Iron Lady or Not!!

New York Times: Simple questions folks can you see Lady Thatcher in a debate complain that all the men had her as the main target of the questions and negative comments. The simple answer is NO, hell would have to freeze over before Lady Thatcher would use the gender card. Another mistake by Clinton, you cant expect to get in to debate and not be attacked by those on the stage. THE REPUBLICANS WILL RUN THIS ARGUMENT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Obama and Iran

New York Times: Interesting interview with Senator Obama in the paper. The Senator is moving left, he needs to the Liberal base of the Democratic Party to support him in Iowa over Senator Edwards. The move to the left is a mistake, willing to talk to Iran with no conditions is a massive error in judgement. The NYT states the following, " The suggestion, which emerged as a flash point in the campaign, has prompted Mrs. Clinton to question whether such an approach would amount to little more than a propaganda victory for the United States’ adversaries and to question the experience of Mr. Obama,... " . The NYT is split, it supports Hillary because it thinks she can win but really in its hearts of hears supports Obama. Thus while pointing out problems with the Obama plan it less than critical. It points out all the old Clinton hands that are helping Obama. The 2008 race after the debate is a lot more interesting to political geeks.
