, it is quite clear that CNN is doing everything in their power to discredit, and disenfranchise Hillary. And quite frankly, you and your associates would serve your Network well by at least trying to conceal your preferance of Candidates.

And if you could, I would truly appreciate it if you would give other members of the panel a chance to speak. It is very rude to continue to talk whilst another is speaking. You seem to feel it is your turn regardless of who is speaking. Constant jabbering over the top of another speaker greatly reduces your credability. In fact, I change channels as I know it will be impossible to hear the opinions of anyone else on the panel. Very unprofessional on your part.

The media and CNN in particular are quite biased against Hillary Clinton. I will not vote for Obama…he is not qualified to be President. This life long democrat will vote for McCain…at least he has experience.

I think Hillary is doing wonderfully! I don’t see where she is falling apart or coming “unhinged.” She may be sending a lot of messages, but what is wrong with that? We have a lot of people in this world and different things appeal to them. I believe that she is doing wonderfully and you had better watch what you say - you’re bordering a bias towards Obama, dear.

Oh wait, Obama can do no wrong and Hillary is off her “hinges.” My bad.

Right on Amy. Hilary appears desperate now.

Amy:

I loved how Hillary acted this weekend. Give me a break in your article. I have no problem with Hillary actions at all.

You need to get your facts right. There is no proof the Clinton camp distributed that picture. Why would they, what’s with the picture? You are not doing yourself any favors by acting like one of Obama’s many delusion fans. You yourself are attacking Hillary in the manner that you accuse her.

What terrifies me, Ms. Holmes, is the thought that an inexperienced, Louis Farrakhan endorsed (which your network should be talking about now, but is not), dressed in muslim (yes, with a small “m”) garb, advocater of going into a nuclear pakistan on our own, as much a white-anglo as african-american (why isn’t that brought out) novice, cultish, creepy, youngster might get the Democratic nomination. “Hussein” does not have a chance if he gets the nomination and runs against any republican. Democrats will flock to the republican nominee, in my opinion (yes, some of us are not impressed with the new cult). Why would not Mr. Obama, a very young man, not want to be the v.p. nominee with Ms. Clinton when this is what REALLY could unite the democrats right now? Come on, Mr. B. accept the V.P. and let’s together band, then we can say, “yes, we can.” TC

Article title was very cheeky and sexist: Hell Hath No Fury Like a Candidate Scorned! Thanks Amy

Yes Vee, [10:19 pm ET]
You’re correct.. Guilty people scream and deny the loudest.

The 1 and only minor error made in those flyers has alreay been acknowledged and retracted by Senator Obama. He stands upright and completely accurate on every remaining claim made in those mail pieces.
There is something inherently evil in that woman…
Let us all pray for deliverance from that evil within her..

Why bother to post on a blog when comments you don’t like are not displayed. A contributor here is able to write an article saying any scathing thing they want about someone (Hillary) and no one can question this contributor. How embarrassing for CNN.

So Amy, why should she not get angry? I have never heard her support NAFTA on her campaign trail. Why no outrage on Obama’s negatvie attack on her? Oh yeah, Obama can do no wrong even when he is going negative. I wish press would just report give their opinions. Hillary’s words are very accurate that Obama is not follwoing his words and is going negative instead of running a positive campaign. But media is not going to talk about it. Enough already. Stop the nonsense!

Fair Point….yet don’t forget there are MILLIONS of Clinton supporters (such as myself) who may very well stay home or vote republican in November if Mr Obama is nominated AND without our support and the disappearance of support from all those independents and republicans who were able to vote in many many democratic primaries (such as Texas) only to determine the democratic nominee they think will be easier to beat, Sen Obama will lose.

Bright Spot: John McCain will surely be a one-term president and we can then go to Hillary ….round 2(012). That’s how this fervent Hillary democrat sees it!

Cut Clinton a break. If you watch the woman’s speeches it’s obvious she knows her stuff and understands what this job is all about. I just watched both Clinton and Obama on CSpan. Clinton gave an excellent speech that in it’s entirety was impressive but if you’re getting your news from sound bites, you won’t get the whole story. All the news stations managed to take a good speech and turn it into a negative for her. After Clinton’s event the program cut immediately to Obama’s. He gave a nice speech but couldn’t touch Clinton in substance. After it was over they played Signed Sealed Delivered I’m Yours and then Your Love Is Lifting Me Higher. Almost five minutes of uplifting songs with Obama surrounded by the adoring crowd. Don’t get me wrong. I think the guy has his good points and I’ll support him if he wins the nomination but I think the media coverage is slanted. Five minutes of songs isn’t news — it comes dangerously close to propaganda. It’s time to give Hillary her due and a fair chance. The race is far from over and it’s the candidates who should be heard, not the media. I listen and read and check out both Clinton’s and Obama’s websites and everyday I ask myself if I had to vote today who would I vote for and so far the answer is Clinton.

