Perhaps I wasn't clear. My concern is that 20/20 could smear Senator Clinton by suggesting she was engaged in push-polling. This is network news, not Chris Matthews. And it was done less than a week before the NH primary. Re: my above post. Perhaps I wasn’t clear. My concern is that 20/20 could smear Senator Clinton by suggesting she was engaged in push-polling.

He has a record there of being a coalition builder. When he ran for Senate, he carried all districts, even traditionally Republican districts, in the state. He's honest, he's quite politic (in the true sense of the word) and he's smart. But he's also quite in the center. However, Huckabee scares the living daylights out of me. All the Republican candidates do, actually. Obama is quite well liked in Illinois. He has a record there of being a coalition builder.

I saw it only once, so I may not have all the details correct. 20/20 showed a segment on political “dirty tricks”-how each candidate has their own research organization to uncover items that would be damaging to other candidates. The last part of the segment dealt with push-polling in Iowa’s 2007 causcus and an Iowa woman who said she had been called and recorded the call. The caller/pollster asked about Obama and Edwards with questions suggesting possible unethical practices on their part, but no questions were asked about Clinton. The host of 20/20 pointed that out the push/poll may have been conducted by the the Clinton campaign as no smear questions regarding Clinton were asked. I plan to attend an open house at a new campaign office for Senator Clinton in Phoenix this afternoon. Perhaps someone there will have a comment. What do you guys think about the segment and a network program airing it less that a week before the NH primary? Did anyone watch 20/20 last night?

The think is, if they know how to do all these things, health care, education, end the war, boost the economy, why don't they do it. They are in office for chrissake. I don't see hillary proposing bills of fillibustering for principles. Obama either. Neither Clinton nor Obama voted for the omnibus spending bill that gave bush his millions for the war without any troop withdrawal. they were absent and on the campaign trail. They all need gunny sacks and a pile of rocks and take a trip down by the river.

The neocons have one of their own in Huckabee whether he is their first choice or not, and I'm not sure what Obama is but at least he isn't Hillary. Good post.
