 [rightvoice.org] Change You Can’t Believe In: From the War in Iraq and Troop Funding, to the Embargo with Cuba to Public Financing for his Campaign to his now recent talk surrounding the issue of Offshore Drilling there is no doubt that the Senator is pretty much willing to say whatever it takes in order to win, figuring he has more than enough time between elections to do what he figures he needs to do to and then try to win back the support by re-crafting his message around this blatantly contradictory word and deed.

 [Hillary Democrats United] ELECTABILITY WATCH (EW): Many people I know have relied on SCHIP, the excellent plan for children passed by the Democrats in Congress, often foregoing insurance for ourselves (we are small business owners and freelancers).  With a strong President backing a universal plan, we have a good chance of creating and passing a universal plan that works.  This in turn would help our economy immensely - freeing up family and small business resources, and even assisting big corporations which cannot compete overseas due to high health insurance costs. This would gain the loyalty of the American public to the Democratic Party for years to come.   Senator Clinton supports and will fight for a truly universal healthcare plan (and yes, there are some things important enough to fight for!)
