CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – On the eve of the first-in-the-nation caucuses, Hillary Clinton once again stressed her experience over her Democratic rivals, saying she is solely qualified to walk into the Oval Office and immediately address the “stack of problems” awaiting the next president.
She attacked the Bush and Cheney administration on everything from the price of oil to the war in Iraq to skyrocketing college tuition, and said it was crucial that Iowans brave the bitter cold tomorrow night to show their support for her.
“You know, the Republicans are not going to give this up without a fight,” Clinton said. “They are not going to say, ‘You know, we messed it up so much maybe it’s the Democrats’ turn.”
She at one point joked that she was willing to go through the same inspection process as cattle, joking about a campaign stop at a barn sale where she was asked to stand near livestock up for sale.
“You want to look inside my mouth before you decide? Go ahead, it’s all a part of the process,” Clinton joked. “But you know, it’s a good process, because we get tested and you get to decide.”

Why isn't anyone reporting on Hillary's major gaffes on ABC and CNN about Pakistan's elections, when she erroneously said Musharref is seeking reelection when that is not the case. As Joe Biden reported today, Musharref was elected several months ago and the Pakistani election coming up is for the Parliament, not president. Has Hillary lost it? What's going on with her, this plus her silly "diva" comment? Is her stupidity somehow out-of-touch for the media?

Obama is selling dreams which elevates us to a higher ground and makes us feel good, capable of anything and everything. But people, we live in the reality of the world. Let us be realistic and support very capable, experienced, committed, dedicated leader (regardless of a couple of gaffes). Go Hillary... I believe you, I support you, I will follow your lead.
