How does a politician have this kind of money to loan? Read about it here.
Late last month Senator Clinton loaned her campaign $5 million.The loan illustrates Sen. Clinton’s commitment to this effort and to ensuring that our campaign has the resources it needs to compete and win across this nation. We have had one of our best fundraising efforts ever on the web today and our Super Tuesday victories will only help in bringing more support for her candidacy.

A great article about the inconsistencies of Hillary's stance on the Iraq war. This will no doubt come back to bite her in November if she gets the nomination. Read it here.

A great piece written by Thomas de Zengotita from the Huffington Post. Here it is in full.
My last minute unscientific polling among friends and family is telling me that the closer Obama gets to winning, the more people (especially women of a certain age) are hesitating. The experience argument is starting to bite at just the moment when they are realizing that he might actually become president. There is this ahead-of-time buyer's remorse kicking in. Do we really want to risk the future of this country on the rhetoric and style of this beautiful young man who came out of nowhere? Or do we want a Clinton Restoration? Shouldn't we turn this over to the pros, the people who know the ropes, know the game, isn't that the safe way to go? That's what they are asking.
One of them I particularly trust said to me -- but if I vote for Obama, isn't that a leap of faith?
To which I replied, in a moment of inspiration -- yes. It is a leap of faith. But that's a good thing. It's a young thing, a let's-get-over the baby boomer culture wars thing. That is, in fact, the whole point of his campaign against cynicism. It's the challenge of hope. It's the very meaning of hope.
So here's what it says if you decide for Obama at the last minute. It says: let's hand it over to the young people we raised and educated. We did a pretty good job of that, actually. So let's not be greedy. Let's get off the stage with grace and dignity and leave it all in the hands of the next generation.

Great article. Read it here.
Over the past four years, I have observed in him a consistency that earns confidence. He is thoughtful, courteous and humorous, yet he leaves no doubt that, while being a good listener, he will shape his own thinking and fight for what he believes in. He makes me believe that we can be the country we want to be, that we can solve the intractable problems that have divided us, that we can enlist the youth of America to help build our future, that we can be respected again in the eyes of the world -- and, yes, that we can have a president who will call us to the high ground, and ask us to ask ourselves, once again, not what our country can do for us but what we can do for our country.

Hillary is tearing it up again. It's a little too coincidental that she is doing this - again. Read about it here.
Here is the full article since the site is being pounded right now.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Sen. Hillary Clinton teared up this morning at an event at the Yale Child Study Center, where she worked while in law school in the early 1970s.
Penn Rhodeen, who was introducing Clinton, began to choke up, leading Clinton's eyes to fill with tears, which she wiped out of her left eye. At the time, Rhodeen was saying how proud he was that sheepskin-coat, bell-bottom-wearing young woman he met in 1972 was now running for president.
"Well, I said I would not tear up; already we're not exactly on the path," Clinton said with emotion after the introduction.
Clinton is holding a roundtable discussion with Connecticut women to talk about childcare and healthcare.
When Clinton got misty-eyed at an event in New Hampshire on Jan. 7, politicos and pundits filled hours discussing if it helped her, and Clinton eventually pointed to the moment as when she "found her voice" and turned the corner in the Granite State.
At the time, there was much debate if the candidate's emotional response to a question -- "How do you do it?"" -- was genuine or calculated.Let the conversation begin again...
