The Billary coronation is right on track simply because the majority of American people have been hynotized to the will of the Clintons. The 2nd Clinton Whitehouse takeover plan was calculated 12 years ago by an Arkansas machine that is still very much alive and kicking...unfortunately those that have stood in the way of the Clintons over the years can't make the same claim. This is a very dangerous political operation that doesn't take prisoners. President Billary is a for gone conclusion!

about time for mainstream stories about this- the 'billery' syndrome, which is so, let's be polite and say, unseemly- whether you want hillary to win or not; a recent former president being the bad cop, the attacker, the accuser- as if the couple is not only campaigning together but also would serve together; has this happened any other time with any former president? no; they may endorse but they don't throw the mud; unfortunately the clintons seem to want to win at almost any cost, even demeaning the presidency in the process

This article's headline says ''Top Democrats'' -- none are named here. This is just an excuse to attack Bill Clinton from a publication that is clearly trying to get Obama elected.

Was anyone else concerned about the candidates talking about a 30% ceiling on credit card limits? How about 10% and stop pandering to these huge corporate interests that have taken advantage over all Americans. The resulting savings would be a nice start to helping the economy!

The Clinton's appear to have reached the same level of moral and ethical bankruptcy as the GOP; so how will she win in November and if she gets the nomination what choices will our country have???

I am 31 years old. Since I have been 4 years old, we have had the same families, either President or Vice President in the white house. This is sad.

Hillary Clinton has been running for President since she became the first lady. Hillary Clinton will say, and has said that, Bill Clinton used her as a 'sounding board' for many issues when they were in the white house. But, Hillary didn't have anything to do with any of the scandals during and after their administration? Don't believe it for a minute.

Any one of us would make a better President than GW, but do you want another Washington criminal in the white house?

Think twice, speak once has never been the modus operandi of either Bill or Hillary Clinton.
They shoot first and ask questions later.
I really can't figure out how they've hoodwinked the public for so long.

Everyone of us voters should be concerned about the Billary jugernaut being on course for the White House. It is imperative all independents and conservatives rally to the cause this year.

The ex-President of the US is degrading the office of the Presidency by so meanly distorting, lying and viciously attacking our country's best bright hope and touting his over-the-hill wife on whose skirts he plans to return to the White House for two more terms. Many of the voters supporting Hillary are open about their desire to have Bill back in the WH, and very few citizens are noting that such a development is unconstituional. Hillary's campaign says she cannot control what Bill says; how then will she control him when they are back in power as twin-president? If she cannot make him zip his mouth now, how can we be sure she can make him zip his mouth and his pants in 2009 and onward? There is a basic inequity and injustice in Senator Obama having to debate TWO candidates, the ex-President AND his wife. What will the history books make of such an outrageous phenomenon in the beginning of the 21st century?

Obama is clearly uncomfortable when the mud starts to be flung by the Clintons. His is obviously getting better at it in the debates but for me it is a sad fact of life that he need to get in the gutter like the Clintons. I was a BJ and HRC fan, looking for a woman in the White House, but I cannot in my heart support such rancor; it does not set a good example for our children, our government and the world that looks to us for leadership with values.

I fully agree. With interest rates down to 3 or 4%, why not put a ceiling of 10% interest on all consumer credit card debt, bush would'nt have to give americans a dime and americans would have more money to spend.

Obama should aim at Bill Clinton when he made 'fairy tale' comment about Obama candidancy. It's well known in the inner circle of Clinton camp, Obama is an 'UPPITY' who is denying Hilary's presidency. It's Hilary's birth right to be President for another 8 years.

Clintons machine build around to have that edge while he was a president and making roadmap for Hilary. Hilary will stay another 8 years, then Chelsea Clinton will be ready for the presidency.

Another Clinton dynasty!

Clinton should in no way back off. Obama has been treated with and still is being treated with kid gloves. I think because they are afraid to come down too hard on the minority candidate. Obama get away with calling HRC comments about MLK racist and the Clinton's can't hit back Well hit back and hit back hard they should. Obama is a rookie and is making a lot of rookie mistakes. His comment about Hillary serving on the Wall Mart board was a high Schollish comment. What is your point, Mr. Obama? What does that have to do with solving our countries policy issue? Obama voted record and lack of is defeinatly a campaign issue. Mr. Obama lacks significant experience and his campaign style is bearing that in experience out in the debate. He was down right child like. Also, having Bill Clinton in the White House as an advisor is a good thing. So HRC should use that to her every advantage, Thanks for reminding us Mr. Obama

The 2004 result would have been different with a supportive Bill. Instead, he could not quite criticize Bush (ie promote change), and after closing the books on Iran-Contra, he has been shielding the entire Bush clan for fifteen years. That's our Bill.

His Carville spilled the beans about Kerry's election night plans to Mary, who told Dick, who told Blackwell, if Woodward's book is to be believed. We lost our only state supported ability to count, and provisional ballots disappeared. McAuliffe assured the campaign the polls were protected, and didn't believe in electronic theft. Maybe all placeholders for Hillary? Kerry could not do all the heavy lifting. Where were Dems in support and on defense? Were they told to stand down, or support on paper only?

The media had all the facts about the Swifties from day one, but preferred the entertainment value of possibly true and those purple band-aids (as well as Bush again for deregulation promises).

Not all is what it seems. Although Hillary is smart and capable, she would be as much a win for the GOP in corporate connections, chits owed, with Obama far more policy smart, people smart, than people yet know, and a great listener. Imagine, someone who listens.

We have big fences to mend and problems to fix. I think we need to take a not so risky chance with Obama, and say good-bye to Bill.

Imagine his feeling we needed to endure these last years just for his do-over opportunity.

Obama did a great job.
He dealt with the Clinton lies
then he dealt with the issues.