These kind of slash and burn politics are reprehensible, and unfortunately have been a theme of the Clinton campaign.

Clinton lost my vote after sending out mailers in NH and Nevada inferring that Barack Obama wouldn’t stand up for women’s rights(not true). After this, she has the gall to get upset at his mailings, which are true?
She is the one taking a page out of the Rove playbook.

This is why the American people are not responding- we deserve more than this nonsense.

Hillary.

She stole your horse, drank your beer, and ran over your mailbox.

Now,
Will THAT get her some positive media coverage?

I also wonder why she continues to champion the needs of the American people. It is a thankless job.

Hillary is my gal.

You won’t catch this former First Lady basking in the ‘afterglow’ of the White House years.

She has taken a lot of hits while fighting for a better life for the folks in this country. I’m glad to see her ‘vent’ .

That speaks volumes to me….and a good 50% of the voting democrats in this country.

I doubt that this comment will see the light of day but I’ll give it a try.
My poem didn’t set well with you. I didn’t think it would.

The predjudist of the media where Hilary is concerned is more than a concern to me.
You all have so much power over an election. If you don’t like a candidate and like the opponent you make it so obvious.
I would like to think we live in a democracy that is fair and particularly when it comes to you who have so much influence.
I think it’’s truly shameful how biased you have all been.
Hilary may not be all hearts and flowers but she deserves at least as much positive coverage as the others.
They are, believe me, not without flaws. Strange you never hear about them. You even exagerate the negative to cast the worst possible light on Hilary…….Shame on you…….

Pam S.

Man, it makes me so sick when I read that people will vote republican if Hillary gets the nomination. Stay home on election night. Why would you put this country back in the hands of the republicans. Haven’t they done enough damage already. STAY HOME!!! By the way Gooooooo Obama!!

Note to Amy:
Have YOU ever written something ‘good’ about someone you obviously don’t like but should respect? It’s a good exercise.

The Dems need to ask some hard questions about the candidate that they least know. The foreign press is doing a pretty good job.

It isn’t Hillary who is splintering the party. She is rowing the boat the hardest, taking the nasty hits. But she still keeps ticking.

Her past was been combed with a microscope for 8 years in the White House. Is that why we feel free to blast away at her?

HISTORY will be kind to this woman.

If Sen. Clinton is of the opinion that she will be ready on day one, then her campaign should have seriously taken into consideration the possibility that the nomination process may extent way beyond Super Tuesday. Today, with Sen.Obama wave moving across the country, the best advise one can give to Sen. Clinton is to take heed of the remarks from Former Govenor Ann Richards of Texas, to Prez Bush Sr. during the 1988 Democratic convention: ” TURN OFF THE LIGHTS, THE PARTY IS OVER”.

Hillary Clinton keeps stating that she has 35 years of experience and over the weekend she upped the ante to a lifetime of experience. Except for the last seven years as as senator, during which time her only significant accomplishment appears to have been getting a bill passed naming US Post Offices, just exactly what experience does she have except for standing in reception lines in Arkansas and the White House and shaking hands with foreign dignitaries and their wives. That somehow does not seem, to me at least, to qualify her to be Commander-in-Chief.

Hillary Clinton gives the appearance of one suffering from some form of mental illness, and I do not mean to make light of mental illness. Her tactics are nasty and make a mockery of The Democratic Party. I agree with the reporter’s suggestion today that she bow out of the presidential race now. However, I do not agree that she can bow out gracefully – it is far too late for that since her conduct has been everything but graceful. If she cannot withstand the pressures of campaigning how in the world did she ever think she could withstand the pressures of the presidency? What a joke!

Come on Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode Island Democrats, Republicrats and Independents let’s rally behind Obama and put an end to Hillary’s madness. Let’s allow Obama ample time to focus his efforts on defeating McCain in the General Election!!!

Very well said, Amy. I am outraged at how Hillary is behaving. She’s like a spoiled child who isn’t getting her way, and acting out in every way she can. I hope no one is falling for her antics! The debate tomorrow should be interesting….!

I was a Hillary supporter, but her behavior has been shameful, all the attacks are not only not helping her campaign but also hurting the democrats. Barrack Obama seems like he is the only honest candidate. She should just team up with Obama and get over it.

I have to say this, but this sheer hatred towards Hillary is truly scary to me.

