meh, I don't really like what either side is saying. I like the idea of benchmarks for the war, but I don't think there should be hard deadlines. War is chaos, anything can happen in a matter of months, so there should be some flexibility, but at the same time there needs to be clear benchmarks to show the wars success. It seems like either you are for an endless Iraq war or you are for immediate withdrawal, neither of which is a good idea IMO.

I do think Clinton is going by the polls, she just doesn't seem to have much of a backbone. I really do not want to see her winning the primaries. I think if Giuliani was smart he would not attack her at all, but attack Obama and try to cause him to loose the primaries. I think if Hilary wins the primaries she will certainly loose the overall election. I mean what republican is going to vote for her? A lot of dems won't even vote for her as well so I doubt she has a serious chance.
