"The fact of the matter is, they are two different people," said James McConaha, a Concord Democrat who campaigned around the country for Bill Clinton after the 1992 primary and later was made director of the state branch of the federal Farm Service Agency, but is now backing Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.). "Not that their positions on issues are different, which they might be. It's that they are really two different people. They are dramatically different, in my opinion."

But there also are local Democrats who say the affection they felt for Bill Clinton does not necessarily carry over to backing his wife. McConaha said that what drew him to Bill Clinton in 1992 was his "style, his intellect, his grasp of everything" and his ability to make the Democratic Party appeal to the middle of the political spectrum. He said he doesn't have a clear sense of what Sen. Clinton's vision for the party is. "I honestly couldn't tell you where Hillary is on that. I haven't heard it articulated or certainly not articulated as well as Bill did," he said. "They are just two very different people. To me, they might as well not even be related."

Yet some Clinton supporters are anxious. One staunch Clinton backer, a former elected official in the state, felt alarm on visiting Obama's headquarters in Manchester to pick up tickets for a friend for Oprah Winfrey's appearance with Obama last weekend and seeing how much "buzz" there was there. "I'm nervous. Obama's campaign feels like Jack Kennedy's. They seem so excited," said the supporter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the campaign had not authorized the comments. "When I call Hillary's headquarters, there's no electricity. It's scary."

1. Does this unnamed operative . . .

I wonder, what sort of "electricity" does this unnamed operative routinely feel when he or she makes a phone call? And why wouldn't a campaign's headquarters be jazzed about handing out tickets to see their candidate appear with Oprah Winfrey?

Another Washington Post article designed to muddy the waters without providing any actual news. They're getting quite good at it after all their years of practice during the corrupt Bush administration.

2. WOW! Here's the Clinton response to "no electricity" at New Hampshire office

CLINTON RESPONSE:

New Hampshire Headquarters

Hello,

I'm Bill Clinton. Like you, I am concerned about global warming and carbon footprints and my wife's campaign has decided to do something about it. Global warming is a dramatically urgent and serious problem. We don't need to wait for governments to find a solution for this problem: each individual can bring an important help adopting a more responsible lifestyle: starting from little, everyday things. It's the only reasonable way to save our planet, before it is too late.

We have decided to not have electricity at some campaign offices in New Hampshire so that we can prove to you that we care. And did I forget about change? Do you have any? Please leave some in an envelope and slip it under the door.

Thank you.

5. No electricity? I guess that the lights are out and somebody's home.

[Adelante]

7. Obama's campaign has the electricity

Heh :D

9. So did Dean's.

[jenmito]

10. Dean didn't have NEARLY the organization Obama has.

8. Remind me how the media wants Hillary to be the candidate?

WaPo didn't get the memo?

I wish these guys could at least keep the lies and distortions straight.

12. Right now, the media is on an anti-Hilary campaign, and nothing

she does can be good enough. They'll spin any small negative into a huge one...not saying she doesn't have negatives...but what we're seeing is the sheep mentaility of the MSM--they're followers, not leaders.

[earthlover]

13. The media created Hillary as the front runner even before 04 was over

She has been the assumed front runner ever since. Up until Hillary blew the debate and her campaign started doing stupid things. Now she has gone negative and it isn't helping at all.

So what we see here is blaming everything on the media. Sorta like Nixon when he said the media wouldn't have Dick Nixon to kick around....