I think it says alot when Hillary Clinton was joined by senior retired Military and Defense Officials at yesterdays Foreign Policy Speech.

Did the Foreign Policy Speech get any airplay? I did not see it if it did.

What is with these threats about ‘I’m going to vote for the other party’ if my candidate is not the party nominee? You heard from ’shock’ conservatives like Ann Coulter saying the same thing about McCain the leading candidate in the Republican race.

I don’t understand why people expect female candidate be emotional at every speech or debate and male candidate be tough. I prefere to see Hillary as a tough Comander in chief, not a cry baby. What tiers have to do with nomination ?

While the media now appears to agree that Obama has been treated favourably compared to Hillary, I still feel he has received his fair share of attacks. He has not complained about people such as Mr. O’Reilly, who has threatened Michelle Obama with physical violence, should she have meant her comments about this country in a negative way. He has responded to Hillary and her attacks in a level headed way and I am confident he is well aware, that the road ahead is going to be a tough one. As for voting republican should Hillary be nominated: NEVER!!! ANY democrat is going to be better for this country than a republican and Hillary will certainly do a good job, if Bill’s 8 years are anything to judge by. That said, she needs to stop the whining and roll with the punches.

Hate to be a pain about this, but the line is “You stay classy, San Diego,” not “Keep it classy, San Diego.” Can’t believe no one else has spotted that.

(this is my way of subtly agreeing with the main point of your post)

Enough already!

When Hillary cries, they say that’s a show, show here emotional side. When Hillary speaks, they say she screeches. When Hillary waive the flyer and point out the lies, they say she’s angry, unclassy, and “beetchy”. Why can’t she, like everyone of us, has the luxury to display our emotions?

As a democrat, I can’t believe we are chosing personalities over experience and qualifications. For the first time in this country, we have a serious female contender to win the Whitehouse, and what do we do? We complain about her emotions, her speeches, her makeup, her voice - I dont see anyone in the press doing the same psychoanalyses on the other candidates - democrats or republicans.

I suppose is it more politically correct to beat up a female candidate in the primary than to even utter a fact check on some political newbie running on a post-racial, post-partisan, post-gender, post-whatever agenda (whatever that means!).

Does Anerica really need to redeem herself to other folks in the world to elect someone because of the skin color regardless of qualifications and background?

As a female, voting for the democrats for every single election, this is one that I feel most angry about.

My anger is not aiming towards the other side but to my party. Just why, why are they beating Hillary up the way they did? Enough Already.

Anderson - I think that if Amy is given a forum to rail against Hillary then others on the “Best Political Team on Television” should be given a chance to rail on the other candidates. I think this post from Amy is totally biased and unfair. Why do you feel you need to continually show us how horrible Hillary Clinton is? Your portrayal is comical and predictable. Don’t you think we can decide for ourselves who we want to vote for?

“Be honest about what you see, get out of the way and let the story reveal itself” Hmmmmm???

Amy Holmes is not only beautiful; she’s very discerning!

I fully agree with your comments Amy. I have said from day one of both their candidacies, that Hillary just isn’t qualified to be our commander in chief. That’s because I very strongly believe that she’s carrying way too much baggage. For Christ’s sakes, she can’t even run an efficient presidential campaign, so why in the world would anyone want her to be in charge of this country.

I have no problem at all with a woman running this country, it’s just that Hillary isn’t the person for the job. Based on her overall record, she just doesn’t cut it in my book. She’s way too divisive, as Senator Chris Dodd and others have implied, and has no class, and simply isn’t presidential material. Need I say more! It’s Obama in 2008!!!

Underestimate a Clinton at your peril.

the comment made by Bill at 1:26 on 2/26 is a perfect example of the sexism and bias in this country against women. Do you even realize how sexist your comments about Clinton are. you stated Hillary didn’t do anything other than “shaking hands with foreigh dignitaries and their wives”. In other words all dignitaries and presidents are male and all their wives “can do” is stand behind them in line and shake hands. How ridiculous these statements are, but of course you wouldn’t recognize that you yourself are sexist.
Hillary represented our country for eight years in the white house. She did significant work on attempting to achieve healthcare reform. She has lived, endured and come out the other side of years of criticism by people just like you. She is a strong person and a fighter. Let’s see how many of us or how Obama stands up to this kind of criticism. As we all saw last night during the debate, the only two times the moderator even began to criticize or question Obama, he waffled and changed his position e.g., on his statement regarding public campaign finance and on Farakahn’s support. Do we really want a president that only makes decisions by concensus? The most powerful position and person as the President of the United States needs to be able to make decisions and stand by them, whether they are criticized or not. Hillary has done that throughout her public life
