3. she would be advised to not pander to that demographic...
Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 05:07 PM by Didereaux
as already noted in every publication and yak show she is not appealing to the 'shallowness and faddish fickleness' of the kid crowd. Her best strategy is and has been to address the crowd that will listen to her dry presentations and at least have the wisdom to think about what is said(albeit it could be argued that such a thing did not help my choice Biden very much). The other almost trite truisms the kids don't vote in general elections, never have before and until they do so you have to go with history. I can see the myraid of nasty, rude, grammatically challenged, response from the spoiled brats around here pointing to Iowa as proof positive that once again the world will saved by the snot-nosed set...proof children proof!

As for Hillary, after the Biden withdrawal I am going to remain uncommitted and simple try and help where I can to remind people that NOVEMBER is the goal line...and if we are to salvage the last vestiges of this country we not only have to put up what we think is the best candidate, but equally that the one third of this nations electorate who are independents will also vote for that candidate.

The older voters and the independents are far more concerned about specific issues than they are about 'feeling good'. Any candidate who is going to win in November is going to have to have some pretty well thought out plans for the economy, Iraq, health care, immigration, and even how they are going to deal with the last administration.

So in this highly compressed mess of a primary season, it behooves the candidates ALL of them to start outlining some hard strategies for dealing with these issues.
